Author	Subject: Checked the Airfilter today...and this

But more worryingly I saw this This pipe was also covered in oil/grime. Could this potentially have caused any damage?

When this happens most people bung the hole up in the main pipe, and put a breather filter on the end of the ICV supply pipe. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft" Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone

Post #5 Get a heat gun and warm the end up so it melts, then push it onto the large bore pipe and it will melt back together. Job done.
