Product Description
This Arrowhead hose breather to valve cover is an essential part of your engine's ventilation system, designed to route crankcase gases safely back into the engine for re-combustion. It helps maintain proper pressure within the engine and prevents the buildup of harmful gases. The hose features a flexible ribbed section, specialised plastic connectors on both ends, and integrated sealing rings to ensure a secure, leak-free fit.
This breather hose is compatible with selected Audi and Volkswagen models. Typical applications include models like the Audi A3, TT, and various Volkswagen vehicles such as the Golf VII, Polo AW, and Tiguan, with 1.8 and 2.0 engines. Always confirm your vehicle’s model, year, engine size, and engine code before ordering to ensure correct fitment.
Common symptoms of a failing breather hose include rough idling, poor engine performance, oil leaks around the valve cover, increased oil consumption, check engine light illumination, and a noticeable oil smell in the cabin. You may also notice hissing noises from the engine bay or visible cracks and wear on the hose itself.
Replace the breather hose if you observe any of these symptoms or during routine maintenance if the hose appears brittle, cracked, or oil-soaked. Timely replacement helps prevent vacuum leaks and maintains proper engine operation.
