Hi guys, just need help in finding a replacement for a hose I split. In the thread attached it is the first hose that is suggested to be removed.

Keen to know what it does, and what it is made (really hard and unflexible) so I can get an adequate replacement.

Cheers

looks like rocker cover breather of some sort... just get a rubber hose suited to oil as i would imagine some oil would get in that hose.......mite be able to get away with some heater hose, but just check it doesnt split after a while....

heater hose should be alright. on my other car the oil hose that drains to the sump split and was pissingo out oil. it was a weekend i could not get my hands on oil application hose. so i used a heater hose... the shop was adament it wouldnt hold for long... 12 months later havent changed it! to hard to get to and hasnt leaked !

Yeah, Heater hose would probably do the trick.

the hose doesn't really see any large numbers for pressure or anything, but as mentioned it does get oil over time.

most heater hoses are rated to a decent pressure and are usually rather resilient to chemicals so it should be fine. i don't see the point in it being as solid as they are, maybe it's more of a result of the continuous heating and cooling of the engine.

My thoughts as well but the U shaped pipe next to it is flexible so yeah was a bit confused. Anyway thanks for the input guys, I will just stick with the heater hose and replace when/if I need too.

Cheers

hi all,

yeah that's one of your blow-by hoses, really common for these to go rock hard and split from heat cycling as suggested above. A replacement will cost you around $40 from a dealer so use whatever you can, heater hose etc will still last a while. The one you have that split is made from rubber just like the other u shaped hose you mentioned just severely deteriorated.

    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
    • Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 🤣, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up
    • Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
    • We have one that holds 2.8L of water. On floor carpet that hasn't been touched in 2 or 3 years, will take a minimum of 2 fills of the tank to do a bedroom, and that's going AROUND the bed.   In the cruiser, I used an ENTIRE 2.8L tank, just on the front passenger footwell. But it had some fungus growing, and had been full of mud from being used as a 4WD for many years. I can do that floor again, and it will still pull mud out. However, the water now only looks dirty, not pitch black and leaving full sludge in the bottom of the tank it sucks back into. Oh, and, this is about a $1500 unit.
    • This is mine, works a treat for the cars, suction is good, I use the Bissell clean and protect stuff I have found giving it a good spray and light scrub with the soft brush on the head of the nossle for carpet, and a rub with a microfibre for cloth seats and cloth door trims, prior to another quick spray before vacuuming it up works the best @GTSBoy You would surprised on what it gets out of carpet and seats that actually "look" clean, I recommend that you test drive yours when you have a little time to kill, then post pics of the muddy looking water that I believe you will find
