What engine?

Might be worth checking the pipe on the back of the manifold that goes to crankcase breather on 1.8/2.0 zetecs. The pipe collapses on the bend by the manifold.

failing that, coil pack breaking down?

Have you checked your spark plug's/leads/coil pack?

this can cause a juddering sensation

Hi

My focus st170 has had lean fuel problems and engine management light come on. Found a split in the Crankcase breather pipe today.

Anyone know where I could get one from? Ford have told me they don't make them any more

Cheers
Chris

If it's split, can you not join it with copper pipe and jubbly clips?

Do you know whether I can use something like this and cut it to size if I find out the hose diameter (bore)?
