Intake coolant hoses ?

[kjphilippona]

I am for sure these are not oem, because of the big kinks in them both, this has to restrict the flow of coolant to and from this unit. Does anyone know what it is so that i can get the correct hoses ?

Those go to your thermal vacuum valve, which supplies vacuum to the EGR system when the engine warms up. (The small coolant lines are to sense the temperature.)

I have generic hoses on my own car -- with the kinks too. It's a really hard area to work in, so I was happy just getting my leaky little lines replaced. I'll be doing my injectors very soon, so I'll have another shot at these little coolant lines. My plan is to make little 90 deg bend hoses by inserting copper tubing inside them.
