Hello, I have opted to replace my crankcase breather pipe since it is an inexpensive, fast, and uncomplicated procedure.
I have seen many videos, but all featured n47 engines, and the issue is located next to the oil filler cap.
I went to do my task, but there are several hoses, and I cannot locate the one I want.
I examined the realoem website, and it seems to be located underneath the air pipe. Is that accurate? Once again, I find myself impeded by a straightforward preventive duty.

Thank you for your response, but where can I locate it? Is it located underneath that air pipe?
It is located just in front of the oil filler lid on n47 and is completely visible.

However, if you remove the oil filler by unscrewing it and twisting it a quarter turn, you could get access without detaching the air intake.

Indeed, on the N57, it is concealed behind the intake pipe, making it less noticeable than on the N47. You must relocate that pipe to access it.
