Fitment: Fits selected models across Audi, Seat, and Volkswagen. Confirm exact fitment before ordering.
Product Description
This Arrowhead hose breather to valve cover is designed to manage crankcase ventilation in selected Audi, Seat, and Volkswagen engines. It routes blow-by gases from the engine’s breather system back to the valve cover, helping to maintain optimal engine performance and emissions. The hose features a flexible construction with a protective outer sleeve and precisely molded plastic ends, ensuring a secure and reliable connection between the breather and valve cover.
Fitment covers a range of Audi, Seat, and Volkswagen models equipped with 1.9 and 2.0 TDI engines. Always confirm your vehicle’s model, year, engine size, and engine code before ordering, as breather hose configurations can vary even within similar models.
Common symptoms of a faulty breather hose include rough idling, increased oil consumption, oil leaks around the valve cover, poor engine performance, check engine warning lights, and visible cracks or splits in the hose itself. Unresolved breather hose issues can also lead to excessive engine fumes and potential contamination of the intake system.
Replace the breather hose if you notice any visible damage, oil seepage, or symptoms like rough running and increased emissions. Regular inspection and timely replacement help prevent further engine complications and ensure your vehicle’s breather system works as intended.

Typical replacement guidance
