General description
1. High temperatures in the engine compartment can cause deterioration of rubber and plastic hoses. Therefore, it is necessary to periodically check the hoses for cracks, signs of wear, leaks, hardening of the material and the reliability of the tightening of the clamps.
Vacuum hoses
2. Usually all vacuum hoses have a unique color or are marked with colored stripes. When replacing hoses, always make sure that the new hoses are made of the same material as the old hoses.
3. To check the hose, it is recommended to remove it completely from the car. When checking the hoses, do not forget to check the T-shaped connections.
Fuel hoses
Caution: On models with electronic fuel injection, be sure to relieve pressure from the fuel system before disconnecting the fuel hoses.
4. Check all rubber fuel hoses and tubes for signs of wear, cracks or damage. When replacing fuel hoses, use only hoses specifically designed for this purpose.
