OK Thanks I'll try to find the dipstick tube and hose later.
I have not done this CCV delete yet...just weighing my options. Didnt see it earlier but I didn't have ramps so I wasn't crawling around much under there. Would it be ok to just leave that hose hooked up or would the vaccum cause problems? I am really more worried about the loosing oil situation. I did look for the CCV but can't see it at all. Not sure if I'm looking in the correct place. I had the intake manifold ducting, air box , intake boot, DISA, ICV, drivers side engine cover and the under car splash guard off this morning. Was replacing the old intake boot. And no I didn't take all that stuff off to replace the boot. Was thinking of doing this delete to be done with this damn CCV disaster. If I understand it correctly...and do this delete then later want to change it back all I need is two new hoses to replace the ones that got cut up. And of course >>>a new CCV unit<<<. -

You can't see the ccv at all. I would totally take the intake manifold off if I did it again. I've done the whole job twice now and can do it with the manifold off in under 3 hours now. It sounds like it takes 3 hours of bad words of you leave it in anyway so Id take it off.

I am doing good to change out the intake boot, change plugs or do an oil change.
I had to have DIY's for those. Anything rather simple is ok. LoL Quote:

I don't know if you'll want to try to tackle taking it all out then. Just putting the pcv is easy enough though!

Yeah I figured I'd try this if I decide to not get the CCV changed out.
Thanks

Yeah seems like it's easy enough. Just not sure if I want to bypass it yet tho.
I wish I could have seen the CCV yesterday when I was replacing the intake boot. I had it off along with the airbox, DISA, and ICV. It must be directly under where this CCV delete goes. I missed it tho. I looked at ECSTuning for a CCV and it shows to have only three outlets. Two of them hook to hoses (to intake and to valve cover) and the other I think goes to the dipstick hose. Appears to only have one bolt holding it on. This is the cold weather updated and insulated version. So it may be different than others I have seen shown on here. Honestly don't really want to pay my mechanic to change a valve and two hoses either tho. LoL
