Hydraulic hose to replace vacuum hose?

I just replaced the valve cover gasket and PVC valve and grommet on my Camry.
The second hose on the left hand side of the cover going to the intake manifold was cracked. I had some transmission hose the correct size, so replaced the cracked one to get the car mobile again.
Question: Is this hose type suitable for this application? Or will it degrade quickly or otherwise cause some complications? If so, I can get the correct hose next time I'm in town. I live in the bush (In the woods as you say in the US!).

Jim.

p.s. I was pleasantly surprised at how clean the internals of my engine looked! After 375,000 klms!

Hi Jim,

I moved this post to its own thread since the issue was not related to the thread you originally posted it in. This keeps the topic of each thread focused and relevant for future readers. Thanks for understanding.

Regarding the replacement hose, there should be no problem using hydraulic hose as a vacuum line since there is nothing to attack the hose rubber from the inside except for air. As long as the hose wall is thick enough or reinforced to keep from collapsing under vacuum you should be fine.
