it won't hurt anything... my new battery doesn't even have a vent for this tube. The only thing is you might have a hole in the bottom of your trunk where its drains to

i noticed it earlier today and didn't know what it was, so I just left it. I'm at work and made a post to figure out what it was. A nice member (obviously not you) answered my question. I'm still at work so I can't put it back on yet, and I just wanted to know if it did any harm because I have no idea how long its been off.

.... if it came with it, it must be of some importantance. u think gm would spend an estimate of 1$ one every cobalt they made for something u didnt need? no they try to eliminate costs. wasnt trying to be an ******* at all. sorry if it came out that way

GM = generic motors... they make the same part and put it in everything but my point is if a new battery doesn't have a breather port then it's not used. leave it in or take it out either way you have an open hole now FYI Do you really think they spent 1$ on every vent tube lol think about the hundreds of thousands they would have wasted then LOL google uses 30+ 4 doors for fleet cars to take google earth photos

somehow the plastic piece coming off of the battery connected to the tube broke on mine. probably when i was screwing around back there with my subwoofers. should i attempt to glue it back together or just screw it and leave it broken?

Ii know this an old thread but i didn't wanna make one. Do my car didn't wasn't to come on yesterday so i checked the battery since it had bad battery symptoms. The ground write was dirty so i cleaned it. I noticed the breather tube is broken and can't hook up to the battery. Is this what mightbe causing my car to crank but not start or crank allot before starting?
