hippynerd Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 Yes, and no. There should be a diagram under your hood for the vac lines. You can get by with only a couple lines hooked up (and the rest blocked off, vac leaks can be an issue). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph_tsi Posted June 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 What about the coolant lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadrab Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 (edited) Coolant lines are not terribly difficult either, there's just a pile of 'em. If you haven't already, download the appropriate service manual for your car and go to the cooling section. They're all there. Just go one page at a time until you're done. Break it up into sections if it makes you feel better - i.e. intake side first, exhaust side, radiator. Some of the ones in the back are a true PITA to get to (at least on a truck), but they'll come together with some fiddling. There are several that are bent (molded) hoses. Get them from your dealer or parts house. There's one that I had to have a kid at O'Reilly's match up for me, but he did a helluva job and it fit perfectly. When I first did it - Starquest engine in a Montero - I stressed like an SOB until I followed the above advice given me by a wise soul from this site (or it's forerunner). It ain't hard, it's just a little tedious. Edited June 1, 2012 by dadrab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
