These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

11 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Is it possible just to replace valve and not entire purge line 996-110-129-06. With something like Bosch 0280142308, Amazon.com: Bosch 0280142308 Purge Valve: Automotive

POST 2Original post

This is great question. If it does work you can save a lot of money.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Based on this post's pictures Starts, Fires Up, Dies... - Page 5 - Pelican Parts Technical BBS I'm guessing I'm right

POST 5Original post

Awesome news. I am bookmarking that link for future use. Thanks for confirming it works

POST 6Original post

Quotes source post: 499687

Do tell! What did you use to connect the new valve to the hard plastic line?

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Barbed union for 3/8 nylon fuel line, 5/16 rubber fuel line piece. Apparently you need to remove purge valve assembly before (I managed to do without intake unbolting). Next time the valve can be replaced much faster. I have clamps from both ends.

POST 8Original post

Thank you! I haven't had a problem with the valve to date but this is certainly good info for future reference.

POST 9Original post

FTP: you wrote that you installed (5/16 or 3/8..?) rubber fuel line. Please note that you MUST use the appropriate " Metric sized Fuel Injected Rated " fuel hose, otherwise the SAE sized fuel hose will eventually fail and you will end with a high fire hazard I am not sure the diameter but on the Alfa Romeo & Fiat (Bosch FI) the fuel hose is a 7.5mm diameter

POST 10 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

3/8 and 10mm (9(9.5?)mm inner) nylon fuel line is almos the same. your choice. i simply used overcounter napa parts. 5/16 just snags better. this is not fuel, this is fuel vapor and very thin (50 psi fuel injection? c'mon, we are talking vacuum here). i doubt it has any hazzard or it will detoriorate rapidly. it is mostly fresh air. sure thing "metric" is better but with clamps it's no different imho

POST 11Original post

I am sorry, assumed you were using it for fuel like someone has done it with cathastrophic results..

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
