    Exclamation HELP!!! VXSS went to Holden came back worse

    HI Guys - we desperately need some help
    We just had the VX in Holden getting the oxygen sensors replaced and it has come back with clunk in engine, no power and air sucking noise coming from hose as shown on picture - the hose looks like it has been clamped with a hole either side. What we need to know is will driving it like this damage the engine as it needs to go back to Holden in the morning. It is under warranty so all costs are theirs.
    PLEASE HELP!!!!!

    CHeers Mike and Lish

    Its the PCV hose collapsed, its a common thing, no real drama, it makes it run lean due to a vacuum leak, if the car still has warranty you will get a new type pipe to replace it. Dont stress about it its nothing major & wont hurt it ok
