MAN 88779150096 air hose

Description

This air hose is a vital component within an engine's air intake system, responsible for efficiently delivering clean air to the engine for optimal combustion. It's commonly used in MAN engines to connect the air filter to the turbocharger or intake manifold. The hose is designed to withstand high temperatures and pressures, ensuring reliable engine performance and longevity. This air hose has dimensions of 25 x 25 x 1000 mm and carries MPN 88779150096.

Key Features & Benefits

This hose basically carries air – pressurized air, to be specific – from your turbocharger or intercooler to the engine. It’s a pretty simple part, really, but it needs to be able to handle a lot of pressure and temperature changes without cracking or leaking. Sometimes these hoses have a few different sections, connecting different components in that air intake system. Think of it like this: your engine needs air to run, right? And when you’re talking about a turbocharged engine, that air gets squeezed, gets hotter, and needs to get to the engine efficiently. The air hose is the pathway for that compressed air. It’s part of the system that gets clean, pressurized air into the engine’s cylinders so it can make power. It connects the turbo or intercooler to the intake manifold, so it's a crucial link in getting air where it needs to go.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

If this hose fails, you’ll definitely notice. You’ll probably lose power – a noticeable drop in acceleration. You might hear a hissing sound, like air escaping, and maybe even get a check engine light. A cracked or leaking hose means the engine isn't getting the full amount of air it needs, so it can't run properly. It can also lead to dirt and debris getting sucked into the engine, which is bad news. They're usually made of reinforced rubber or silicone to handle the heat and pressure, but they do wear out over time. We carry a good selection of these at Fixparts Online, and it’s generally something a good DIYer can handle replacing, but if you’re not comfortable, it’s best to let a mechanic take a look.
