Egr flex tube
EGR FLEX TUBE QUESTIONS:
the A3 egr flex tube which runs between the intake stack and the exhaust stack,
is weathered to death on my A3.... it's shredded beyond repair.
anybody know where to get that type of spiral wire reinforced heat resistant canvas tube from ?
and while we're on the subject, has anyone noticed any engine performance differences with the egr tube removed from their A3 ?
oh how i hate useless emissions control additions !!!!
i haven't registered my A3 yet, but it will require an initial smog check, according to the dmv, because it is an out of state vehicle. the visual inspection requires all smog control parts to be in place. after passing the initial inspection, it will be smog exempt, because it is a diesel made before 1998. california is full of useless laws like this...
if i can't find that tubing, i'm thinking heat resistant tape by 3m, spiraled around the tube will look just about original, and function the same.
