Oil breather hose and air box pipe?

Hello :-)

I'm trying to source a couple of parts for my 1984 1.9 watercooled (think its a DG?)...


The oil breahter hose which goes into the air box above carb?

Also the rubber pipe which goes from the air filter box, into the air box above carb? (Approx 60mm diameter, 100mm length)


I've found the breather pipe on JK but its just under £60... seems stupidly expensive for a little rubber hose!?

Done a bit of Googling and found what I believe to be the right part for £30 http://www.brickwerks.co.uk/index.php?p ... t&Itemid=3" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Can't seem to find the second part anywhere (air filter to air box above carb). Does anyone know where I could get one? Also are there any other suppliers for a breather hose?

Many thanks :D

My pipe had gone soft and collapsed. I have used a convoluted pipe fron a batroom sink overflow pipe. The diamiter was just right and being black it dose not look out of place and it cost me nothing. Happy days.

go to a scrappy and ask if you can have a wander around. So many hoses and pipes just disguarded. I've never been anywhere else for mine

If you mean the large concertina-like rubber air pipe, this can still be bought new from VW (or at least it could a year or so ago when I got one). Dont think it was very expensive.
