Recently picked up this 2007 convertible S with 85k and the first few months were grand. Now I just replaced both window regulators and during an oil change, my brother noticed one of the previous owners put in a crappy catch can (ebay special with tube on side to see level, already leaking).

I'd like to revert it to stock and am having a hard time finding a hose. What size hose should I use? it goes from the valve cover and I believe the previous owner cut the stock hose to put the occ in. This is convenient as I believe the stock hose goes across the engine under the intercooler and I'd rather not pull it. I just need a short length of hose but should it be heater hose or something else.


Also and unrelated, the car developed a rattle sound which many threads have attributed to the timing chain. I will revert to stock, perform an oil change to inspect the oil that comes out but how safe is it to drive like this?
