Some vehicles are equipped with a secondary air injection system, which supplies additional air to the exhaust system from an air pump. This reduces emissions and improves fuel efficiency. If the air supply hose is leaking due to cracks, broken materials, or gaps in the connections, fresh air flow is restricted, resulting in carbon deposits in the combustion chamber and an increase in unburned fuel. When your car emits black smoke, it could be due to a bad air supply hose.
There are two types of air pump hoses: PVC and rubber. Each of them has its own advantages and disadvantages. Some vehicles require a molded PVC hose, and some allow you to choose any of them.
How to make sure you get a good quality air supply hose:
Consider WarrantyA: PVC hoses tend to have a better warranty, but are more vulnerable to heat damage that can lead to leaks.
Consider how it will be used: When driving off-road and rough terrain, the rubber hose may move more easily than the PVC hose.
Use reliable namesA: Spare parts can be high quality, just make sure you research them and don't automatically choose the cheapest hose. Price generally reflects the durability of automotive parts.
