HYUNDAI GETZ 2006 to 2011 Workshop Service Repair Manual Digital Download

Tools needed
- Flathead screwdriver (cross/Philips if clamp screws are Phillips)
- 8–10 mm socket and ratchet (for airbox bolts/clamps)
- Hose clamp pliers or adjustable pliers (for spring clamps)
- Long-nose pliers
- Small flat pick or trim tool (to release clips)
- Utility knife or hose cutter (if hose is seized and must be cut)
- Rags and brake-cleaner or carb cleaner (to remove oil residue)
- Work light, nitrile gloves, safety glasses

Replacement parts & consumables
- Replacement breather/PCV hose (OEM part or high-temp vacuum hose of correct inner diameter)
- New clamps (spring-type or worm-drive) — replace spring clamps if brittle; worm clamps if required
- Optional: new PCV valve (recommended if old one is sticky)
- Small amount of silicone grease (optional, to ease hose fitment)

Safety precautions
- Work on a cold engine. Hot engines and components can cause burns.
- Park on level ground, set parking brake; use wheel chocks if needed.
- Wear safety glasses and gloves — the hose can have oil and debris.
- Disconnect negative battery terminal only if you’ll be working around electrical components or if instructed by service manual (not strictly required for hose swap but safe if you’ll be moving sensors/wiring).
- Avoid open flames and sparks—crankcase vapors and spilled cleaner are flammable.
- Dispose of oily hoses/cloths according to local regulations.

Step‑by‑step: replace the breather/PCV hose (Hyundai Getz)
1. Prepare
- Let engine cool 30+ minutes.
- Open bonnet and locate valve cover and intake/airbox. On Getz petrol engines the breather/PCV hose runs from the valve cover (PCV outlet) to the intake manifold or air inlet/airbox.

2. Inspect and identify connections
- Trace the hose path and note clamp types (spring or worm). Identify the PCV valve location (a small plastic valve fitted into the valve cover or hose).

3. Remove obstructing components if needed
- If the hose route is under the airbox lid, remove the airbox top: undo 8–10 mm bolts/clamps and lift off. Use socket/ratchet or screwdriver as required.
- Use trim tool to release any wiring clips holding the hose away from hot components.

4. Release clamps
- For spring clamps: use hose clamp pliers or long-nose pliers to compress the clamp and slide it back along the hose away from the fitting. Hold compressed while you remove the hose.
- For worm-drive clamps: use flathead screwdriver or appropriate socket to loosen the screw several turns, then slide the clamp back.

How the tools are used:
- Hose clamp pliers: squeeze handles to open spring clamp, keeping it compressed while you slide it off the barb. Some pliers can lock; others require a helper.
- Screwdriver/socket: turn clockwise to tighten, counterclockwise to loosen. Back out enough to allow hose removal.

5. Free the hose from fittings
- Twist the hose gently while pulling to break seal. If it’s stuck, push a flat screwdriver between hose and nipple and twist carefully — avoid prying on plastic fittings to prevent cracks.
- If hose won’t move, spray a little penetrating oil or use a hot rag (careful) to soften; as a last resort cut the hose lengthwise with a utility knife and peel it off the fitting.

6. Remove PCV valve (if part of assembly)
- Pull the PCV valve out of the valve cover by wiggling while pulling straight up/down. If stuck, twist gently. Inspect valve — if sticky or clogged, replace.

7. Clean fittings
- Wipe oil and debris from the valve cover outlet and intake nipple with a rag and cleaner to ensure a good seal for the new hose.

8. Prepare and fit new hose
- Verify inner diameter and length match original. If using a universal hose, ensure it’s high‑temp oil/heat resistant and not kinked in routing.
- Place clamps onto the hose before installation (always put clamps on hose first).
- Push the hose fully onto each barb: ensure it seats over the raised bead on the fitting for positive retention.
- Position clamps over the barb area and tighten:
- For spring clamps: slide to correct position and release.
- For worm clamps: tighten until snug — do not over-torque; just enough to compress the hose, avoid crushing or cutting it.

How to use clamps:
- Spring clamp: compress with clamp pliers, slide into position, release so it grips uniformly.
- Worm clamp: use screwdriver/socket; tighten until the hose material bulges slightly at clamp, then stop.

9. Reinstall removed components
- Refit airbox lid, bolts, wiring clips. Ensure hose is routed away from hot exhaust or moving parts.

10. Test
- Start engine and let idle. Check for hissing or rough idle (vacuum leak) and inspect hose/clamp for oil seepage.
- Rev slightly and watch for check engine light or irregular response. Re-tighten if any leaks found.

Common pitfalls & how to avoid them
- Reusing old brittle hose or clamps: replace them. Old hoses collapse or crack; old spring clamps can lose tension.
- Overtightening worm clamps: this can cut the hose or crack plastic fittings. Tighten until secure—don’t muscle it.
- Damaging plastic fittings: avoid prying on plastic nipple with screwdriver; twist while pulling, use penetrating oil or cut hose if necessary.
- Wrong hose ID/length: use same inner diameter and sufficient length — too small leaks, too long can kink and cause restrictions.
- Forgetting PCV valve inspection: a stuck PCV causes pressure build-up and oil leaks; replace if any sign of sticking or clog.
- Poor routing: routing near hot exhaust or sharp edges will shorten hose life. Secure with clips away from moving parts.
- Not checking for vacuum leaks after fitting: idle changes or hissing indicate improper seal—re-check clamps and seating.

Notes on parts
- Hyundai OEM part is recommended for best fit; however any oil-resistant, high-temp vacuum hose with correct ID will work.
- Replace plastic spring clamps if they are corroded or deformed.
- If the PCV valve is more than a few years old or shows oil sludge, replace it with the OEM part.

Follow these steps and checks and you’ll have a leak‑free breather hose replacement on a Hyundai Getz.
