Yesterday the dealer completed the Extended Warranty 205 - PCV Oil Trap and Vent job. I am a 99% DIY guy and rarely use the dealer. So I checked their work. One thing that I saw was that they used a zip tie to attach the upper hose to the PCV housing. I can push/ rotate the zip tie.

I am also not 100% sure that they installed the new upper vent hose. It is dusty as though it has been on the car for a while. I tried to squeeze the hose and was not able to squeeze it.

To me it should be a clamp but maybe the dealer feels that a clamp is too harsh for the housing neck. in the picture you can see the zip tie.

Good, bad and why didn't they use a regular connector. Plus the vent hose doesn't look new and feels hard.
