So its not really needed ?

Is that also an Oil breather Valve. I assume its need as mine is also broke and air is leaking from the valve part.

i think it is needed but ford do the part a lot cheaper than vw, im sure on this site somewhere is the part number, i would take it to a ford parts department, i think they charge about £27 IIRC and vw charge £70................ :-p

if you just block that pipe off it eventually causes issues because the engine cant breathe properly also ive found it causes them to cream up the oil a little because there not breathing properly.imo its worth the cash that it costs for the breather valve because its meant to be there also if you leave the valve off and put rubber hose straight through you tend to get more oil in your throttle body so you have to clean it out more often .

if you ditch it you need to block it off at the big air intake pipe and add a breather filter on to the rocker cover (or better still run a length of hose to the wing with a breather filter on otherwise your car will stink of oil)

binliner does a breather filter look like a mini k&n

cone filter per chance?
