2007 TDV8, can someone show me how the front diff breather pipe is run, what it looks like where it connects and where it ends up. I think my car has had it removed. 2007 TDV8 VSE

Thanks for the info, part number etc. I read that thread a couple of days back as I am planning to change the lh side inlet manifold gasket and looking for info. I was looking at the engine mount that needs to be undone and noticed the outlet on top of the diff with no hose attached. Looking at my air cleaner housing there is a hose attached to the nipple but following the hose it's attached to another part, The hose from that part number looks like it just sits up high somewhere unconnected to anything. 4A058 is the part in the diagram

The only other way would be to check every single breather pipe and follow them to see where they lead. Just before I bought my car the previous owner had the manifold gasket replaced before I collected it. It was some weeks later that I found 2 loose breather pipes not attached to anything although the car ran smoothly and no faults showed up. Took me a fair while to find where they connected to hence why I asked on here (my post I directed you to). Considering the car ran as normal with them hanging loose and didn't feel any difference with them reconnected, it now makes sense with what classic888 said about it going to the nipple behind the air filter housing. The other breather I found loose connected to an electrical type connector just below the oil filler neck with an L shape connector that attached to another pipe. |

Thanks for the reply, as I said I had previously read your post as it came up in a search for inlet manifold removal. My car runs fine, has no errors, plenty of power, all present hoses are connected and in sound condition. My question remains, as I am missing my diff breather hose, where does it run and end up in the engine bay.

The breather is the same part number as used on my MY12 and mine's breather is located near the left edge of the radiator, below the left air intake/MAF. |

Thanks, is the upper end connected to anything or just left open to breathe? 2007 TDV8 VSE

The upper end is open but faces downwards. |

Perfect, thanks again, I will most probably make something up myself as getting a second-hand part here in WA is probably unlikely. Had a look on eBay for diff breather kits and they all use the same plastic pipe as on the P38a air suspension lines. I have a roll of that so should be a cheap fix. The more I dig around this car the more I distrust the main dealers, the only ones to work on it, just noticed the airbox to wheel arch grommet is also missing. I am slowly getting through the faults. 2007 TDV8 VSE
