KV6 ENGINE BREATHER PIPE LLH102980A .. Help!

John3:16 · 10th October 2018, 15:03

I did some work on my V6 and had to remove the air intake manifold and associated breather pipes.

All went well until it came to refit the breather pipes and I'm stuck with V6 ENGINE BREATHER PIPE LLH102980A. I'm fine with it fitting into the rocker cover and into the air intake but it's the pipe in the middle I cannot work out where it should go.

I initially thought it was maybe the wrong breather pipe as the diagram of the engine on my XPart CD seems to show a continuous pipe but then found out the breather pipe item is LLH102980A and sure enough it has a little down pipe almost in the middle. Where the flip does this pipe fit into as there's nothing to push it into?

Anyone got a nice diagram of how this pipe should be connected.?

Cheers

Neill

Bwead ... just searched on the clubsite LLH102980A and found a nice photo of where the middle pipe goes !

Sorry ... too much coffee trying to work out where it went.

Problem solved.

Neill; look for an identical tube coming from the RH bank, turning upwards through 90 degrees and with a white collar on the top.
