034 Breather hose kit

[A Banging Donk]

Hi guys,

Has anyone tried this breather hose kit made for the AMB engine?

How compatible would you expect this kit to be with a BFB engine?

Could anyone share their methods of dealing with a clogged breather system?

Worst thing I ever did was clean out all the breathers mate. I removed the hoses and left them in chemical degreaser for an hour and then blasted them through with water. When I put them back on I got the dreaded low oil pressure light on the dash within 100 metres of driving. I'd loosened up a load of cr ap which went down and blocked the oil pump pick up tube. Had to have the sump off then which is a big job.

Items definitely worth replacing are the hockey puck valve (PCV), secondary injection pump & one-way valve under the inlet manifold. Oh and the oil filter housing 90 degree breather pipe while you're there..

Cant help you with the compatibility question though, sorry.
