I usually just use heater hose myself, just take the hard plastic part
do a parts store a get a piece that fits snug over it. The noise is
really very little noticable.

I will try the foam stuff, but if that's the only thing I doubt I'd even
worry about it. My 300D isn't exactly quiet with the exhaust missing
between the downturn after the turbo and the connection at the tranny!

you can use a piece of heater hose, but it will transmit blower motor
noise thru the dash. Go to a plumbing supply place, or maybe lowes, and
get some of that foam tubing stuff.

So, I finally got behind the glovebox to look for this infamous foam
tube
for the dash sensor on my 83' 300D, that if suitably replaced will
supposedly give me a system that does something other than "I want it
hot!"
or "I want it cold!".
Sure enough there was a hunk of gunky, sticky foam stuff between a
couple
lengths of seemingly regular rubber and/or plastic hose.
It was suggested that a piece of belled hose such as that from the
radiator
reservoir makes a good replacement. I don't have a junk car to use and
I
haven't made it to the FLAPS to see if they have a nice cheap
replacement so
i was wondering what my other options might be.
If the idea is simply to get some flow, but not full flow air through,
how
appropriately sized does the belled hose need to be?
Could I just use one larger piece of hose over top of the smaller? I.e.
the
I.D. of one hose matches the O.D. of the other.
Could I simpy get a regular piece of hose and put some holes in it?
As for explanation of the system, is it basially just trying to get some
low
flow of air over the sensor by pulling from the blower motor?
Is it also sampling outside air? I found a broken hose that seems to be
heading out the side of the car right in front of the passenger door and
the
other end seems to come from near where the air temp sensor is. I think
I've mostly got it sealed up now with some electrical tape.
Thanks!
Levi
