    I was looking at fuel line photos that '85QV Euro' was nice enough to share with me, and I noticed this hose that runs to the cold start injector. The manual shows it connecting to the AAV, but on the euro cars (like this photo, and like my car) it connects to a metal 'elbow' fitting. Anyone know where to get this hose? The parts manual shows it as number 115226 and while it might be correct diameter for an AAV I'm weary about ordering it and having it not fit the metal 'elbow'. Thanks

    According to the factory books (using several sources) It goes from the air fitting at the cold start valve to the auxiliary air valve. That would be functionally correct and the hose pictured is the same unusual shape as yours. It is no longer available.
    Does your car even have an auxiliary air valve?
    In similar situations I have had to make hoses.

    I think the SPC does (confusingly) show that 115226 is the right hose for your car (even though you can't buy one ;)). In the euro 308QV SPC, they show two different configurations sort of mixed together -- one where the AAV is mounted on top of the engine, and the other where the AAV is mounted under the coolant expansion tank. If you look in the SPC figure:

    https://www.ferrariparts.co.uk/diagram/ferrari/308-quattrovalvole/010-fuel-injection-system-fuel-distributors--lines

    you can see the metal elbow, item 73, in the upper left figure detail, and the notes say that this was introduced at 44159 (GS/LHD) and 43961 (GD/RHD), and this would use the AAV, item 30, shown mounted under the coolant expansion tank; whereas, lower SN chassis would have the AAV, item 30, shown mounted on top of the engine (and use the tube, item 34). Since the hose connected to the metal elbow 73 going to the cold start injector fitting is shown in phantom and does not have a different item number nor a different part number = it's still the 115226 hose.

    Ferrari does this in many places in the SPCs where not everything shown in every SPC figure is used on every car = it's terrible!

    Thank you very much Steve and Brian! I thought I feel a little better that I couldn't find the hose. I have an AAV under the coolant tank (I have car number 56059). I have the old hose and will probably just take it over to O'Rileys / NAPA and see if I can match something up. If successful, I'll post part number / source in case helpful to others now or in the future. Thanks again!
