Guest Biaggi Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 Hello, recently I've noticed that the plastic part (ring) marked in the first 3 pictures broke. I can here the air flow there and you can see oil all over that part.I thought that this part itself can be replaced but when I asked VW service they told me that it's only a part of the integrated whole which has to be replaced (see below)Any proposals? The VW service's advice is rather expensive, I hope there is a cheaper solution, besides I heard that it (the part in 3rd picture) should be removed as it causes that the engine gets dirty air with oil Link to post Share on other sites
SiGainey 1 Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 Goto ford for that part - it's about 15 quid if I remember rightly Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Biaggi Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 one more question; if I delay doing sth with this and keep driving then will it affect the car somehow? Link to post Share on other sites
xyber 1 Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 Its basically a valve for the engine oil gases to get recycled back into the system I think. When I fitted my supercharger I took mine off and just have a pipe running from there to the charger intake pipe.They are cheap from ford, but take the old one with you to match up as there are 2 differently shaped versions. I got a quote from VW and they charge & times more than Ford!!! Worth doing asap just incase as its connected to the vacuum pipes it might start causing running problem Link to post Share on other sites

djpaul123 0 Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 Think this maybe a common problem? Mines also gone, thanks H19LNE for the part number Link to post Share on other sites
vr6newcomer 1 Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 You dont need oil going back into your throttlebody mate, u have a few options, get the new part, or run a pipe from the breather to the underside of your car, and block the other end up, or you can invest in an oil catch tank that will breathe back to atmosphere, in my opinion, your better off without it, like i said before, all you want going through your throttlebody is bloody cold air!

Guest Biaggi Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 do you know what's the max temperature running through this valve? Link to post Share on other sites
drue1 0 Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 mine has loads of oil gunk around mine should i also change mine ?? Link to post Share on other sites
H19LNE 0 Posted August 10, 2007 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 If it aint broke den you dont need 2 get a new 1. Just wipe it of with a cloth shouldn't make any difference if u change it 4 a new 1. Chances r d new 1 will get some oil around it later on. Link to post Share on other sites
