You sound like the wife whose husband always beats her, but its ok because "he loves me". 
The hose is a poorely engineered piece of shit. Just admit it. I have 20 year old hoses on my bronco that still work, including the PCV hose which BTW I could replace in about 10 minutes and that includes the time to open my first beer, finish it while working and go for a second. |
True, but it's not an overwhelmingly occurring problem, not everyone encounters it, and plenty of different cars suffer from this part. I'm surprised there aren't more actual valves getting clogged/broken and people just having to replace the hose. My only reason for getting a new one is already having the engine out. Well that and I broke the hose getting it out.
Don't get me started though on the pain that is FWD. I'd much rather argue about the engineering on that than a hose.
