Pesky vacuum lines- a common and frustrating issue to resolve for some of us.
So what is the best source for replacement vacuum line? Hopefully there is a more durable and flexible modern material available?
I have been using 3mm silicone tube as a repair sleeve over broken OEM line but I am realizing is a foolish short term hack. Modern flexible silicone vac line is very easy to work with but I am concerned that nobody has mentioned substituting it on our engines for the brittle,stiff OEM material.There must be a reason???
The larger diameter silicone hose is useless for high vacuum because it softens and collapses when hot. But the tiny 3mm is much stiffer. Any experiences to share/ Thanks.

The pump is in the engine compartment, left side.
You will find some good troubleshooting information on P0492 here: http://www.renntech.org/forums/topic...jection-codes/
