I just looked at PET, got correct size of sleeve, made conversion to inches, then ordered silicone sleeves. I don't remember if I got 3.75", or 4" sleeves. Maybe $5-7 bucks each.

Which is the one you need, the round bigger one or the oval/smaller one? I ordered the smaller/oval one for the flappers and that thing was very expensive it came a long tube, probably for 8-10 pairs to be replaced.

I think every car has torn ones. They're insanely expensive from Porsche.

Yes that is the one I ordered/have, expensive hose!!! I got a long hose, like I said, maybe for a 6-8 cars to replace since those are short lenght. Does someone want it?

I end up going to Napa Auto Parts and just ordered some silicone hose from them. It was much thicker and better quality then the OEM. totally happy with this purchase rather than going with OEM and wasting money.

Although I do need new hose clamps for the oval silicone goes. Those hoses are good, but I need better clamps. One of them broke. And I don't think the thicker American style hose clamps will work.

Sid, sorry I'm not sure which one. I just got the diameter of the factory sleeve, and ordered the appropriate size. I'll see if I can locate the order info.
It may even be 3", I cannot find the invoice, and looked at PET. It shows 72 or 80mm. So it's closer to 3" diameter.

Thanks Richard. Guess I coulda crawled under the car and checked, but it is easier to sit on my butt and ask. Nice work on the tubes.

just go on PET, look up the sizes and convert to inches. No need to get up.
