Supercharged 2 Posted October 20, 2006 Welcome to the forum... What engine is it? Depending on where it is it may be drawing in unmetered air which will cause the idle to be lumpy... VW breather hoses are usually just standard rubber which altho isn't the best material to use, it's cheap and usually lasts 10 years before the rubber breaks down due to oil.

white mist 0 Posted October 21, 2006 Thanks Supercharged What material would be best? Does the material improve the performanced as it is so difficult to find parts in UK Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted October 21, 2006 so difficult to find parts in UK Eh? - engine parts are common to Golfs and almost everything is still available at the dealers... What engine is it? - If it;s straight pipe then silicon is the stuff to use but otherwise just get the correct pipe from VW, you won't see any performance difference between the two...
