Just rebuilding my rev 1 tubbie, and sods law i couldn't get through it without breaking summuts! theres an in-line filter/jet that sits in a small hose which comes from a pipe from the inlet manifold(not the cambelt side) then to a small hard metal pipe(near the engine hanger) then a small piece piece of rubber of hose then the filter, then to the charcoal cannister i think? can anyone tell me how important this is? (if u can understand any of this) is it just a filter or it a jet as the ends seem squashed? and where could i get one from? any help appreciated again lads, thanks Michael

picture could help with that awesome description

I got lost somoewhere after the metal pipe on the left after the right turn.

If its what I am thinking of, I think its just a oneway valve, not sure on the importance of it though.

Sorry mate no camera, im useless with computers, its a yellowish disc(which houses the filter) with two tubes off each side which sit inside the hoses. tried blowing through it both ways and it lets me, it just seems like a filter, but whats worrying me is the bits that sit inside the hoses were squashed, which makes me think there squashed to give a specified pressure/resistance? anyone got any clue wat im on about?

It's probably the one-way valve for the carbon cannister, stops stuff getting blown from the manifold back into the carbon cannister - if oil mist goes in it will contaminate the charcoal.

If the valve is broken, if it's a turbo it might mean it will leak your boost pressure out through the cannister. I suppose the actual worst thing that could happen is that it pressurises your cannister so mutch it bursts spreading lovely petrol soaked carbon about your pride and joy. IMO - get a new valve
