So I replaced the intake manifold actuator arms with Gruven parts thanks to suggestions in my other thread. They work great, but after a week of driving it the actuators are no longer being moved into the correct position at idle. They still move freely, and if I manually move the bottom one then they both kick in.
I'm pretty sure I have a vacuum leak (the lines look horrible), and I'm hoping the bottom vacuum pot doesn't need replacing.
Should I just use Autozone or NAPA vacuum hoses or get the VW specifically shaped ones? Also if I do need a new vacuum pod, where can I find one? I assume the one from VW only comes in $400 a kit?
I read about using a bicycle tube patch as a quick fix if the pod is the issue. Has anyone bought the repair kit in the past for other issies and have an extra vacuum pod lying around that they'd be interested in selling? Lol
