Need advice for installing 03 986 3.2L Vent Line for Oil Separator, (Lower Fitting)
My original Vent Line for Oil Separator, (Lower Fitting) cracked while I was working on my engine. Bought the new part, but I can't figure out how to install the new one.
The old one just cracked apart as I was trying to remove it so I'm not sure how to route the new one back into the engine. Looked all over for the procedure, but all the searches want to point to installing a Oil Air Separator unit. Not what I'm looking for. Can this be snaked back in or do I need to remove move parts to get it in. Have the throttle body T plenum and the back plenum removed. Just can't figure out if I can snake the new one back in. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks! |
OMG Kram lives!!!!!!! Welcome back buddy :cheers:. I can't really help you with your question but I just wanted to say hey.

http://986forum.com/forums/general-discussions/27039-aos-breather-line-replacement.html Anyways. I don't see why I need to removed the driver's side intake manifold as it pulled right out. The issue I'm having is getting the line routed through the passenger side area of the engine, pretty tight in there. I tried getting it through there, but just not sure how it goes through that area. The line keeps getting caught up and I don't want to damage the new on lol. |
He's back, welcome back!!!

Would be very interested to know your specific suggestion for a substitute for the OEM part . |

When it warms back up, I'll go back and do it the original way, but this is good enough for now. |
Hey Kram, Many of the subscribers were left scratching their heads when you left the forum including myself. Your contribution to the 996TB 997T and 987 Airbox mod was one of the best I've seen. Welcome back. Sorry I don't have an answer to your Aos vent issue but I'm sure you'll figure it out. By the way are you going to end up getting a tune in your future?

Good to hear from you, bud! :)

You have to remove almost everything from the top of the engine...
Or, buy a 1meter long piece a 19mm silicone vacuum hose, cut the old plastic hose out of the two fittings and route the silicone hose as you like! |
Ben,
What grade silicone hose do you recommend to avoid collapse with vacuum but still have flexibility to fit? I ask because the 5 ply &/or thick wall silicone hoses are quite stiff and the wire-wound silicone hoses are a premium price. I have used these (sorry they are English!): Wire Reinforced Silicone Hoses - AutoSiliconeHoses.com - Silicone Hose Store - Buy Silicon Direct |
