I bought a VH45DE engine in pieces and these are the hoses I've found so far that need to be replaced. I need to order replacements but I have to find out what they are first. Not the best picture in the world. Can get detailed pictures on any of them. Thanks!
What hoses are these?

Re: What hoses are these? (tmorgan4)
man i feel like a loser for knowing exactly which hose is and where it goes. I need to get a freakin life.
the top big hose the the hose that goes into the the thermostat housing from the lower radiator hose.
the middle left is one of the hoses that hooks onto the PCV valve.. I cant say for sure which one since theres like 3 that are identical. The pcv valve screws into the coolant filler neck.
the middle right one im not 100% sure about, its either the L shaped vacuum hose thats behind the throttle body on the plenum. its a PCV hose that takes vacuum to the passenger side valve cover, hooking the plenum to a pipe that goes under the plenum to the RH VC. If its not that, its a coolant hose on the drivers side TB area..
The bottom hose is one of the low pressure hoses for the PS system, in other words one of the hoses that goes from the fluid res. to the PS pump.

Your good Wes. I could figure out 3 of them but one had me stumped.
Re: What hoses are these? (elwesso)
Thank you Wes! Exactly what I needed to hear.
BTW, just checking to see if you got my email. No biggie if you've been busy and don't have time to respond, I know the feeling. Just checking since I've been having some serious issues with my email lately. Maybe mine never even got sent...who knows.

Wes after reading your intake plenum removal article I realized just how many hoses I am missing. I should really order just about every damn hose on the engine.
Re: What hoses are these? (tmorgan4)
well you should, for many reasons! Last thing you want is one you cant reach leaking. It is a bit expensive but could save you tons of hours looking for a leaky hose
Wes, you beat me to them!
Wes, you beat me to them!

agreed. And I did get your email, however Ive been swamped (if you couldnt tell, ive hardly been on the forum). I am pretty sure my cad guy finished the plate yesterday so I need to double check that and I'll update today.tmorgan4 wrote:Wes after reading your intake plenum removal article I realized just how many hoses I am missing.

Joe has a specialty kit put together called"the ultimate underplenum"kit-suppose to have every hose there is plus knockers and harness-I am waiting for mine to arrive friday,hopefully it is as complete as they advertise,as I am taking the trip to t3 at the end of the month for a q rehab! Might as well just order one for your q,and be done with the plenum job!
