FCP Euro Service Kits

FCP Euro Kits

As these cars get older, the rubber bits and pieces under the hood tend to get soft, crack, or in extreme cases rupture. It's a good idea to keep your car running well with good condition hoses and vacuum lines.

The Venair intercooler silicone hose kit from FCP is a nice addition. These silicone components will perform better than the factory hoses, and installation is straightforward.

Simply remove the old hoses, and install the Venair parts in the same manner. You may use the factory hose clamps if they're in good condition, or you can get aftermarket T-bolt clamp. These are designed to mount in the same way the factory parts fit, so no further modifications are necessary.

The fit is a little tight on some of the hoses, but all were able to be installed with about an hour of time from start to finish. Working on a cold engine helps a lot, and a light coat of silicone grease, petroleum jelly, or even spit will ease the hoses into place.

The end result is a nice OEM looking hose set, and now there's no more vacuum leaks!
