Thanx, i got hold of a bore scope stuck it in there and can confirm that its that hose under the intake. Will strip it out, measure the hose size and go get a piece of hose to replace. Not interested going to a dealer for this repair.

Does anyone know if the OEM part has been changed to another type of hose in later models?

Over the years I've learnt they never do that mate. They will replace it with the same shit part that failed and will keep failing.

Stealerships can’t make money out of reliable cars. That’s why SAAB shut its doors on passenger vehicles.

If its just the hose any good quality hose suitable will do the job, preferably from a hydraulic hose shop, hidden away constant heat you want the good stuff, so don't go genuine it has proved itself not to be.

If you want to check your part number use https://www.moparpartsgiant.com/jeep-parts.html
they have a reliable online listing. Then I go shopping at rockauto https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/jeep

This part number supersedes a few others:

Saved me lotsa dollars, and learned alot about the eco diesel.

Hi Kiowa

Great that you are doing this!! Suggest you place a rag or something over those intake holes...you don't want something drop down there :confused::confused::confused::confused::confused:

Check out my pics earlier on this thread :)

All the best!
