Having a bit of a problem with the diff breathers for my GLX 2.8 Diesel auto 4/16 build.
I've done the rear diff and plumbed it up into the engine bay, no probs at all.
The factory front diff breather terminates up under the power steering fluid reservoir which is pretty high up in the engine bay so I just might leave it alone. It wouldn't be a problem to extend it a few inches in any case.
By crawling underneath the vehicle I've located the two transfer case breather hoses laying along the bell housing but there's no way I can find where they terminate. This thread and youtube suggest they terminate between the firewall and the rear of the engine but in the 2.8 its impossible to see into this space, nevermind reach in and undo any retaining clips! I imagine I would still be able to splice into these tubes from underneath and run the lengthened tubes up into the engine bay without too much difficulty.
This leaves the breather for the auto tramsmission, the one with the white cap. Buggered if I know where it is in the 2.8. Apparently in the 3litre it terminates with the transfer case breathers and be clipped in with them but, as I can't see these either, for the time being I'm stuffed.
I'd be greatful for any hints/help/pics on how to locate the auto transmission breather and hose.
