Broke this piece...

I was able to patch the short AOS hose as shown in the post #7 of this thread

If the broken portion is accessible repair might be an alternative.
Note that this repaired hose has only been in my car for a couple of weeks but so far it seems to be working.

I usually cut the ends off and use a rubber hose. It's worked fine on my 3.4 boxster for 5+ years and my rally boxster for 2 years of racing

A rubber hose!?!? This is what came off. What size rubber hose would I need? How did you secure it?

The accordion plastic hose is heat shrink wrapped onto the fitting. Take a razor to where it goes over the fitting. Only cut far enough down to remove the tube and not down into the barbed fitting. Take the fitting to any automotive store that has rubber hoses and you should be able to find a size that fits. Don't use a thin walled rubber hose like a garden hose. Something with some meat to it. The hose you get should fit on snuggly to the fittings. I can't remember if I used hose clamps or not. 30 minute job tops

Look at post 162#
It shows that I did the same thing to the hose that goes from the AOS to the intake. Same principle.

Do you mean the red outlined hose below?
It doesn't look like you have any clamps. (Does it work w/o the clamps because of the suction inside the tube?)

What kind of hose is that? Where can I buy one? How is the hose secured? :dance:

elgygc,

I was looking at your "So... I have this spare engine" thread and saw this picture in post #12. Is the red dotted line the breather hose? This one doesn't look like it goes under the passenger side manifold as mine does.

Thanks in advance.
