PCV Valve Hose?

[NiteSite]

When I got my car it had a pipercross cone filter instead of the original panel filter and I have noticed I've got 2 random pipes/hoses not connected to anything, just wondered where they should go and if it's anything to worry about?

Quick flick through the Haynes says one of these is PCV valve hose?

I don't have a clue! :blush:

Anyone?

The Positive Crankcase Ventilation valve is an emissions control device that routes unburned crankcase blowby gases back into the intake manifold where they can be reburned. The PCV system is one of the oldest emission control devices, and also one of the most beneficial. Besides totally eliminating crankcase emissions as a source of air pollution, the constant recirculation of air through the crankcase helps remove moisture which otherwise would cause sludge to form. Thus the PCV valve extends the life of the oil and engine.

Well it's not done any harm so far! I Just don't like random pipes everywhere lol
