Discontinued hose alternatives

[Pgy]

Hi guys!
I have to replace a hose in the engine block but it's discontinued and the dealer simply gave me this code and sent me on my way to look for it myself.

Mopar 53013094AC​

It seems no one has this part in stock and can't find it or replacements in the US or Italy. Anyone know of any alternatives or another solution? My car is from 2003 so i hope i can find something aftermarket but i don't get any results using this code.
Thank you!

It's only a breather hose, just buy some silicone hose with the same bore.

Don't see why it really needs to be silicone, as long as it's intended for oil.

Of course, it highlights an almost cultural difference in approach, as here in the UK we wouldn't expect to be able to find a Jeep dealer within striking distance, or any main dealer with any parts for, knowledge of or interest in anything much over 5 years old - so we're on our own right from the get go.

I said silicone because its easy to get hold of, oil proof & flexible, other hose may be too stiff.

I didn't think that would work. But i guess it's a good idea, thank you!

Better alternative, add a ProVent, it keeps the oil out of your CAC (intercooler)
Sasquatch sells a nice full install kit with hoses.

ProVent 200 Catch Can Kit for Jeep Liberty 2.8L CRD

Our Jeep Liberty CRD ProVent Kit prevents harmful oil vapors from making it into your intake, rotting hoses and clogging the engine with thick, oily sludge.

That's on another level! Thanks, i'll look into it! I don't mind upgrading where possible i'm just not knowledgeable enough.

how much difference does it actually make? for example Its been sludging up the cac/intercooler for 127k; if i change it now, will it actually make a difference going forward? power, efficiency, etc.?

As the engine wears the amount of oil blow by will increase, realistically it won't make a massive difference but I hate working on sticky black goo coated hoses so I'm ordering a provent clone, my EGR system has already been 'fixed'

haha 'fixed'
as in manufacturer defect
so the provent quits blowing oil, the egr delete quits blowing soot,and thus it eliminates all of the black goo in the intake, correct?

Yes that's the plan, let the engine have the clean inlet it is supposed to have.

sounds great, guess I'll start saving for that next....

A catch can is a catch can, I'm getting a cheap ebay clone, I can always add a stainless pan scrubber or 2 if it's not separating as much as it should.

@KJowner can you share what you found on catch can ebay clone ? Last Feb 23 i found things in Australia but freight cost... like you the EUR/USD change doesnt help me

 

[KJowner]

Certainly, there are lot's of clones on ebay...

The hose is blocked from the US market. I asked a bunch of suppliers, US and Europe, no luck. Can’t find a used one in my area either, and I can’t really afford the Provent bundle just yet.

Any ideas on what diameter silicone hose I should look for? I can’t find the info anywhere, even Mopar won’t help..

I’m hoping I can replace it with a silicone one for now, to get the Jeep going again. No idea what kind of tube I need, some are for water, some are not. Can I bend it myself or does it have to be already shaped?

Any link or suggestion would help!

Thanks to all who answered!
