Yes mate its a T piece & part of the oil breather set-up.:drink:

[beaver02]

I dont think it is that though.... Just trying to upload a pic but I dont know how....

just go down scrappies and get another rocker cover ,then put it on only 2 bolts buddy

[beaver02]

if its part of the oil breather setup would it change engine noise much? because I seem to be getting a beefy noise whilst accelerating..... also does it do much damage whilst its broken? or does it cause petrol lose or anything?

[andy1weir]

dont think it would cause much more noise,, but im guessing yours is a mark 2 mines a mk1, doesnt make noise when i take it off,

that is where it is exactly broken.

[beaver02]

whilst it is broken will that cause any damage?

[andy1weir]

not 100% sure m8, might cause it to run a little shitty ive no idea, but youll be able to just get that at scrappies, stick it in your pocket,

[stevo67]

You`ll be fine,can you can not put some tape round it as a temporary fix?

[beaver02]

I've put some plasters over it for the moment.....But the nob heads at a garage I took my car to must of broke it... because there was some gaffer tape all wraped round it.

[andy1weir]

like i said m8, just go to scrappies when you next get a chance, its not a major thing so youve got time lol,

i have that exact pipe broken. Dont worry about it, you dont even need it really. Its the oil breather pipe which takes oil vapours and puts them into the airbox on one side and the inlet manifold on the other. Just tape up the pipe so oil doesnt leak out of it and it should be fine. Mine has been gaffa taped up for a couple of months and runs exactly the same.

If you think, most people who run aftermarket induction kits and airfilters so even have that connected...
