Crankcase Breather Hose - direction
Now this may seem a stupid question to some, so, sorry.
On my 1.8T the breather hose from the crankcase to the inlet manifold has a small valve in it. I do realize that the idea of the breather is to vent the crankcase relieving the pressure, but as there is not a valve on my 1.8 NA, is it absolutely necessary? Investigating the possible further failure of the "head gasket" and having explained elsewhere, the crankcase cover had a build up of mayo, and I wondered, if it had been vented properly would these particles have been cycled round and burnt off? |

Standard fitment on 1.8T. Must be working and correct way round. Only allows flow into the inlet manifold from the cam covers. Easy to check, blow down it .
