Drove about 100 mile round trip yesterday, and 5 miles short of my home, my squareback stalled and would not restart. When I opened up the engine, the plastic cap from "unknown part" had popped off.

The "unknown part" is the thing in this picture with the pinkish hose connected to it.

My battery is very low right now as well, so I am thinking that it has something to do with the generator pulley/fan assembly, and that I may have just overheated and it would not restart because of the low battery.

The picture is not of my car, I just found one that I could use as an example

oil breather. The cap should not have popped off, thats an indicator of too much pressure, but that said maybe your cap is junk...


you should probably post a pic of your own engine
