Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • Broken something...

    Long story short, my polo had a coil pack fail (replaced) and the dipstick guide shatter (replacement in the mail). I have removed bumper and radiator to make a clean swap of the dipstick guide.

    The vacuum resiviour brackets was too low to accommodate the taller new coil packs. So after scrolling through a ton of advice, of this forum and started to remove the SAI.

    As soon as I removed the air pump I noticed a large cracked pipe leading into what looks like the oil pump.

    What is it and how do I fix it?

    Regards, Karl

    Any ways, I can't put the vacuum system back I. The head because the vacuum resiviour brackets was too low to accommodate the taller new coil packs. So after scrolling through a ton of advice, of this forum and started to remove the SAI.

        No worries Karl. Watch out for lumps of the broken one going into the breather.

          So... I unclipped the breather and pulled out the broken bit. As you can see in the picture, a large chunk of plastic is still in the rim. A small number of plastic went in the hole when I pulled the cloth out.

          Is there an easier way to remove the plastic or do I have to pick it out?

          Thanks for reading... And not giving up on me yet.

            That the crankcase ventilation /breather tube and it fits into the oil filter housing. Keep the O-ring when you get the plastic bits out as the part you get to replace it with may not come with an O-ring. If that had been broken prior to the SAI removal then you've had a pretty big vacuum leak going on there for a while. You can get an oe replacement for the pipe or you can get a billet part that plugs onto the housing that has an -AN fitting in it if you feel like making up your own hose.
            I'd check the pcv while your in there. I've had 3 fail in the last 5 years. Just disconnect the line between the plenum and that crankcase hose and make sure that if you blow in the direction away from the plenum , that it won't pass air. If it does you are pumping boost into the block which = bad.
