Looking for cracked breather pipe?

[MartIbiza]

Just read through previous thread about not getting the right mpg. I put 20 quid in the car yesterday and it showed just over 3/4 of a tank full. Only driven about 30 mile since yesterday and now i showing just over half a tank. Wondered if it was the guage but dont seem to be and wondered if it might be a cracked breather pipe. But does anyone know where i should be lloking for this as i don't have much of an idea? Cheers

Thanks a lot for that cus checked the pipe and its cracked at the base near the engine block. Any ideas how much the pipe is?

I have a split oil breather (if that is what is in question)

Is it worth replacing it then?

Also another point. £20 wont get you 3/4 of a tank full. It shows it initially but will drop to the correct level quickly. Especially with the fuel prices at the moment.

Mine goes up to 3/4 on £20 but is back down to 1/2 after about 10 miles.

i had a 1/4 of a tank in it anyway

Yes.

Yes.

Why thank you.

I think they are more like £25 than £5.
