cleaning breather pipes
« on: 20 April 2014, 16:45 »
The breather pipe going from the air intake to ISV on an ABF, can I clean this out with warm soapy water as it's looking rather gunky, and also which other breather pipes are the most common ones to check and clean on the ABF

Many thanks :)

yeah you can but it will get a bit soft when you clean it with hot water, so handle carefully. those pipes are not very cheap....

Thanks mate, I may just wait until I get some carb cleaner and do it properly, don't want to split any and have to spend any more money hahaha
