GT oil breather pipe and expansion tank pipe

Featured Replies

I'm after...

The pipe that goes from the expansion tank down to the pipe thing on the block (GT/NZ/G40).

The pipe that goes from the big flexi air intake and down under the mani to whatever it connects to (GT).

Need these asap

what do you mean by water housing mate? i've got hose from the expansion tank to the thermostat housing but it's from an spi, is this not the same as the GT's ones?

  • Author

The Gt one is different for some strange reason

The join from the rubber pipe to the metal pipe on the block is in a different place, the SPI one isnt long enough

I have bodged a old MK2 pipe on but its too small a bore and its a bit old, so cant see it lasting too long.

And the water housing is the plastic thing on the side of the head, has lots of inlets n outlets, holds the thermostat and both blue n black temp sensors.

Again, this is different on the SPI to the GT one. The spi has an extra hole in it for something.

i can't help you then mate :-(

No worries dude

I'm ordering the water housing new form VW tomorrow probably

Figured id get this up here for 12 hours before just encase anybody has one lying around (as i missed the 2 for sale before poloshow)

Will still need the pipes though

You can use the AAV one mate. Just connect a hose between the two bits that are usually blocked off on the GT. Use jubilee clips too.

I thought it had just 1 extra hole?

If its 2 then bonus, I'll sort it later today :D

The GT has 2 blocked off holes. I have used an AAV item before and just looped them round. If you can use a genuine item it's job done!

Gotta be someone with that oil breather pipe???? Amount of people that have done bike carb conversion's that no longer need the pipe.....

Pllleeaassseeeee!!!!

I have it on backorder from VW, but we all know what that could mean.

I ordered a pipe from a seller on eBay thats supposedly a replacement and its nothing like and far too small.

I managed to get one of them from a motor factors a while back, eurocarparts iirc
