I’ve seen places that carry the new plastic ring to secure the breather tube, but not the fitting itself. I have a thread going on chasing a P0130 code and found a decent leak at the fitting with my smoke tester. The hose is good and locks in fine but something is leaking a decent amount. Is this fitting removable/replaceable?

 

Supercharger tube clip -- WayMotorWorks has these clips for $44 shipped. An absolutely ridiculous, and insulting, price to be sure but they're no longer available via OEM sources. You might check with RPM Mini Parts & Service in Irving, TX. They carry quite a few used parts and might be able to help.

 

I believe there's an o ring inside there check to see if it's still in place, the red clip will come out.

I source them at junkyards, they do not even charge me for them

 

I'll pull it apart to see if I can clean the oring. I should have measured the diameter of that tube. I have all sorts of pushlock fittings at work. Do you know if that whole fitting is removable?

 

F.Y.I. for all you Mini owners out there with 3D printers: This would be a very lucrative part to print and sell on this forum as it's no longer available as an OEM option via the dealer.

 

it's also not a good candidate for printing, too small, must flex to snap in without breaking

 

I have piles of SMC push-loc fittings at work just none in 9mm. I'd pipe thread a fitting in there before paying $44 for one of those clips!!! I didn't try too hard to remove the fitting - it spins, but doesn't seem to thread out. I applied sealant around the edge since I couldn't see if it was leaking at the hose connection or around the base. I also cleaned the oring without removing it. Worst case - I'll JB weld that tube in there!

 

There are 3D print filaments with inherent flexibility:
