Hello, I need a bit off help to identify two breather pipes  as in the pic, as they have split and have no part number on them

One on the right is the vent hose from crankcase part #90499659
Small one on the left is vent hose from inlet manifold part # 90528437

Thank you so much

There's a modification for the one on the right - involves cutting it in half and fitting a filter box which has a gauze in it.

Is this a standard fit on later cars, if not is it advised and is there a part number for the filter

Cheaper to get that part from a scrappy if you really want to fit it

It was generally fitted to cars that suffered with the base idle problem as part of a TIS notification. I have one somewhere so should be able to find you a part number. I believe a second hand one should be fine as you can clean the gauze quite easily.

Ok so a low mileage 2003 car is unlikely to benefit from it then

Just like the V6's, regular oil changes and breather cleaning is the key. That crankcase breather pipe does crumble after a while regardless.

Which reminds me, I haven't cleaned the breathers on the 2.6 for over 21K  Mind you it lives mainly on the motorway and has 3 - 4K oil changes (so one at least every month)....
