steveyeu22 Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Can anyone guide on where the other end of the pipe attached to this part should be attached? It has a clip partway down the pipe and the end just hangs down below the battery box as things stand. Only idenfying mark is CJNKA and it clips near the radiator fan. I've found topics confirming its the transmission vent but looking for some guidance. Where should the other end of the pipe attach and how would it attach? How critical is it if it's not attached where it once was? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bigger problem now is that there will be an open hole somewhere on your gearbox that could potentially allow dust, dirt and grit in, which you really don't want in there. Which gearbox do you have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 If it's this gearbox, there is a small black plastic pipe connector right in the middle of the 'box on this picture. Just down and slightly right from the green bit. I think that's where the vent will connect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will see if I can get the car jacked up and have a look. In theory should I be able to attach the pipe back without needing to take anything apart?

You can reach it from the top if it's the part I'm thinking of. Probably need to remove the air intake pipe but that's easy enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably need to remove the air intake pipe but that's easy enough. Do you mean the intake from the radiator itself or the short hose from the airbox to the turbo with the airflow sensor? I will actually get under the bonnet when it's daylight and see what I can figure out. Looks like I may need a new breather as the loose pipe does not have the right angled part on it although it doesnt look to be split. https://shop.ford.co.uk/products/ford-gearbox-breather-hose-tube-1 Slightly confused as car is 1.4 TDCi but engine bay layout is the same as images of the 1.6 engine which is making finding the right details more of a challenge.

If you take a picture of your engine bay and upload it here I'll confirm exactly what needs to be removed. The right angled part may still be in the gearbox.

For some reason it's not letting me upload the photo at the moment will try on a different device later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
