Per the FAQ, the following vacumm ID hose are necessary for the B230FT motor:

Hose Inner Diameter for B230FT Turbo
4.2mm (Volvo p/n 976734) - 134 inches
6.6mm (Volvo p/n 976736) - 26 inches
3/8inch (for brake booster) - 12 inches

I called the local Volvo dealer and they will only sell per yard.

I called FCP Groton and they told me they have braided vacuum hose in the following ID diameter:

5mm,
7mm,
and one just uder 1/2"

1. Would FCP hose fit ok. They are larger, but not much. I believe the 7mm and the just under 1/2" are good substitute for the 6.6mm and 3/8 respectively. I am mainly worried about the .8mm between the 4.2mm and the 5mm. Your opinion is requested.

2. Would you use FCP hose yourself, or would you buy from Volvo dealer? Your opinion is requested.

3. Does any body have a detail listing of all the vacuum hose on a B320FT motor?

I thank you advance for your assistance.
