Title: Pipe
Post by: jamie on 02 March 2007, 14:48:29

On the V6, two larger pipes come off a "Y" into the plastic ecotec badged part of the engine (rear bulk head), and 2 smaller pipes also connect to the black plastic ecotec badged part.

I have another pipe that comes up, from lower in the engine area.  It is unconnected, I cant see any further points to attach it to, and its cable tied by the "Y" piece and has a few inches of slack.

The dealer has removed the auto box recently, everything appears OK, could this be a breather for the gear box.

Will post a picture soon.

Thanks

it looks like the breather , its usualy looped at the back so the open end is pointing down ( to stop anything going in it)
