Whilst changing the cam cover gasket on my 1.8t, I noticed that the metal breather pipe from the front to back of the engine and the rubber connector to the n/s of the engine block and cam cover were absolutely solid with gunk/****/oil.Having cleaned them out totally, I could only clear so much from the pipe into the engine on the n/s - question is without disconnecting all sorts of pipes and wires is there any way of clearing this out? would a small amount of degreaser poured into the pipe clear enough without problems then with the oil in the engine?
