    Broken something...

    Long story short, my polo had a coil pack fail (replaced) and the dipstick guide shatter (replacement in the mail). I have removed bumper and radiator to make a clean swap of the dipstick guide.

    The vacuum resiviour brackets was too low to accommodate the taller new coil packs. So after scrolling through a ton of advice, of this forum and started to remove the SAI.

    As soon as I removed the air pump I noticed a large cracked pipe leading into what looks like the oil pump.

    What is it and how do I fix it?

    Regards, Karl

    Any ways, I can't put the vacuum system back I. The head because the vacuum resiviour brackets was too low to accommodate the taller new coil packs. So after scrolling through a ton of advice, of this forum and started to remove the SAI.

    No worries Karl. Watch out for lumps of the broken one going into the breather.

    So... I unclipped the breather and pulled out the broken bit. As you can see in the picture, a large chunk of plastic is still in the rim. A small number of plastic went in the hole when I pulled the cloth out.

    Is there an easier way to remove the plastic or do I have to pick it out?

    Thanks for reading... And not giving up on me yet.

    That the crankcase ventilation /breather tube and it fits into the oil filter housing. Keep the O-ring when you get the plastic bits out as the part you get to replace it with may not come with an O-ring. If that had been broken prior to the SAI removal then you've had a pretty big vacuum leak going on there for a while. You can get an oe replacement for the pipe or you can get a billet part that plugs onto the housing that has an -AN fitting in it if you feel like making up your own hose.
    I'd check the pcv while your in there. I've had 3 fail in the last 5 years. Just disconnect the line between the plenum and that crankcase hose and make sure that if you blow in the direction away from the plenum , that it won't pass air. If it does you are pumping boost into the block which = bad.
