They're only about Ãƒ”šÃ‚£12 all in. They are different for the manual and auto too.

Last time this was asked, Adam locked the thread saying it was a stupid question!

You should know better Jon!

Ãƒ”šÃ‚£13 is about right!

sorry dude.

Different one too, depending whether you've got a simple single pipe to the servo, or that weird double pipe / double valve set up.

I broke the double valve on my wifes tourer a while back, and found the hose was split at the same time. Replaced it all with the single pipe from a scrapper, and a new hose without the extra branch.
No difference in the brakes at all.

soundin dumb as usual, but what has the afm and tb to do with the brakes :lol:

Post Tue Sep 06, 2005 11:37 pm

In my (limited) experience it's only the autos that have the double piping (that's the diference I was talking about)
Would it be to stop the engine dying when stationary if you pump the brake pedal like mad? (ie the extra load on the engine by the auto, then rev drop when vacuum kept open by pumping brakes?) just a thought.

oh, but mines a maual?

Mine was a manual as well. Oct 88 build.

hmmm, ill get some pics and see what is goin on

I did said my experience was limited!

Does your manual double pipe thing attach to an extra elbow on the bellows? Or do you just have the TB and ICV outlets? My auto double pipe goes into an extra bellows elbow.

Would it have something to do with the cat?

gettin worried now, do i have the wrong afm pipe on there??

ive had 3 manuals and seen loas that have the double piping

the 525 had the ingle piping

OK, here's a pic I knicked off ebay.
I'm getting confused now! I meant to say it's only the autos that have the extra connector to the bellows, not the whole pipes and valves song and dance.
