I have been back and forth with multiple distributors of the oil breather system for our cars. I have not found the answer I am looking for. Long story won't get into it now.

Apparently, there are seperate systems for each the manual and the automatic.

I would mainly prefer input from the eariler 2001 6 MT cars since that criteria is best suited for my survey.

Which does your system look like? Number 1 or number 2?

I currently have #2, but everyone (ECS Tuning, Willow Grove Audi Dealership) is telling me I should have set-up #1.

#1 [The main breather is for the angled Silver Y-pipe and has an exposed vacuum nipple on top of the five way valve]




#2 [The main breather is for the straight out Silver Y-pipe and has no nipple off the top of the five way splitter valve.]






Your time and is greatly appreciate

Thanks

#1 on 2000 2.7 MT

 

Good stuff, Thank you


Still looking for the 01's

 

Conclusion...

For future member reference

My current hose assembly is clogged and leaking. I ordered the only one listed for the manual trans from ECS. Only, after trying to install the new one, did I notice that it was completly different.

I called both ECS and my Dealership to confirm that I did indeed order/have the correct spyder hose assembly for my car. I even went to the dealer w/ new part in hand to compare w/ what the parts department had listed for my particular VIN. Sure enough, they concurred w/ ECS Tuning that I did in fact have the right part.

I just figured you would have to hack it up to make it work, but that didn't make much sense.

So...only after checking here http://www.audipartstore.com/catalog...4965328%2B1574 did I discover that there were TWO spyder hose assemblies or breather hose assemblies.

Thanks for all your insight guys, greatly appreciated.
