Replacement inline filter valve question

Folks,

I am replacing the radiator in the Activa with a CT turbo engine and I have snapped the small filter/valve in the line from the oil filler to the throttle body. Can anyone help me with a description and part number and perhaps a substitute I might be able to get over the weekend? It is made by Ate and has a motor direction arrow on it. I will try to add a pic.

I also have found a pipe that seems to go nowhere poking out from under the reservoir - any clues on what this pipe is and if it should end like this?

Regards,

Ken W

There is a bigger PCV valve which is in a line that runs from the oil filler back to the low pressure intake manifold.

This valve regulator is on the smaller pipe and runs from the oil filler to the throttle body which is on the high pressure side of the turbo.

The side with motor -> is pointing towards the throttle body so if there was a valve action, it would stop the high pressure air from getting back to the crankcase.

I managed to speak to Eursoserve at 3 minutes to p 5pm yesterday and he located something he thought might be it that was described as a regulator part number 1180E8. Perhaps I should google that.

First Google response (Perhaps I should have felt lucky)
1180E8 REGULATOR *06 15.3300 pounds from PermierPartsWarehouse in the UK

Hmmm

Hi ken,

I have looked on laser and the part number you have quoted (1180E8) is not the valve you have broken. It is the larger PCV valve that sits up by the air box trunking.

The little PCV valve you have broken is not available as a spare part on its own. It comes complete with hoses under part No. 1192R3.

It's only a one-way PCV valve so I'd reckon any should be Ok there. A local factors should eb able to supply something suitable..

The pipe that disappears. If it is the one that connects to the throttle body and then exits stage-right through the front inner wing then this is the pipe that goes off to the carbon canister under the wing. Later Activas have a brown purge electrovalve in this line clipped to the slam panel. Earlier ones have the electrovalve under the wing.

The only other pipe I can think of is the vent pipe from the LHM reservoir cap. This quite rightly does just end in nothing and is usually tucked under the LHM reservoir.
