Hi guys,

Been told by my Skoda dealer when I had the cambelt changed that my rocker cover breather pipe needs replacing, is it an easy DIY job and if so could someone help with info on where it is etc

Its a 2002 Octavia vRS

very easy mate - largish hose on the top of the engine connected to the air intake after the filter.

Squeeze that end and the clip comes off. Use a pair of pliers/mole grips to compress the clip on the other end and it's off.

To fit the new piece, dissasembly is (you know the rest).

HTH

There's a coupe of pics in there and part numbers.

Here's mine done. The old one just crumbled away. Guess the oily vapours kill the rubber. very quick job.

are they expensive? mine has gone all squidgy and soft. what problems could this cause? thanks in advance
