Was out a drive last night in my saxo vts and the breather pipe that comes out the head that returns back to the sump has come loose. This is not the breather pipe that comes out the rocker cover as I know you can get a replacement from spoox for £20 for that one. Did wonder if they were the same but look a bit different in size.

Call Citroen to price a replacement and they want over a £100 so not paying that for a couple of inch piece of metal.

Looking what people would recommend to seal it back in to the side of the head ? It is a push fitment and loose at the moment if I try and push it back in.

See photo not my car but one I found on internet.

Clean the oil off,then wrap a piece of PTFE tape around in & push back in.Or if you can find a piece of plastic/copper pipe then slide that over the end & push into the block with a jubilee clip holding it.
