Needed:mk2 gti crankcase breather hose

[Jimmytno1]

Hi all, am in desperate need of a crankcase breather hose for a 1989 mk2 golf gti 16v, have looked all over the net for one and tried main dealer but no joy so far, if anyone has one or knows where I could get one I would be very gratefull, also what problems could I expect running with one that is split in several places and has been repaired several times over the years?

'They all do that sir' - hose is crap and splits all the time. Throws nasty oil vapour into the inlet too.

Most people vent this to atmosphere. I used a 2 quid bit of hose from GSF and a 5 quid filter from ebay.

As DrG has said most 16v owners give up on them and nearly all dont run the breather into the air box as it will clog it up with oily residue and eventually clog the throttle body.

i run the rubber hose chopped down a bit with a plastic pipe coming out of it that goes into the side of a pepsi bottle to act like a catch tank.

If however you really want yours to look original im certain i have a couple of spare ones so sure you can have one for some beer tokens.

il have look in my parts collection tonight or over the weekend and let you know.

Its the one that comes from the front of the block under the water pipe it then connects to the small pipe on the inlet manifold between cylinders 1 an 2 and then connects into the air box - right?
