Hi everybody,

I am in the later stages of changing my cylinder head gaskets on my Omega B 2.5 Estate. When I am about to refit the inlet manifold there seems to be two hoses that I must have missed where they shall be connected, despite pictures taken during the work. I have identified all the hoses to the inlet manifold. One of the undetermined hoses is about 7 mm x 12.5 mm (inner/outer diameter). It has no marks of clamps on it. It comes from back of the engine, but I cannot follow exactly where from, quite a bit down. when drawn straight upwards behind the engine it stretches some 30 cm above the inlet manifold. I don't know if it shall go to the left or to the right.The other one is about 8.5 mm x 3 mm, about 30 cm long, with a 90° turn at the end. It comes from the right hand side of the wall towards the passenger side.

Unfortunately I don't manage to insert images. when I click on the image icon it just come up , and from there I don't know what to do.

Please help!
I am no mechanic so please be specific with description.

Regards,
stagneius

Hi Welcome to the forum 

One of the hoses, the one right at the back will be the automatic gearbox breather.

Sorry, can't help with the other

There are two good guides for this in the Newbie welcome section.

Possibly the purge valve pipe...

Many thanks first to Andy B for information about the breather. I figure it is Ok putting its end somewhere where there is minimum risk for dirt?

Thanks to The Boy and Doesn't play ... for suggestions about the other hose. Could it be that it shall go to the fuel pressure regulator?

Thanks also to Shackeng for the information about how to upload pictures. I have tried uploading two displaying the other thin hose, but on my Mac it doesn't look like in the descriptions, so I don't know if it works.

The hose to FPR comes from ICV, if it's purge valve's hose it should come through somewhere where the fuel feed and return hoses come to the engine bay and connect to the small plastic thing bolted to the breather body.
