Hi guys.
I'm doing my breathers and have a blocked pipe. Its the smallest one, no. 3 as seen in the pic below:
(http://images.omegaowners.com/images/guides/v6_breathers/breather_assembly.jpg)
I've stuck a long wire down the whole length of the pipe but it seems to be the bottom bit where it comes out of the middle that's blocked.
I took this picture from the maintenance guide and cant work out exactly where the exit point for this pipe (purple line) is. If I know that, maybe I can unblock it.
I've prodded around as much as I can with a thin bag tie wire but am not certain where to poke?
Can anyone offer advice on clearing this please?
Cheers
Neil

i used 2 cans of carb cleaner, and continous prodding, then aired out with wd40 after.

There are pin holes in the circular portion as in the photo insert.
A strand from a wire brush, held in vice grips and wriggle it in with copious carb cleaner....

Bloody Hell!
I didn't notice the two pin holes in the picture and Mine were completely blocked and covered in crud so I couldn't see them.
2 sodding hours tryin to clear that pipe ....I could have had it all back together by now. Bang goes my ly-in tomorrow morning. >:(
Might be a useful note to put on the maintenance guide for future users?
Cheers for the help guys, much appreciated. :y
