What is this part called?
Oil Breather Filter – Chrome Top, 1/2″ Hose Barb
What does this part do on a VW?
This oil breather filter is designed to ventilate crankcase gases from the engine, helping to relieve internal pressure caused by blow-by during combustion. It is typically fitted to oil filler necks, breather boxes, or vented rocker covers in air-cooled Volkswagen engines. By allowing gases to escape while filtering out dirt and debris, it helps maintain proper engine ventilation, reduces oil leaks, and supports overall engine performance. It is commonly used in performance or modified engines where additional crankcase breathing is required.
