    Hello all, hope everyone is well!

    Well again I'm here to prove my lack of knowledge and ask a stupid question! ;)
    My breather hose has split on my mk3 golf, I've doctored it with some heat shrink tape which is doing the job for now, but I really want to replace it!
    I've done a google search using the part number and a lot of results have come up but here's my problem, a lot of the sites are from over seas and I'm just not that great purchasing stuff online.
    So if anyone could advise me on the best site to use or better than that they know of a good uk based Place worth checking out.

    The part number is 037 103 493 AB

    Thank you for your time, any help is appreciated for this amateur lol

    Also worth an ask at your local dealers. Sometimes prices are more reasonable than you`d expect, and you`ll also be a getting a gen. part and not some spurious crap.

    Ok I thought I'd bring this thread back up as I'm still struggling to find one, I can't find any online at the regular sites like euro car parts and so on, I managed to find a matching one on eBay but lost the bid!
    Even when looking around breakers yards I can never find any, they always seem to have been taken out already! I find plenty for the 16v just not the 8v, they are like gold dust!
    Maybe I'm not savvy enough on the whole internet shopping thing...Help me!!!!

    Tbh no, not yet I was looking for a better option and thought i would get one at the local breakers.
    I'm going to find the local dealers and call them on Monday! :thumbup: (i'm rather clueless at this kind of stuff, so I assume you mean a Vw dealership?)
    I've been a bit daft in searching for this part when I think about it, me and my lack of knowledge really does show at times :)

    Thanks for everyone's help

    I should of explained myself better, it was rather late when I was typing that message, when I meant a better option I was talking about getting one from the breakers for cheap! [:D]
