oil breathers HELP!!!!!

[leebo20v]

hi guys just a quick one to rack your brains lol, i have recently replaced every single oil breather hose on my leon mk1 however the crankcase breather has just split again so would it be a better idea replace these with silicone hoses or an oil catch tank and would the catch tank remove these pipes. sorry if this sounds stupid haha but any help would be very grateful thanks.

Yes if its the hose off the crankcase then installing a catch tank would remove this as you would be changing the plumbing.

Awesome do a new hose, but a catch tanks would probably be cheaper to install, but on the downside, its needs maintenance.

thanks for your help and posting them links mate but i think ill stick to the direct replacement silicone hosing as fitting the catch tank looks way to complicated as im not that mechanically minded lol. thanks much appreciated

you can indeed get silicone versions of the pipe and it's the easiest solution

Actually cheaper than the OE pipe as well lol
