I am going to clean my idle control valve on my 2.0 16v R reg vectra, and I want to replace the breather pipe on top of the engine (it is soft, and sticky on the inside), and also to fit an oil trap so I don't have to do it all again. I went to Andrew Pages, who did not have anything I wanted, cos only vauxhall supply them, so I ended up walking out with some heater pipe to fit as my breather pipe. So...
1) is heater pipe OK for the breather pipe at the top of the engine.2) Can I make a new idle control valve gasket from a paper gasket kit (or corn flakes packet for that matter)
3) If I get an oil trap, which breather pipe do I fit it to? The one I am replacing, or the half metal half rubber(?) one at the front coming from the bottom of the engine? Does it float in free space, or is there somewhere to fix it to.Thanks
