I got my airbox totally changed to something different. As the man, who cares for my Puma (YES, I finally found one :mrgreen:) changed my radiator, he found an unplugged hose. T.I.S. said, it's engine breather hose and should be connected to the (non-present) airbox. Where should I connect this ?

you can leave it hanging if it's the one i am thinking of. it's used to dispel air and feeds back to the air filter to add some extra air

just tie it to something

Sounds like the crankcase breather. Stick a filter on the end and zip-tie it to something.

It is used to expel dodgy gases from the crank case. It is usually connected up to the airbox and the air is recycled through the filter and back into the engine. :yell: Someone correct me if I'm wrong. Without a filter on the end of this pipe, your car may fail emissions regulations.

May I repeat, that this pipe SUCKS air ?!? The air goes in the pipe, not out of the pipe. I can clearly put a finger in and i can feel it.

sounds like the crank case breather, as already said, you can just tie-wrap it somwhere out of the way, or fit a little pipercross filter thingy, it dont really matter.
