Breather hose wont stay grrrr!

[riggsy]

Ever since i fitted my new induction kit where the brather hose disappears back into the block it jees coming out? Is it supposed to clip in or something? As mine doesnt....

Heres a pic and as you can see its not been pushed all the way in here...

i know the vtr ones clip in not sure on the VTS, try tightening the clips up

[riggsy]

Maybe it has loosend off then as it took it off when fitted the raceland?

Every time i come home from a drive it has come out again...

[Predator_R32]

is it on with a jubilee clip???

[riggsy]

No mate, look in this pic the but circled is the bit im on about, right the breather hose is held onto a platic bit, then the plastic bit goes into the block right! Thats the bit that keeps coming out. Been told to just get some sealent on it and put it back in? Good idea?

ooo right so the actual bit that goes into the head???

if so then just seal it in place a suppose

[lavo-vts]

ive got same problem its a right pain in the arse also my oil breather pipe below it falls out! gonna try some gum gum exhaust repair paste the hotter it gets the harder it sets

[vtskid]

yea my first one fell out too, i got a new one from citroen, about £18 or something and then got some araldite from halfrauds (£5), its like a two part putty, smells like fish, lol.
but anyway put that round it and its stayed put!

[riggsy]

£18 for a new plastic bit or did that come with a new hose aswell?

Araldite from halfrauds ayy, so its still held in place today?

I just stuck some black sealent around mine and wedged it back in got a strong feeling it isnt going to hold though grrrrr....

Anyone know what there held in place by originaly?

[vtskid]

plastic? thought it was metal!?
anyways, yea its still im, just rough up the area around it first and let it set and should be spottydog!

sure it sat further in before but didnt want to damage it by 'tapping it in'.....

[riggsy]

Yeah your right mate it is metal not plastic my bad!

Some one must know how they are held in originaly?

[davew]

mine just pushes in? seems to stay there by itsself

[riggsy]

mine just pushes in? seems to stay there by itsself

So when you push it theres no clip atall?

I think i know why mine doesnt now, the raceland is set a bit further down in the bay, that might be why?

Defo just wack some sealer round it Riggs

[riggsy]

Defo just wack some sealer round it Riggs

Cheers, i did but dont think it will hold?

Might need some tougher stuff?

[Colin]

Yeah it should hold. Mine stayed solid until my dad ripped it off! Then I ran out of sealer.

You could use silicon if the entire surface was squeaky clean.

You could also use Araldite if you wanted it to be uber strong!

I need to re-attach mine thinking about it. My VTS dont idle right when it falls out.
