vacuum line replacement?

Hello all,

After taking care of my burst radiator hose and replacing the serpentine belt, the car ran great for about 50 miles, then it threw a 30ff fault code. I'm hoping it's just a vacuum leak- like maybe I bumped or pulled a vacuum line when was working on the hoses and belt. I figured I should change out all the lines while I'm in there.

It looks like the vacuum lines are 3.5mm ID and 10-12 feet should be plenty. Is this correct? What are you guys using for this?

Thanks!

I ordered the blue 5 meter 3.5x2mm silicone vacuum hose by CRP from FCPEuro.

I replaced all of my braided lines with new braided lines. I believe 3.5 was the size, and I ordered 3 meters. I think I have 2-3 feet leftover.
