Need a part number..

Post by Reck »

316 1.8 1981 M10 Carb

The corrugated black plastic pipe that recycles warm air from the manifold back into the airbox. Mines all shredded and the local motor factors only sell metal ones which keep splitting. Couldn't find it on the realoem diagrams, does anyone know the part number?

Thanks!

mine was fitted with a corrugated metal, i dont think u want a plastic rubber type, maybe the one from the motor factor keeps on splitting cos your buying one that is too short n stretching it?

I dunno, the plastic one had rubber on each end which formed a tighter seal than the metal ones and seemed a bit 'tougher'. The metal one dents/rips if you just knock it. I'm pretty sure the plastic one was how it came out of the factory.

To be fair this motor factor only supplies Shite™ so if I can find a metal one that is up to the job I'd gladly take it. :)
