No kidding. This version of the engine is so much mechanically noisier than what I had in my Focus ST. As for what they do, I think they have something to do with the atmospheric pressure from the crankcase or transmission. I can feel air feeding into them. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't...
Does anybody else have these two hoses that don't connect to anything? Are they breather hoses? They're on the right side of the 2.0 in my 2025 Lobo. The right one also seems to be burning the large hose behind it. There is nothing in the ends of either of them. They're just open.
I think I'm going to do what someone else mentioned prior and wait until next year to do this. Once the dealerships have had more experience with this recall, and the parts are more readily avaliable. Well, hopefully. I just know I don't want my Lobo being the guinea pig for these techs to learn...
