Replace Cracked Air Intake Hose on a 9th generation Honda Civic (2012 - 2015)

[@gmon290]

You by far have the best instructional video. Less talk and more showing on the HOW TO… step by step. Thanks for this tutorial! Because of you I was able to change my intake hose with ease.

[@gotitdone]

@@gmon290 thank you for your words and I am glad you did it. Did you clean the MAF as well? Please consider subscribing to my channel or a $thanks. It will help me on doing more videos like this. I am regularly fixing things around the house and adding videos about it.

I liked the lack of commentary and came on here to say KZbin needs more of this

[@gotitdone]

Thank you very much for your feedback. When I started, I asked myself what videos I like the most when trying to fix my car and they were the ones with no unnecessary music and less taking… right to the point. This is why I tried different styles and love these ones with no talking. Please consider subscribing to my channel or a $thanks. It will help me on doing more videos like this.

[@butterfury]

followed this, throttle body, map/maf sensor cleaning. my intake hose was torn in two places, one towards back couldnt be patched with duct tape. car doesnt hesitate anymore, smooth acceleration. i stripped a maf sensor screw but was able to just clean it attached.

[@gotitdone]

That is awesome to hear! Great feeling when you can fix your own things. Have you replaced the PCV? It should be done every 60k miles. Very easy.

@@gotitdone next on my list

[@butterfury]

@@gotitdone seems like at least for 2015 civic, removing maf sensor after pulling out the air cleaner box is much much easier.

[@gotitdone]

@@butterfury I did one 2015 this weekend and I felt it like the same process. My case was that the ATF plug was out for a while and fluid was all over, so I had to clean all the area. I had to remove the battery and air box to have good access. And of course I cleaned the MAF. This is what happened. Have you seen this video? kzbin.info/www/bejne/rGLWgJWjqMxlp6M

[@derekmcwhirter9336]

What is the size of the socket you used for the original clamp?

[@gotitdone]

Sorry for the delay, I thought I answered this one. My bad for not showing it in the video. I have just checked my tools and I think I used a 7/32 socket.

[@bdizzle52o]

Just saw Mine ripped in the same spot as yours. I have to take the whole intake box out to replace it? Fml

[@gotitdone]

@@bdizzle52o and you might not be seeing cracks on the back. But yes, you have to take the thing apart. Otherwise you will make it more complicated than it is. Taking the intake box out is easier than you think. Have faith on you .. 😂 Since you are there clean the MAF too. Check my video about it. Please consider subscribing to my channel or a $thanks.

[@jeddrickpablico7352]

So how has it been? It looks like it's not oem. Just wondering if oem vs aftermarket for this specific part make any difference.

[@gotitdone]

@@jeddrickpablico7352 it had been perfectly fine. As long as the air is confined within it and it doesn’t crack you should be fine. When I do the maintenance on my car, I also apply a little of AT-205 to all the rubber parts to keep them elastic. Please consider subscribing to my channel or a $thanks.

[@ChrisD-lz5oh]

Thanks. Question, why disconnect battery? Is it a must?

[@gotitdone]

@@ChrisD-lz5oh good question. I remembered I disconnected the battery because in this job I was also cleaning the throttle body and cleaning the MAF sensor, which makes sense if you are going to bother on removing the air box.

[@ChrisD-lz5oh]

@gotitdone ok thanks. Did you take the throttle out? or just spray inside? Maybe you cleaned it with a friend pushing the pedal down, or you used a flat head?

[@simonl3788]

Do u have any tips on getting the air intake hose to fit snug onto the engine air filter box when putting everything back? Im having a hard time getting the intake hose to fit flush onto filter box

[@gotitdone]

@@simonl3788 make sure you unscrew the metal bracket far enough so it doesn’t apply any pressure at all. It happened to me that I thought it was loose enough but I couldn’t push it all when I realize it was still tight. In addition, you can put a very thin layer of silicone paste to help you slide it in. Please consider subscribing to my channel or a $thanks. It will help me on doing more videos like this.

[@simonl3788]

⁠@@gotitdonei did unscrew the bracket loosely but ill make sure to buy some silicone paste i used some bedroom lube cause its all i had but i dont think its working 😂

[@gotitdone]

@@simonl3788 try this… remove the metal bracket altogether. Now try to see if it fits. If it doesn’t then it is the wrong size

[@simonl3788]

@@gotitdonethank you, also do u know if Permatex O ring Lubricant would work in substitution of silicone paste? My local autozone does not have an industrial silicone lubricant

[@gotitdone]

@@simonl3788 it should. You just need a very small amount to make it slippery

[@kinkinmyslinky967]

Replaced one in my daughters car today. Thanks for the video!

[@Damiann209]

My 2014 Honda Civic has bucking and I've seen videos saying this is the problem can I use duck tape for the time being till I get paid ??

[@gotitdone]

@@Damiann209 yeah, but it won’t be a tight sealing because of all the grooves. And there might be cracks that you are not seeing. Please consider subscribing to my channel or a $thanks.

What socket did you use to remove the bolt that connects the air intake hose to the air intake box. The smallest I have is 8mm and even then that was too big

going to do this for a coworker this week, using oe intake hose

[@gotitdone]

Good luck and let me know how it goes. Shouldn’t be that hard but you never know what you could find 😂

[@timdao3456]

Thanks for the video! am having a hard time removing the maf sensor plug. Do you have to press the center of the plug then pull it out or just pulling it out? Any special tools required?

[@gotitdone]

No special tools. You do have to press the center and while keeping it pressed you pull the whole plug out.

[@gotitdone]

Check this video that has the exact same connector and you can see clearly how to disconnect it kzbin.info/www/bejne/hqatdnuZpthlra8si=a_3fk4O7hCW97JfN

Please let me know how did you do or if you need more help. I can record a quick short video if you need it

Is it necessary to put silicon paste at the back of the Air box?

All great except exposed battery terminals. I always keep few plastic terminal caps in my tool box, because having bunch of sparks or car fire is not fun

That is a great tip. Thank you very much! I will do that from now on. I do have a pair of those caps.
