I just glided over it and it bloody broke off with the other half stuck inside the crossover section. The plastic looked very brittle, I'm guessing the heat from the engine bay had an effect on weakening this plasttic part. THe RACQ guy told me its for EPA requirements.He patched it up for me but I just can't remember the name that he told me so I can tell ford exactly what needs to be done when I ring on monday I've posted up the picture of the part and you can't miss it because it got red tape all over itI think it was something ventilation valve or something like thatAgain I'm just looking for the name of that bit. I hope someone can helpthanks in advance for the helpcheers Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/24143-ventilation-valve-on-crossover-section/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately that's what happens when its is my work ute as well as my everyday car and since I'm driving to and from work everyday. Maybe I'll put in some research into cleaning engine bay but atm I just try to keep at half descent but then again brisbane is just one big dust bowl atm anyways. I just wipe the bits that are easy to get to.Anyways I'll stop blabbing on nowcheers lads Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/24143-ventilation-valve-on-crossover-section/#findComment-361296 Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the section with the printing "turbo intercooled" so that I can say to whomever I'm talking to at ford, becuase you don't know if they are knowledgable enough to know what you are talking about, look the rocker cover breather linbe is broken at this end cheers again lads Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/24143-ventilation-valve-on-crossover-section/#findComment-361302 Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the simplest thing would be just replace it.
