Split bloody crankcase breather hose!

[sargey]

mine has a hole in and inside is nasty nasty nasty with oil and crustyness!!! part number
06A103221AH

split is right on the corner of the hose that comes out of the top of the engine,

Can i drive it even though ive wrapped around a shed load of PTFE tape and then insulation tape around it?

Because i cant get a new one until tuesday from the stealers and a VW breakers say they dont have them as its an AUDI part and AUDI breakers dont have them because they are prone to perishing.
went to bristol just to get sweet FA!!

i had same prob it eventually depleted itself and bits of black got into head of car not sure if any damage but get part asap

These hoses are garbage quality and very expensive (£80+), far better to spend £10 on a metre of oil hose and a T-piece and DIY.

 

[The MoffMeister]

£80 you sure rob? thought mine was only £30 odd??

but like he says they are crap

Hose

Mine went on my octy vrs about 3 weeks ago.They are just under £30 including the vat,which i thought was expensive.

 

[sargey]

£25 from stealers so they say, i would DIY it but i dont know what to buy and where to buy it

I just took mine to local hardware/engineering supplier to get some jubilee clips that fitted,then it was a straight swap over.

 

[RobDon]

You need 19mm (3/4") oil/water/heater hose and a 19mm T-piece and some hose clamps, around £15 for it all, will last alot longer than the factory piece too!

 

[sargey]

well ive done it, went down to the motor factors and got some silicon hose cant remember what diameter but put it this way, the 17-25mm jubilee clips(think thats the size) only just fit over it lol. its tight like a virgin but it wont be comin off too quick thats for sure!!
had to mod my engine cover too

Looks good

Sorry to resurrect an old thread but at a recent service they pointed out that my oil breather pipes were perishing and on their way out. Presumably it's this one which looks pretty easy to change, are there any others that are likely to fail at around the same time that I might need to change? I haven't got much more or time at the moment but could do with sorting this out before it fails and pisses oil all over the place.

Cheers.

I've been suffering with the same issues. I've had three new oil breathers fitted in 3 months. The one into the cam cover is a common fault. I think Seat make them out of chocolate. Mine went a day before i was due to go to RWYB at santa pod

I wish i'd gone down the silicone replacement route but didn't have time to source the parts Ended up paying £50 to have it changed at my last service

I've just checked the invoice from my service and they've marked that it's the breather hoses underneath the inlet manifold that are showing signs of leaking, so not the same one then. Has anyone had to replace the ones underneath the inlet manifold?

:eureka:

I think this might be what is causing the rather oily smell I've been getting in the car recently..... will pop out and have a look at lunchtime

yep.

had one of those split

 

[sargey]

just do a mod like mine! same price as a standard oem hose but will last longer

ressurecting an old thread here but' this has happened to mine, exactly the same as in post 12 in the picture, does anyone know the dimentions of the hose needed and what parts I.E T-peice etc for defo as need to replace ASAP

 

[andyj]

as per post # 3 above, you need 19mm hose, and a 19mm T-piece

 

[paul26982]

cheers andy, didnt know if that was a defo, you know the approx length, going to order now

 

[andyj]

You should be fine with 1m of the hose, probably the minimum you can order anyway!
