Dorman 46012 uses quality rubber to replace aging OE tubing that can harden, split, or leak, which can affect crankcase ventilation performance and engine sealing.

What It Helps Address

• Cracked or brittle PCV hose material
• Vacuum leaks caused by a leaking valve cover to PCV tube
• Rough idle related to damaged crankcase ventilation tubing
