Where does this pipe go then??
« on: 09 September 2007, 12:58:52 »
Haven't figured out how to add a picture to a post yet but have got one to email if anyone has the time to look at it. The problem I have is that after getting a whistling noise recently from under the bonnet I have discovered a rubber pipe from the back of the offside cylinder head (hard to describe exaclty hence wanting to add picture) that doesn't seem to have anywhere to go? presuming that the whistling is coming from it (or where it's meant to be connected to) Don't mind running out a bit from Milton Keynes if anyone has the time to have a look or compare with another (99) 2.5 Eco Tec?
Thanks Paul

You need to set up an account with one of the picture hosting services like photobucket or image shack then you upload to there and paste the link into your post.
For quickness I've sent you a pm so you can email me your pic and I'll post it for you till you work out how to do it yourself.
I suspect the pipe you are talking about may be the gearbox breather pipe which is usually tied up at the back of the heads and left open to atmosphere, we'll know more when I post your pic.

Looking at the pics the loose pipe you have is the J breather pipe which should go on the second spigot from the left of the black ecotec breather box. I expect you have the gearbox breather pipe on one of them which is usually cable tied up.

Pipes on the rear of the ecotec box are (l to r looking from front of engine)
1 one side of Y pipe to breather box
2 J pipe down to brass nipple on breather box
3 pipe to charcoal canister
4 other side of Y pipe to breather box

Thanks for adding pictures I'll try and sort out photobucket for in the future.
I hope the pictures are clear enough I've tried to point to the bottom of the pipe in the second one and the top in the first
Thanks Paul

The gearbox breather is a more plasticky looking pipe you will see what i mean when you check them.
Cable tie it up so it can't fall down the back of the engine but make sure its not kinked off. then you should be left with the J pipe and one other to fit on the two smaller spigots of the breather box.

Was you've advised fits in nicely with what I can see, it looks like someone's connected the gearbox pipe to the breather box rather than my Mystery pipe as like you say it's a much more plastic pipe rather than rubber. Anyway i've swapped them round and will now go out for a spin to test and let you know later on. Thanks very much for your help
