    I am leaning towards a bit of silicon to fill the hole, but i might try it out first with a bull clip.

    Any idea if it results in better or worse fuel economy or no change?
    i just pulled the damn hose out of the vacuum and left it LOL

    haven't had a problem with it since!!

    no need to take it apart and all that.

        I've got to drive out the Gawler tonight, i'll be removing the vacuum hose before i leave.

        I must admit though that i kind of like the fact that at low revs the she doesn't scream too loud. Problem is i like the sound so much that i look for revs to get my kicks.

        Removing the hose may save me a lot of $ on fuel i think.

          trust me, once you do it, you will think to youself why you didnt do it earlier!!!

          even when you first start the car in the morning, its got this crazy burble to it!!!

            Pull hose, push a small sinker or bearing in it, slide back onto valve... OR
            do as I did, cut hose under left rear side, put inline joiner in hose that has been filled. Makes easy to put back by replacing joiner with unfilled one if you need to.
            Did it this way as some hoses are hard to get off valve.
