Help replacing vaccuum system

milanorama · 04-28-2009, 12:23 AM

I plan on redoing the vaccuum system in my car this spring due to oil EVERYWHERE in hoses. I think this is the reason my car runs so bad. What do I need to get to do this? As in sizes and types and amounts of hose and anything else I should replace other than the hoses and PCV valve...and any hints/diagrams/pics would be appreciated.

Replacing the vacuum hoses isn't going to remove the oil. The new hoses are just going to fill up with oil again. You need to address the root problem. Judging by the pic your car probably has 150k-200k on it. The engine parts that seal are probably pretty worn out. Rings, valve seals, etc. Replacing the PVC may provide a small amount of relief but I surmise your motor needs some work!
