What is this hose called?

Post by slowpoloauto »

As you can see it plugs onto the air filter box and that bend is very soft and thin.
It's a short piece and I'm having trouble sourcing one.
Should I go further and replace all of it further on?

Sidenote:
I did find this disconnected from the airbox possibly after it made a suction sound.
This is the second time it's made that noise. It ran like a bag of poopoo until it cleared after the first time.

Thanks in advance.

Hi. That's a crankcase breather hose. It shouldn't matter if it's soft, as long as it's not leaking or clogged up or collapsing in on itself..

No idea if it is clogged but cannot find a replacement anywhere for it.

But if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

What a star. Looks about right.
I'll have to get in there at some point and have a proper look.
I found the part on Autodoc and may just order that as a precaution.
