flipb 0 Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 Hi, As a new owner of a Golf VR6, I am hoping you guys may be able to help me with identifing a part and possibly where I can source one from. The part in Question is 021129101A and it is a breather valve of some kind, whihc I believe is connected to the head/rocker cover? Any ideas where I can get one of these from? Cheers.

craggsy 91 Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 VW or TPS sell em but ask for the Sharon as it comes separately from some reason whereas if you ask for the golf it comes with the black inlet pipe.Or go into ford and ask for the PCV valve from the v6 galaxy as its the vr6 engine Link to post Share on other sites
russj249 2 Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 They are pretty expensive from VW, but you can get the same thing from Ford for much cheaper, as its the same setup as on the Ford Galaxy VR6.I think you can get the from TPS too.The valve is on the top left of the engine, from the rocker cover to the intake pipe. Very common to split. Link to post Share on other sites

flipb 0 Posted March 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 Perfect. Thanks so much. It's the first job of many I have to do. Ithe rear passenger side window wouldn't work and started to drop last week so I took the door panel off to fi d that a piece of carpet gripper had een tie wrapped to stop it coming down. I got the mechanism out of the door though and found that the hexagonal lug on the cable would not locate in the window carrier so I made up a clip to captivate it. It all works lovely now. The next job I think I need to do is replace the heat exchanger. I am losing water from the engine coolant bottle and when I put the heater to warm. It's steams up the whiole car. Is it a big job to replace the heat exchanger or Could it be done easily. Cheers. Link to post Share on other sites
russj249 2 Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 Unfortunately, the heater matrix is a dash out jobby pretty involved to change really. Link to post Share on other sites
flipb 0 Posted March 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 I feared as much. :-( but thanks for confirming it. Link to post Share on other sites
flipb 0 Posted March 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 I should have asked before but, who are TPS and where could I get a heat exchanger from? Thanks guys. Link to post Share on other sites
ssaunders 199 Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 Hi, had mine changed last year i there is a decent picture guide somewhere, cant find the link but google heater matrix removal. vaelo do a replacement try GSF. one point when its being done you may have to take a connector from the old one and duplicate a hole and fit it to the new (its a vacuum hose for the recirc button) if you have aircon its more difficult. why not bypass it and get it done in better weather (no hot air though!)

russj249 2 Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 TPS are Trade Parts Specialist.. they have branches all over the place, so probably best have a search on the net for your nearest one. An aftermarket one from GSF or Euro Car Parts type retailer as said in the post above will be cheaper though. But worth a price from as many places as possible. Link to post Share on other sites

gino 0 Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 hiJust to bring this post up to date part number 021129101A, has now been discontinued by VW as a single part. The same part that you could get from Ford which was compatible, has also been discontinued as a single separate part, it is now only available as a complete full breather pipe unit......The good news is that VW charge £125.00 for the complete part and ford are charging £274.00,also TPS can only supple the full unit now best price £100.00Sorry for being the bearer of the bad news, you could try to locate a used part from another source but is it really worth the hassle and you're cash.

Buk 0 Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/161168587564Sent from your mums iPhone using TapatalkJust read your post and was wondering why u decided to change this part out? Wot were the symptoms? My car's running like a bag of nails once upto temperature. Changed leads, plugs coilpack etc and it's not any of these. Have been informed it could be an air leak was wondering if it could be this part that's goosed? Cheers Euan Link to post Share on other sites
