Title: Is this an Oil Breather?
Post by: J-man on 10 January 2005, 23:17

Can you guys help. I have a hole in one one of the rubber hoses attached to the engine and need to get a new one. The problem is I don't know what hose it is. I was at the dealer trying to get them to ID the hose but I didn't have the car with me to show them and the diagrams they were showing me were not of the correct thing. Since I have to special order this part I want to be sure Im ordering the correct thing.
I think its an Oil breather hose coming off the crankshaft but im not sure.
Any help would be great. See pictures below
Cheers
