Title: Breather hose....
Post by: Veedubgt18v on 29 December 2003, 17:27
Where this goes into the rocker cover, the bit that goes inside has broken away so the pipe just sits on the hole, it is quite tight but wondered if this is something i should sort asap or can it wait for a couple of weeks?

Mine was worn, get a replacement from VW its only about 89p.

When you replace it remember to pull the other half out of the rocker cover ;)
