What hose for 300tdi turbo actuator pipe

[towe0609]

I commenced a job to replace the exhaust manifold gasket only to find the oil was actually coming from a split turbo actuator pipe (RTC5099).

It's the pipe shown here

Mine was in a similar condition to that shown in the video.

What is the best material/size hose to replace this with?

I grabbed some 6.3mm ID fuel hose from supercrap and threw that on for now. It slipped on very easily - suggesting I need something with a slightly smaller ID - but it was the smallest available locally and I have no idea if fuel hose is appropriate for this purpose.

Hey mate, I work at Pirtek in Gippsland and we sell vacuum hose. It’s a little bit thicker but works a treat. When I rebuilt my turbo I installed new actuator lines and used that. Most Pirtek stores should sell it. Just take a sample of the old hose and they’ll match it size for size 👍🏼
