Technical Unknown hose

[JP24]

Hello,

New here. Working on a salvage Grande Punto 2009 with the 1.4 16V 70kW/95HP engine. VIN ZFA19900000466911
On top of the engine there is a vacuum hose that is leaking and needs to be replaced (see picture below). The problem is that I can't find it in ePER, as if it doesn't exist for my car. Does anyone know the part number for this hose?

Greetings from Holland

That area of the engine had many variations over the years, also recalls. The "breather" (PCV) system, combined with oil catch tanks etc.
Your version looks like this hose (it's also for 1,4 16V, but not Grande): https://www.google.com/search?q=77366314+1.4+16V+Fiat
There are also sets/kits available (more hoses, clips an so on).

EPER is a pretty stupid database, not easy to use, the structure (like air cleaning is inside "fuel injection" category, very "intuitive").
Some parts are not available for particular model, but for others are (same part exists only within assembly or not!). Silly things like hoses, bolts, gaskets etc.

Thank you. Looks to be the same hose. Saw some prices, must be gold plated on the inside

You can substitute it with cheaper general purpose hose. Just check the internal diameter.
And material suitable for oil fumes (NBR, fuel hose, or LPG etc.), so definitely not EPDM (it's for water) or PVC garden hose from B&Q.

Yes, that might be a good option for me. It makes a narrow turn though...
