Product Information

This breather hose is routed around the front of the intake manifold under the engine cover to the right valve cover.

Chassis Range: From 000 001

Engine Crankcase Breather Hose

An engine crankcase breather hose is a primary component of an engine’s positive crankcase ventilation system, funneling pressurized air from the engine crankcase to the air/oil separator, also known as the PCV valve. The PCV valve, or air/oil separator, is designed to capture and remove oil vapors from the pressurized crankcase air, allowing them to drain back to the engine, while the pressurized air is fed to the intake side of the engine and utilized as part of normal combustion.

An engine develops positive crankcase pressure as a byproduct of the overall combustion process. Because of the combination of pressure, heat, and the air/oil-vapor mixture traveling to the PCV valve, the engine crankcase breather hose is a common failure item within the PCV system and is crucial to your car’s engine’s performance and emissions compliance.

Engine Crankcase Breather Hose Failure Symptoms
  • Cracks breaks, leaks: Over time, your engine crankcase breather hose can be easily damaged because of constant exposure to oil vapors, heat, and pressure from the engine. The engine oil can slowly break down the plastic or rubber materials, eventually causing an air leak. This can happen naturally, or because it is damaged from external contact.
  • Broken connectors: Plastic can become brittle over time, especially when exposed to heat and oil, and it’s easy to break one of the securing clips or connectors for a PCV hose, either during removal or during other services.
  • Broken or damaged hose: Soft rubber or brittle plastic, depending on the material of the hose, can result in an obvious hole or split in an engine crankcase breather hose, usually accompanied by one of the other faults listed below.
  • Check Engine Light: Excessive unmetered air from a failed engine crankcase breather hose can result in a CEL for an air intake leak fault or other airflow-related diagnostic trouble codes.
  • Misfire: A severe air intake leak can cause rough running and an engine misfire, a common side effect of a bad engine crankcase breather hose or PCV Valve
  • Oil residue on or around the hose or adjacent components: As engine crankcase vapors escape from a faulty engine crankcase breather hose, the hose, engine block, and adjacent components are likely to become visibly soiled with oil residue and moisture. In the most severe cases, you will smell burning or burnt oil, and you may need to degrease the area to determine the exact cause of the oil residue.

O-ring issue
I also had to use extra zip ties to force it to go where I wanted (tried heating and bending but that didn't work). I'm hoping heat cycles will make if conform, making it stay even if the zip ties break. But a more serious issue is the groves for the o-rings are not as deep as OE, and the o-rings are a wee bit thicker. I was still able to install it on the valve cover, but the other end was impossible for me - way too tight. I had to find a thinner o-ring to get it to fit.

Fitted perfectly. This stopped the fault code of vacuum leak. Great! You will need to slightly bend the both ends to be able to fit in the bracket on the engine, but does fit. Great price and great quality.

Not quite OE fit but close
This hose did the job but it's not quite as nice a fit as the OE VW unit. It required a little extra twist and a few zip ties to keep it pulled into place. I think after a few engine heat cycles it'll mold into the correct shape. I still consider it a 5 star fitment seeing the ends snapped in correctly and the length was correct.
