MarksMintness 0 Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 Hi guys,My cam cover breather hose is split (apparently) and the car has a frequent beat/blip at idle due to the unmetered air entering the system.I have been told this is dangerous as the car will be running lean and cylinder head temps could be higher etc... So I need to buy the £85 kit from VW.I have been told that the Ford Galaxy V6 Inlet Tract is the same part (same engine) and is like half the price, is this true? Also is it an easy enough job to swap out with basic mechanical skills?Or is it a right pig?Any comments and help appreciated!Cheers! Link to post Share on other sites
thegoth 5 Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 hi, your information is correct regarding the ford part. VW also do it on it's own under a sharan part number ( I think ). there's a list of part numbers stickied in the dub chat forum.alternativly plug the hole in the intact pipe and vent the cam cover to a can, red bull seems to be the beverage of choice ;-)plug and play. you may need a jubilee clip to attach it to the cam cover.

MarksMintness 0 Posted October 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 Thanks guys, that's great!Does it make a difference if my car is an OBD1? Does the Ford part still apply?Also are the parts easy enough to swap, are they accessible etc?Cheers! Link to post Share on other sites
Dave_ciw 507 Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 Theres just 2 jubilee clips each side and a male n female plug set up. Link to post Share on other sites
