Hey all, I was changing the old, hardened, leaking VCG on my wife's Touring and was doing the plugs while in there. When removing the CCV hose from the front of the VC it snapped like 75% around, and at the flexible joint meeting the tube that goes down the front of the engine and then under the intake manifold. This wouldn't be a big deal if it was one of my cars because I work from home and have others to drive. But since it's the mom mobile I am hoping some duck tape can get her through to next weekend when I can replace it. Will that work as a temporary fix for 6 days and 150-200 miles?
The hose in question is Part Number 2:
