eryque Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 When cleaning the throttle body I noticed that this hose was all cracked up. It's soft foam, not a traditional hose, so I'm wondering what it is and if I need to worry about it? '98 Impreza L 2.2L As always, thanks for helping out a newbie!

86BRATMAN Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 Not to worry, thats a foam wrap to keep the heater hose from rubbing on the support that is right there at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rooster2 Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 You may want to wrap that foamy covering over the heater hose with some electrical tape to keep the cracked foamy part from breaking off in chunks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even some friction tape would be better than nothing... that's what I used on my Forester, and it looks like it was supposed to be there in the first place.
