Hi all. I just bought a 2001 A4 1.8T Quattro Manual w/ 135,000 miles. Can someone please tell me what this rubber Y-shaped hose is called, and possibly it's cost. Looks pretty self explanatory for changing it, the bubbles just annoying me.

YES! Thanks, it's been bugging me for 3 weeks. I'm going to go buy that part tomorrow and change it when i do my oil change. Thanks a lot.

might be the same part and #, but that is for a b6, you have a b5, might wanna check with them and see if it is the same
might also check the local audi/vw dealer...... shouldn't be expensive

Looking at his second pic, it looks like the 01 shares the B6 head ventilation system.

If its $11 from ecs, i dont think it can be more than $20 from the dealer. They should be answer that real quick... should being the magic word.

Well, when I go to the dealer, I will ask for sure. I looked at the ones for b5's on the link, but none of them resembles the one I have. The b6 is the closest one.

Make sure you remember how it looks like because the dealer will have a picture of the part individually but sometimes the part numbers are a bit off; so they might get you the wrong thing.

So I just came back from the dealership, got my oil change done, and got the info and part. The part number was listed as 06B-103-221-P, and the description is "venthose". I bought two, even though they are supposed to last years, so if anyone wants one, post or email me. It is the price for one is $17.04. Took me about 5 minutes to install, due to my big hands. Also found out that the 2001 is the only B5 A4 to get that kind of hose, until now with the current models. Thanks for all the help everyone.
Here's a pic of both vent hoses, only need one:
