Title: Abf oil breather pipe
Post by: azzman88 on 12 January 2015, 21:26

Hi, I've just bought a 16v abf an realised the oil breather hose is perished an has been bodged with some leccy tape  :grin: got the part number and can only find one won the bay but its a rip off £28!!  :shocked: I've had to replace this part on my old mk3 back in 2009 an got it from the stealer for only £11, unsure if they still supply the part, I'm guessing not with the extortionate price this guys charging. Has anyone pucked one up recently? Many thanks

Am from Sweden, so i have no clue. Estemate guess: No (since it has proceeded from the range)

But why cant you just order it from VCP?

If it's on VW Classic it means it out of the dealer network!
See that £28 is cheap, VW classic know how to charge carriage costs (it makes businesses like mine seem expensive as we need to add that into the price we pay!!)

Yes they have sick shipping costs. I've only ordred one thing from there. The rear springs (who also was put out of range from the dealer). I wanted it 100% OEM since i had the front springs changed (the front springs you can still order from VW).

To sum it up. You do it good Mr  :smiley: And has 110% better customer service then VCP! (All comunication is in German, even if you type a question in english).
