Well, if that is not it, I can't see how the breather tube can be replaced without removing the manifold.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

During my attempt to replace the AOS, I broke the breather hose this afternoon.

How difficult is it to replace?
My baby is 2001 base.
Thanks in advance.
difficult to replace, it's easy.
Getting access to replace it though, that is a whole different story. Both intakes have to be removed/moved around. It is very easy with the engine out. With it in....you wont ever want to do it again. Did it a year ago, was no fun.
I was able to patch the short AOS hose as shown in the post #7 of this thread

I replaced mine without removing the intake manifold, accessing the driver's side connector through the opening behind the seats, just be patient and take your time...
Is there room to snake the breather tube from the opening behind the seats?
Do I have to remove anything to make room? Like alternator?
You guys are giving me hope.
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.
Are the both manifolds easy to loosen and reattach? I read somewhere about manifold seals or sealant. I am not sure I have the skill set to loosen and reattach. I am leaning towards the idea of silicon or rubber hose 'extension' to I can drive the car to the mechanic. At least that will save me the towing.
Thank you Stl-986.
Mike, to access the tube connector you have to reach between the power steering pump and the intake manifold (behind the driver) look inside with a flashlight, this is how I replaced mine and didn't remove the manifold (or loosen it), however I remember that it was not a fun job..
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.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
