Breather pipe connection
Hi all, I'm on holiday in France and got the dreaded restricted performance light come on. Sounds like rushing air under load, local garage diagnosed leaking air inlet manifold. I've been having a look and noticed a small plastic pipe has come off a rubber tee piece. First question is, I assume it has come off the rubber t-peice? Second, is this likely to be my problem or just a separate one? Also it looks like there other side of the t-piece it's also missing a pipe, though I can't see one anywhere.

These always break/fail through heat but are not enough to cause the fault. It will be a split manifold. I had this split on mine for a while before I realised. Part number is LR013531

Well mine have gone brittle too and just about to replace them, however I have noticed that the spigot that sticks up and goes into the T piece has snapped off, so what is that plastic housing? Cheap and easy to swap, or removable to repair maybe?
Not at home just now to dig deeper so just wondering if anyone knows?

It is engine model dependent, but for the 3.0L it's this part

You can blank those off. New manifolds have the fitting for the rubber elbow, but is not drilled through, so not used. The little nipple on the breather box just needs to be capped.
If you really want to keep the cross head breather, you can use copper brake pipe as a substitute.Joe

I just wanted to notice that copper pipe CANT be used for brakes
Only copper plated steel or CuNiFe !
