Hey everyone,

My car is making the "blow off" sound even though I have the stock BOV and the car is essentially stock (TBE, MBC). I had the same problem once before and it was one of the hoses going to the BOV that popped off. This time though, ive checked and double checked every connection I can think of through the system and it seems like everything seems fine, can't find any disconnected hoses. Any ideas?

*EDIT*

Forgot to mention, I already searched and it kept coming up with millions of threads about aftermarket BOV's and not technical problems.

*EDIT 2*

PROBLEM SOLVED

After my fourth time checking now I noticed one of the clamps that I couldn't see well looked loose, so I felt under the bottom and the hose was slipping off on the bottom.
