Volkswagen Breather Hose

Creating more engine horsepower is more than just having all those high performance components-you also need to allow your car to breathe easier. This can be done through the help of your car intake system. It is a collection of car components that ensures that right amount of air gets into the engine cylinders for a more efficient fuel burn. Outside air has to first pass through a series of tubes and filters before it gets into your engine cylinders-and one of these is your VW breather hose.

 

Your Volkswagen breather hose is a variable type of car component that serves a very important function in your car's crankcase ventilation. You can usually see this component connected to the onboard refueling vapor recovery valve nozzle on the top-side of your fuel tank. It serves the primary function of drawing crankcase vapors into the intake manifold through the use of a manifold vacuum. It does this during high load operations and acceleration, wherein the excess air flows through the breather hose to enter the combustion chamber.

 

 

 

You need to ensure that your VW breather hose is always in good condition, or it will disrupt the normal balance of your air fuel ratio. Poor gas mileage, oil contamination, and engine misfiring could result when you have a clogged breather hose. Replace it with a new one once you have noticed some evident signs of wear and tear.
