FenderSi 0 Posted March 14, 2013 I have just noticed that the pipe between the air filter trunking and the top of the head if broken. The connector is actually blanked of in the pipe so I'm assuming it doesn't actually do much. VW don't stock or sell the part and more and neither do GSF. I guess someone probably makes a replacement of some sort or somewhere someone has a spare one? Can anybody help please? It is broken right at the top between the start of the pipe and the valve at the top... Any help is as always, much appreciated!! Thanks, Simon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stonejag 10 Posted March 15, 2013 Are you talking about the corrugated pipe to the PCV valve? If so then yes, there's an answer... Remove all the pipework and the valve and fit a straight hose from the inlet elbow to the valve cover. Plug the vacuum leak by running a second hose from the inlet port on the head (next to throttle body, near the driver's side) to the carbon canister valve (blue thing on offside suspension strut with pipes leading to the carbon canister under the airbox). 42draft designs make a kit with a metal pipe in (link[/url[) or you can just use a bit of silicone hose instead - mine came in the Roose Motorsport hose kit and I think they sell them individually... You'll need to remove it and clean out the oily gunk every six months or so, just give it a blast of some brake cleaner. Worth thinking about replacing the inlet elbow when you do this, the rubber ones are slightly more robust than the corrugated plastic ones but they're still ****. Luckily 42draft also make a metal inlet elbow, Awesome GTi are the UK stockists. Here's my bay with both! Stone Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chaos3oe 0 Posted March 15, 2013 (edited) VW do not sell this on it's own, only the complete elbow. Ford do (or did a few years ago when I got my last one), for a Galaxy VR6. Think the Ford part number is -7364573 :valve assembly for a galaxy v6 circa 1996-onwards Edited March 15, 2013 by chaos3oe Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FenderSi 0 Posted March 17, 2013 Awesome guys, thanks very much. I'll have a crack at it in the week. Now found a water leak on one of the lower coolant pipes too...Gotta love Corrados!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Think the Ford part number is -7364573 :valve assembly for a galaxy v6 circa 1996-onwards I found the same. Takes the pi55 really Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FenderSi 0 Posted March 18, 2013 The valve assembly is £46.96 includin VAT from Ford. I'm sure that can't be the right part?! It's a tiny plastic valve with a tube!??? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GusPW 0 Posted March 18, 2013 VW do not sell this on it's own, only the complete elbow. Ford do (or did a few years ago when I got my last one), for a Galaxy VR6. Think the Ford part number is -7364573 :valve assembly for a galaxy v6 circa 1996-onwards That part number is just the PCV valve, bought one last week. I looked at the connecting pipe on screen but it looked like it wouldn't fit because the airbox and intake arangement looked different on the galaxy. For another 40 odd quid it also wasn't worth a punt! I'm pretty sure I've seen a PCV delete pipe on VW classic parts. If I find it I'll post it up, that will be the route I'll go down if another PCV splits on me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FenderSi 0 Posted March 18, 2013 I called up and gave that part number and he told me that price. How much did you pay? I'll have a look around once I've sorted my new water leak. That's a bit more pressing at the moment!! Cheers in advance tho if you do find the delete pipe. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stonejag 10 Posted March 19, 2013 One being sold on here for £10... http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?78586-vr-bits-and-bobs-more-added Stone Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's a bit more pressing at the moment!! Cheers in advance tho if you do find the delete pipe. I paid the same as you were quoted, but it is just the valve. the pipe that looks like the jobby on classic parts is 021103493A vent pipe. 19.61 EUR. I've just inadvertently bought one of a forum member as it was attached to a rubber inlet pipe I Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CazzaVR 0 Posted March 19, 2013 Worth trying VW- ask for the Sharan VR6 valve. They were selling these a couple of years ago seperately. The Ford part was £20, but like a lot of their parts, it's gone up loads in the last couple of years :( TBH, I would delete it, as Stone has if you can't get one for a decent price. The early VR6s didn't have them anyway. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FenderSi 0 Posted March 19, 2013 Would you be interested in selling it to me Gus? Do you mean the delete pipe or a spare PCV valve? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GusPW 0 Posted March 19, 2013 its the delete pipe but I'm afraid I'm keeping hold of it now as its only matter of time before my new pcv splits again. sorry. might be worth checking some breaking threads for early vr6's. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
