Not a problem! Would perhaps prefer to have someone watch me have a go at this and point out what i'm doing wrong rather than do this again for the third time and make it even worse!

When i did my breathers several weeks ago i too had a loud hissing noise but mine was coming from under the ecotec cover,and found seal 90467543 damaged as it had become hard and broke on reassembling the ecotec covers (mines in two parts),£1.16p from vauxhalls,also found out what was causing my eml to flicker,the plug to the rear multiram was actually off,i do not know how i missed that but there you go,i replaced all the seals on the ecotec cover for piece of mind,hope you manage to sort it.

Right! dismantled it all again and put six new 'o' rings on, carefully (is there any other way?) reassembled it all triple checking every connection and the his is still there....

As I said, the multiram seems fine so i'm at a loss.....

Maybe the hiss was always there.....?

Would say I got about the same but I think it's dropped off since I cleaned the breather system. When I heard this slight hiss I presumed I had some sort of air leak....  Not 100% convinced now.....
