Product Description

The Arrowhead Breather Box on Engine Block is an essential component designed to manage crankcase ventilation in Volkswagen engines. It helps to separate oil vapours from the air within the engine block, preventing oil leaks and maintaining optimal engine pressure. This breather box is constructed from durable plastic and features integrated O-ring seals for a proper fit and effective sealing.

This breather engine component is specifically suited for select Volkswagen models. Before ordering, please confirm your vehicle's model, year, engine size, and engine code to ensure compatibility. This part is commonly found on popular Volkswagen vehicles such as certain Golf, Jetta, and Polo models, where maintaining correct crankcase pressure is vital for engine performance.

Typical symptoms of a faulty breather box include excessive oil consumption, oil leaks near the engine block, rough idling, increased exhaust smoke, poor engine performance, and a strong smell of oil vapour. You may also notice a check engine light or increased pressure in the crankcase, which can lead to further engine issues if not addressed.

Replacement of the breather box is recommended when you observe these symptoms or during routine engine maintenance. Timely replacement helps prevent oil contamination, pressure build-up, and potential engine damage. Always ensure the new part is installed with undamaged seals for optimal operation.
