AIV tube
I noticed that I have a decent exhaust leak yesterday and decided to take my day off to find out where it was coming from. Well I found a huge crack right under my AIV. Its in the tube that runs from the AIV around the motor and into the intake. My question to you is can I still purchase this tube from a dealer or am I going have to try and get mine welded up.TIA

or you could just get one from someone on the forum... im sure there are many people that just have them lying around.... but petes idea seems easiest and would most likely be free... just watch out for what type of vacum hose you use... id stay away from heater hose and go with emissions grade stuff.
i had to get one from the dealer recently,, i tried to explain to what i needed in the WTB area and couldnt get the right part... it was like 40 new,, in your case, id get 2 clamps and some silicone hose to fix the gap...
The tube that runs from the AIV to the intake is rubber. You shouldnt have any exhaust gases in that.reds13 said:I noticed that I have a decent exhaust leak yesterday and decided to take my day off to find out where it was coming from.

The beginning of the tube is rubber, about 3 inches worth, the rest is metal... I know, I double checked on my car. Definitely not all rubber.
Sounds like cutting a section out and using a rubber connector is the least expensive and best way to go.

Its my bad anyways. It wasn't the AIV tube. Blah I messed up my abbreviations. It was the EGR tube and I have already fixed it with some ******* weld (JB).
