All required parts for the "self-designed" "100-hose" are on their way. Fingers crossed it will all fit  :-\  We'll know in 2-3 weeks (shipping takes so long  :'(  )

First part has arrived - the 3-way hose splitter! One down - many to go !

That hose almost drove me crazy! We'll see, I'm not at the goal line yet.

I will post a pic with specs when the hose is complete.

I have been working on a "custom design" for the "100-hose". It took me 5 weeks and a few attempts.

The challenge is space constraints on top of the air intake and parts delivery time.

I believe this solution will work (see pic). Final assembly tomorrow. Knock on wood.

I need the car for a road trip in a week from now, hence the design of the lower left part of the hose is preliminary (marked with the red rectangle). I will replace that section with one piece oil-resistant silicone hose, custom made (see drawing), in a few weeks time. That means $$$, but it was very hard to find a suitable solution given the space constraints and required reduction. In the end I decided to pay $$$ to get the car on the road.

Tomorrow is the day ....

It worked - the self-made "100-hose" was installed yesterday, finally. Fired up the engine today. All fairly good, but idle is still high (900 rpm when warm). I guess it's a vacuum leak, somewhere.

Summary of what I have done last 6 months:
- replaced thermostat
- replaced engine coolant temp sensor
- cleaned idling house
- replaced all rubber boots and vacuum hoses around idling house and WUR
- replaced "100-hose"
- cleaned and tested aux air valve
- new injectors incl. rubber seals

The plan is to do a smoke test .... I assume there are some leaks under the air intake.

The chase for leaks continues, but first a road-trip in a weeks time.
