had the car check by subaru at ossy park this morning, they couldn't find anything wrong apart from this breather hose found disconnected from the carbon canister.

anyone know what that hose does?

yea.. i have no idea what that was,
they said something about a vacuum tube that transmit the unburnt fuel back into the engine.

now that the tube is connected back on, but when i drive it, i dun find any difference.

hm..
