I have a split hose with air hissing out just to the right of the dipstick, it connects to the underside of manifold thing behind the dipstick then runs along to the right and down and connects to the rest of the breather pipes. Been to the Seat dealer and they cant find a part number for this bit of pipe, although there parts diagram seemed to leave alot to be desired! they can only sell me a full set of pipes which seems a bit OTT, anyone had this problem? or know the part number for the pipe? or where to get one.
Under the plastic head cover is the v shape pipe one piece goes into the side of the head & the other goes straight down & connects to the other pipe that goes down under the dipstick . If thats the the one thats split it`s about £30 , as I replaced mine in december . If that`s the one i`ll try & find the reciept with the part No , awkward to fit though but no more petrol vapour through the vents
Have a look at my recent threads... Ive just replaced the part myself on my 2002 Cupra... was £12 from SEAT...
No mate its not that one. The one i'm after comes from under the inlet manifold and joins into the block breather pipe. The picture you have there is where the block and head breather meet.
I replaced that v pipe , £30 . The one it connects onto with the clip , £30 also , was the one I thought it might have been as i`ve just replaced that as well
Yup thats the one I did ... be aware that you'll probably snap the dipstick guide when replacing it ...

as on the pic above ive just had to replace that pipe to it was £30 and ive got to replace the pipe that join on to that one too which goes down and alone the inlet that pipe is £30 too i will be ordering it this month if you want to part number give me a pm
Yep indeed thats the one, do you have your receipt or the part number by any chance? I even found it on the vagcat exploded diagram its item 26 but there no part number for it. I even printed it off and took it to the dealer and they still couldn't find it. I get the impression they are not trying very hard and want me to book the car in.

Just getting it for you... replacing the pipe makes a HUGE different to how the car runs
YOUR THE MAN! if thats the right part number I owe you several pints
It is... I took the old pipe off to get the part number... its the pipe that goes front inlet manifold to a green plastic connector. Its an oil breather pipe.
Cheers mate, I will get back on to the Seat dealer tomorrow I will let you know how I get on. I know I could have used any piece of hose but the problem is it's in such an awkward place to get too, and I didn't want to risk taking it off and end up with the car not running as I need it for work every day. It's limping around with the management light on at the moment and various errors logged about irratic idle speed, low airflow errors and petrol mix too leane. Both hoses have gone that one and the 3 way one on top of the engine which Seat have already ordered. So I'm hoping this will sort it all out.
Thanks again mate.
Thanks again mate.
Me again! Finally got the pipes from the dealer and they look like the right one's yippee! So plan on tackling it tomorrow, my next question is my brother has lent me a box to rest the management system, It has just 2 buttons "Erase" and "Reset" and a load of LED's. Which order do I press the buttons in or do I just press one of them? I read something somewhere about "do not" completely clear the memory.
