Brittle hoses under Intake manifold

[Wikedjuggalo]

So, this all started when I wanted to replace the PCV valve for a variety of reasons. Removing the hose that goes off the top left side of the throttle body that goes under the black cover of PCV valve.

See Picture here

I had to remove the intake manifold at that rate, if it was so brittle it snapped off. That was fun, but I finally got it off and removed

See here
And Here

But back to why I posted this. What else should I replace while I have the intake manifold off? At this rate taking time to order parts and what not doesn't really matter, rather have it working right then rush and have to do this again.

Should I order the hoses from Subaru or replace them with regular vacuum lines? If you look closely in the picture you can see pretty much every hose has cracked.

I personally would get them from Subaru if possible.

I'd replace every inch of rubber hose under there. If you've never replaced knock sensors, now would probably be a good time to do that, too. There's no reason not to use generic cut-to-fit hose wherever you can.

Agreed.

And check that little valve that runs inline with the thin vacuum hose that runs to the black plastic tank you can see at the bottom of the photo of the manifold upside down. Make sure it's not cracked.

So far all the smaller lines I got from a local parts store. The bigger ones how ever, they did not have and I don't know if I feel comfortable using Heater hose but could. What is going to kill me is the part listed as "Valve assembly-duty solenoid" 16102AA020 which is what broke. Its listed at over 130 dollars. I will be calling about that tomorrow.

Did you break the nipples off?
