Getting parts together to do the PVC system because I found a huge crack in the main breather tube. The prices for those little things are ridiculous. Anywhere from $17-25 each.

...and thanks again Joe@Axis, the new motor mount is in and the car feels a lot better.

Default that's the breather tube seal :-) You mean 058-905-291. $16/each from 1stvwparts

AEB engines only use 3, IIRC. There's a write-up that calls for 4, but it's on an ATW engine.

Default Thanks, copied the wrong one. :-)

I was going by this write up... <a href="http://www.scottweese.com/images/pcv/pcv.html">Complete 1.8T PCV System DIY (AEB)</a>

It shows 4.

Even $16 is more than I want to pay for those valves. :-)

Default that's what I used. I think this is the one you won't find on AEBs
