My compliments for producing a well thought out and well edited video. You obviously practiced prior to recording or are very experienced in that regard. So many UA-cam help videos have running commentary that is completely unrelated or are the ramblings of an inexperienced individual with little self-awareness. Thank you for providing this. It was exactly what I needed to repair my son's Honda.
@@pc6907 it took me about 2 hours, but this was the first time i’ve ever replaced anything that’s not a lightbulb on a car. the only issue i had was prying off the old pieces from the old hose. they were really stuck in there.
My cousin was replacing the air filter on my mothers car, and her vehicle started to stall. I am going to need to replace the intake hose on her vehicle because she has the same break. As very temporary fix until I get the parts I need, I re-taped electrical tape around the hose (somehow whenever the hose was initially broken it was already taped so I re-taped it). Very straight forward to the point video, so kudo's to you kind sir. Thanks for your time, and information.
Thanks got my hose replaced in 30 min and air filter. I noticed you disconnected the first connector and my intake hose doesn’t have one. Is that the air temp sensor?
Your video is very thorough. I appreciate that you didn’t assume or skip steps that a rookie like me might need to see. One thing though, you didn’t replace the spring clamp on the air box side. Was it difficult to get back on? Oh well, I need to replace that hose so I’ll know the answer soon enough. Wish me luck. 🤞🏽
Exactly, I just did mine and i think its best to put the spring clamp on the air tube before sliding it over the air filter housing. I actually replaced the clamp on the throttle body with a standard clamp. The tube pretty much holds itself on the air filter box but im looking for a upgraded version.
03:25 My car has exactly that round metallic clamp right there; it's possible to remove it, without having to remove the whole air filter box?? And actually, I can see you did not put it back into the new hose?
As for the spring, what you do is... drive by a Honda dealership and throw it at the building. Then you go to a Harbor Freight or hardware store and buy a 3 1/2 in diameter hose clamp (HF has a 20 piece assorted box for cheap) and it fits in that groove perfectly, as if it were made for it! You're welcome lol
"I have a 2006 Accord LX 2.0 (K20) (Made in Mexico), and I bought this hose to replace it. However, the hose code on my car is RAC, and the hose I purchased has the code RAA and is shorter than the other one (6cm). I've searched everywhere and can't find it. I see that what you installed is RAA. On all the websites I've checked, they say it's the same hose, but upon comparison, I can see that they are different."
Here are two videos we've done in the past for an oil pan gasket and oil pressure sensor. I'll make a note to upload specifically for the TL shortly. Nonetheless, these will help you: ua-cam.com/video/AjlEDR6FyOE/v-deo.html and ua-cam.com/video/y80MbudisX0/v-deo.html
I was able to get that spring back on .. I just brute forced it connecting the two ends around the groove on the end of the tube using both hands .. gotta have a bit of grip strength to do it but it can be done
@@AK-us5rw only thing I can think of is to connect the two ends and then try to reverse roll it back on carefully by stretching .. of course while the tube is out of the car .. or get someone with some grip strength to do it .. it can be done, I did it
The part I bought on Amazon is rubber, malleable like yours, not stiff/plastic like the OEM, only $18. Is it worth keeping? The hole for the air intake sensor is closed, needs to be punched opened. Was going to drop it off at Kohls to return . . .
Your video is replacing an already aftermarket air tube. The factory one is installed with normal hose clamps on each end. The Dorman tube is sold with the stretch clamp that is an absolute nightmare. Also, the factory vacuum line is very difficult to remove, unlike the aftermarket one you replaced.
@@arthurbrown4244 Any vacuum leak will make you engine run badly. If this is a serious question, as long as it is sealed properly it will run fine. Buddy replaced it with the new intake hose as soon as it arrived. You do want to make sure that junk didn't clog the screen for the MAF. Personally I would clean the MAF sensor, screen and air filter (possibly replace that too) while I'm in there.
Personally I would not disconnect the battery if you have a check engine light on. Reason being, if you do it will clear the code and turn your check engine light off and if you had another leak somewhere else it would give you a false sense of security that you fixed the issue. But, when it comes to electronics the safest bet is always to disconnect the battery, I just personally wouldn't worry about it on this because you aren't dealing with any parts that have voltage unless the engine is running.
@@CarsNToys how do you get that spring back on? Did everything else but that spring is too hard to get the ends to meet and putting it on before hand feels impossible too(I don’t want to take everything off again to do it that way. Help!

very thorough. What a lot of people slack on is showing specifics. VERY GOOD.
i successfully changed the air intake hose on my 2003 honda accord today thanks to this video - thank you so much!!!!
Excellent!
I need to replace mine too, same model and year car. Did you run into any complications? How much time did it take?

did you end up put back the spring clamp thing?
@@WingJai1119 Yes, I struggled a bit but was indeed able to get it back on.
what is the tool to put back the spring around the hose?
Exactly, I just did mine and i think its best to put the spring clamp on the air tube before sliding it over the air filter housing. I actually replaced the clamp on the throttle body with a standard clamp. The tube pretty much holds itself on the air filter box but im looking for a upgraded version.
Awesome! I was able to do it on my 2006 Accord
Thanks for your time and tips! Very helpful my good sir!!!
Very nice Video . Thank you for taking your time to make the Video
For the spring clamp to the airbox, I tried stretching the springs a little before trying to put it on and it was a little easier to brute force it
Appreciate the feedback!
@@CarsNToyshow did you get your spring clamp back on?

On 7:34 you reconnect the vacuum line. What's the grommet that goes there called? Im having a hard time finding the name online
Just successfully replaced mine today... minus the damn spring clamp... any tips?
Did you intentionally leave the clamp spring off?
"I have a 2006 Accord LX 2.0 (K20) (Made in Mexico), and I bought this hose to replace it.

So it didn’t need the spring connector around the bigger part of the hose? 7:14
Have the exact same vehicle and did this repair last month....another great video
Thank you.
Was it a success
@@howtobecomerich4498 it was.... Just follow the video. Very simple repair.
Cool man.
Jst give our man a like. I love his work.
He teches mi much more than he knows
After changing air intake pipe, i am having rev issues sometimes,
I have no maf sensor on airfilter box just like you i have MAP sensor.
Can you show how to replace the oil pressure sensor and oil pan on a Acura TL

What about the upper spring???
Is vacuum leak can cause more gasoil consumption?
so what can happen to the car if you don't change this tube besides engine codes?
Suck in debris if you have a massive hole like this one
The part I bought on Amazon is rubber, malleable like yours, not stiff/plastic like the OEM, only $18. Is it worth keeping? The hole for the air intake sensor is closed, needs to be punched opened. Was going to drop it off at Kohls to return . . .
This is exactly what happens to me. The temperature sensor hole is CLOSED, so you say that it's possible to punch it open? How did you do it? Thanks.
1:52 what is this connected to? It's can off and I want to replace it
Does this hose affect the air conditioner?
where is the maf sensor located?
What's that part at 6:05?
The part you reconnect after the vacuum line
Just discovered the mechanics forgot to attach it in the last service.

Is the hose the same size for the 3.0 V6?
nice job ty
I love what you do.
Thank you! I appreciate the feedback.
Good stuff bud
Thanks for the visit
How long can I drive with a nice big crack in mine
Did you install the spring?
Will the check engine light go off just by replacing the intake hose?
It's possible.
My buddy just taped the crack in his until the intake hose comes in and just taping it turned off his engine light.
@@inultus1 does that crack also make it run with less power?

Hi, do I have to disconnect batteries before I start?
Yes, always a good idea. Cheers.
@@CarsNToys thanks man

Happy to help.
Broke mines today replacing the air filter at first my heart went to my ass then I found out I can do it myself I felt better loo
How did you puncture the hole for the air intake sensor?
Drill
To everyone doing this. you might as well clean the throttle body with the intake off. Its alrdy exposed and takes 2-3 minutes.
True. Which product you use to clean it?
@@franciscopeirat8395 Throttle body cleaner
you never put that clamp next to the air filter box back on. :)
Good eye! The end of the clamp was distorted so I opted for a new one.
@@CarsNToys how do you get that spring back on? Did everything else but that spring is too hard to get the ends to meet and putting it on before hand feels impossible too(I don’t want to take everything off again to do it that way. Help!
@@AK-us5rw This was the only thing I wanted to know and he didn't show it and ignored most of the previous questions about it.
