trickymonday Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 I have a 2002 Forester. While changing the PCV on the engine, the plasctic tee that goes into the engine was super brittle and cracked off. The dealer says that there is no replacement. Any ideas? Thanks for your time and effort. Ray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forester2002s Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 You need Subaru part #11821AA450 ($14). How do I know? I had exactly the same experience as you. The plastic tee broke when I was trying to get to the PCV. I epoxy-glued the old tee together (so that I could drive to the dealer). 9-months and 17,000km later, I still haven't installed the new tee. My epoxy work seems to be holding just fine.

trickymonday Posted December 18, 2014 Author Share Posted December 18, 2014 Thanks Fanatic 1, but I don't think that's the tee I need. On the tee you bought, the hose that connects the tee to the engine connects to a second tee which is threaded into the manifold. That's the tee I need. Thanks.

Fairtax4me Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 So you need the dummy PCV nipple that threads into the manifold? You should be able to get that from a dealer. But if not, try your local Napa parts store. They often have an assortment of brass nipple fittings and should be able to match it pretty close.

Rooster2 Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Any auto parts store will have a rack with various plastic fittings for under the hood applications. They will be generic,and often are listed under the "Help" brand. If you look at the various offerings, many times you will be able to find something that will work, tho may be a slightly different design than OEM.
