not on me mate - have at home.

I want to replace the 2 rubber tubes that go into that plastic black box on the top of the Rocker cover - are these oil breather pipes?

Also heard that the vacuum hose can whistle if split and cause the stalling prob - I may as well replace this for peace of mind. Dunno where abouts this is, but got me haynes manual coming soon!! lol

cheers

Vacuum hose is generic.  I bought 3m of silicon hose from e-bay (samco apparantly, but you never know lol), and replaced 4 pieces of piping in the engine.  The long one on the top from the throttle body to the ECU, then there are 3 others on top of the engine I replaced, with plenty of spare to fix the central locking in the door!

bit off topic MrTurner but is the central locking an easy fix jobie as I think our Mk3 drivers door needs some tlc as you can hear the air pressure hissing behind the lock - split pipe? or come disconnected maybe??  :undecided:

GSF in Derby don't do the oil breathers, said i need to go to the main stealers to get them!! same with the expansion tank pipe too - got it from Veedub for £10.89.

Anyone got any pics to highlight the vacuum pipes in a mk3 8v with an AGG?????
