Supercharger vacuum line help.
I was tooling around in my car and noticed that a very thin line coming from on top of the supercharger in the center about 1/8"of hard plastic is broken. Does anyone know what it is and where I can buy it? I tried to glue it but it was so britle it broke even more.it ends at the top front of the engine and has a 2 or 3 inch long black plug of some kind.thanks in advance.

Have a look here https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...arning-193275/
Am going to be proactive and was looking at your link for the vac lines. Is it just those two P/Ns C2P3419 and AJ801193? Thanks for posting.

Just pick a cool day, run back and forth a few times to the store, and replace the whole deal. It can prevent or fix idle issues, smells, leaks. It also is really cheap and critical routine maintenance. It's nice to leisurely replace them rather than have to get stuff in a pinch when you accidentally lean on one of these parts and break it.

Is it a Coolant line or Vacuum line?
A plain silicone hose will NOT work for vacuum, as once they get a bit warm and soft they can 'suck' themselves closed. I found that out the hard way, many years ago. Also not the greatest for coolant, as the high heat isn't silicone's best friend.
I broke both a vacuum line AND a coolant line the first time I took my oil filter cap off my 2010. The rubber hoses I clamped on have been there ever since.

So while we're add it, I've seen the pic in Cambo's post but as I don't have an S/C, I'm not sure what portion of that part is under the SC if not all of it. If it's only a line, could you not run hard aluminum or stainless brake line under the SC and attach the rubber bits in front and behind? Then you wouldn't need to pull the SC in the future.

Appreciate the heads up
