Definitely replace the plastic drinking straw portion of the coolant vent hose when you're doing this. It's simple - 1/4" fuel line - 1 foot long, two hose clamps, two 1/4" barbed fittings for both ends of the hose that will replace the "straw"
Post some pictures of the hoses and there placement. I now have a f30 with a n55 so going to be doing some work on it in 2 weeks time.
