Hiya,

I've read other posts about this pipe and looked at photos but i'm still not sure it's the right one, hopefully someone can help me

To access the pipe that has the split you need to undo the bolts and lift up the big black box.

The pipe is right at the back and prevents the box from being removed (as well as the rubber grommet holding the box on).

I haven't smelt any fuel or oil in the car so has got me wondering if it is the breather pipe, or something else?

I will photo if necessary but that means i have to undo and pull the box up again (grrrr lol).

Howdy.

How come you're wanting to replace it if there's no cause to make you think it's at fault?

theres a split in it.

How do you know if you don't even know what pipe you're looking for?

She has probably seen the split in a hose and doesn't know which one it is


give me half an hour

Yes

Thankyou

hope this helps






would have been faster but the upload took ages

yup that's the hose!! yippee!

thanks so much for your help, now i can order one and have fun changing it lol!!

Not a problem Alison


you will need a pair of hose clips which can be had from most car places and tool shops trade name is Jublie clips for some that will close to 20mm


the standard pipe measures

15mm internal diameter

20mm external diameter


a cheaper alternative if you have a local hose supplier or motorfactors would be to get 30cm of oil resistant hose in or close to the above eg 16mm would do and make your own
