any suggestions for the below : i have just split the breather tube where it connects to the bleeder valve. the breather tube comes from the bleeder valve and then curls through the intake manifold and down below where it widens out into a bottle shape before connecting to something else with a retaining clip. however from what i can see it is impossile to get to it as it is under the intake manifold. i have bought the replacement part and am thinking of just cutting the old tube before the split and using a short piece of the new one to attach to the bleeder valve and somehow push it through inside the old tube. does anyone know exactly what this part does and how important it is ?? the car is a 2 litre petrol a6 cvt
