Seriously need a breather pipe!! Dealers say they are all on back order and hav had a look on ebay and no luck, any other places I could try as car been off the road for too long now

 

[crezz]

get some silicon hose mate, measure up the diameter, and go from there,

i also need a crankcase breather pipe and have tried the stealers with no luck either, anyone know the diameters yet? i spose i could get off my arse and go it measure myself

 

[Dave_R]

You look out for a Mk2 Ibiza or Mk3 Golf breaking on eBay.... may have some luck

Iv got the part number if u want it??

 

[critch4]

iv got the part number ta, dealer says they're all on backorder like you said, its not like its a particularly rare or old car!

Dave - i may resort to this but im guessing a lot of crankcase breathers will be starting to perish now so i might be wasting my time there

we talking about the one at the front of engine goes into that box? by the dipstick??

 

[critch4]

yea

 

[caztech]

Well I got told mine was ordered my dealer a month ago, and supposedly they never ordered it, total pain

 

[Big-Pete]

just checked my pipe turns out there a minimal bitr of silicone and the rest is BLACK DUCT TAPE ! meh it will be fine

i agree with the silicone pipe aswell. and if worse comes to worse and you cant get a good tight fit then use heat shrink. works a treat at forming a good seal.

managed to get sumthn made up at work, so mobile again

 

[cheesyquaver]

good to hear mate! tell us what u used then. always comes in handy to have a backup plan

 

[caztech]

I just put together two bits of radiator hose, which was the similar shape and size of the orignal pipe, used a bigger bit for going to the crankcase and then put a smaller elbow shaped pipe inside it. Works a treat, will try and get a picture up

 

[caztech]

Now have 2 breather pipes, so if anyone needs a pipe I have 1 spare

mine was perished, so took it out cut the bad piece out, the used a piece of flanged copper elbow from B&Q, and a couple o jubilee clips, works a treat..
