08 S60 Cheap PCV vent hose?

Is there such a thing? Really don't want to drop 190.00 on one. Is it possible to clean these?

Part number 30731068 sells for $146.46 at Tasca.

Like all PCV components hoses can clog and be unclogged with a good scraping with a bottle cleaner and throttle cleaner. Main problem I can see with this one is its length and all the bends in it.

Perhaps a coat hanger with some emery paper attached may be able to get far enough down each end.

If you talked about the hard plastic line that is coming off the circular part (where the banjo bolt goes through), it can be replaced with an XC90 service part. Also it will save you the cleaning of the small orifice.

Look at item (1a) part number 30731007.

For more precise information on this model of PCV, look at " Cleaning the Banjo Fitting Under the Intake Manifold" in the following blog.

Thanks precopster and DGM. Does anyone know if Gumout Carb/Choke cleaner will damage these lines, or will it work for cleaning?

Thanks again.

Anyone on the best and safest cleaner?
