Astra H VXR Sprint

Time to change the original hard plastic brake serve vacuum hose for an aftermarket one, mainly due to the fact that the original hose does not sit quite as well as it could do with the aftermarket high flow inlet manifold fitted. The replacement part is made up using reinforced servo hose with OE fittings.

So here are the required parts. A length of servo hose, an OE one-way valve and and OE fittings:

Brake Servo Vacuum Hose and Fittings

The aftermarket servo hose is strong, reinforced and more flexible and as it is cut as needed is can be routed slightly differently compared to the original hose. Once measured and cut as required the OE one way valve and elbows are fitted. The finished hose can then be routed out of the way behind the inlet manifold and plenum and across the bulkhead to the brake servo.
