2000 V70 SE 213K

Some of the engine compartment vacuum lines are decaying and becoming brittle, such as the one shown. Is there a source for obtaining the original vacuum line (with yellow stripe)?

Trying to keep engine compartment with its original appearance and function, as much as possible. (maybe is this a carry over from my vintage car and bike restoration habits, keeping things "original"!).

Thanks,

I am afraid you are going to be out of luck. Perhaps a yellow sharpie to draw your own line? That looks like the one from the boost controller.

The colors are only for factory installers, not service parts.

"The colors are only for factory installers, not service parts."

That's a good explanation. I am familiar with the concept: For example vintage Mustang concours restorers go to great lengths to replicate factory paint markings, stamps, dabs, swaths that assembly line installers used to distinguish part applications.

This V70 is a n/a SE w/B5244S motor. The vacuum line runs from the intake manifold through a module, then passes down under the engine. Maybe a transmission control function? The line shown is the replacement hose, a little fatter than original and all black. The braided line next to it, smaller diameter with a yellow stripe too, is also brittle and must be replaced soon.

Thanks again,
