'85 Coupe breather & vacuum hoses...

[S2 PTH]

Gave the car a service yesterday and after looking at a load of the hoses in the engine bay its not clear to me what they all do and where they go or more importantly, should go!

Theres no breather pipe connecting the rocker cover to the rubber inlet manifold, which causes a large amount of pressure to form in the head. At the moment I just have a pipe that feeds to the crankcase but the one that is supposed to connect to the inlet manifold isn't there and the hole on the inlet is blocked! Does anyone know were I could get a T-piece rubber pipe to make this connection/standard again?

PS- I'll post some pictures showing the differences if necessary

Go on line to http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/. You can get just about any kind of connector or pipe from there. All the pipes need to be connected and connected into the right place. they should also be free of any of the accumulated years of gunge that builds up. I totally stripped my Cq out the other year and replaced all pipes, hoses and injectors with new. The difference was totally amazing and transformed the car.
Also take off the throttle body and if you can leave to soak for several days ( longer the better) in copious quantities of carb cleaner. Same with the idle stabilisation valve too.
I'll post a couple of pics later to show you what I mean.

Yes that would be great. You've opened yourself up to a few questions from me in the future then! Appologies in advance!
