You know the crankcase vent tube? The Y hose? Was just quoted $144 for it by the dealer. No way, I'll make one for under $10!

You'll notice any hose from VW or aftermarkets that have more that a single through hose are extremely high priced.  I bought a top rad hose for my G60 a few years ago and it was over $230.00.  You're much better off making it yourself, then you know where you can get replacements later if needed.

I have some used ones but need them for my ECO Turbo Diesel. I run press in 911 oil squirters in the VW desert race engines which are $30.00 each from Porsche.
