PCV vavle hose filter?

[scld1354]

Luckily, I have had no problems with the Liberty lately. I just finished changing the oil, filter and air filter. While changing the air filter I noticed a little sponge-type filter in the air box. It's oily, and I think it's time to change it. The problem is, I don't know what its called. I searched on here and found one thread that referred to it as the "PCV valve hose". I can't find any replacement for that part. Does anybody know where I can get a replacement?

Just clean it up in some soapy water and rinse it out.

sounds easy. If I rip it or something, how would I get a new one?

I can't seem to find it anywhere online.

I did see where one guy got a replacement at the dealer but he said it was over priced for what it is. One guy bought a lawnmower filter and cut it to size. Other than that every post just suggested cleaning it.

Oh, and apparently everyone refers to it as Sponge Bob.

yes, its just a typical air filter sponge, the lawn mower idea isnt bad, thats all it is.

That's real good to know. Thanks for the input.

Mr Sponge Bob can easily be replaced with another sponge!
Cut to size & voilla just like new.

Could always fit up something like this if you want something with better filtering qualities:

Thats the first website I picked, but those are available pretty much anywhere.

Ya "that other guy" might have been me .. IRC they wanted 6 bucks for it at the dealership ...lol. I made a new one out of similarly porous filter material. Long live Sponge Bob!
