The flexi rubber hose from ebay worked well, i have only done the pass side one for now as the other one is not split but it worked fine so i can confirm that this is a very cheap option for replacement breather hoses.

So is 1 metre enough for both sides?

Sorry for the late reply.
Looks like it will be more then enough yes.

Thanks for this great forum, it has been invaluable for me in Hong Kong with 2001 S8 D2 and an abundance of 'bolt on' mechanics.

I would like to try DIY for this replacement. I got the 1 (one) meter long, 19mm diameter hose part (flexi or, silicone /w 90 deg bends).

Can someone please post some pictures around how to actually do this? Any guidance around steps, tools, will be much appreciated.

I need to replace both sides for this hose.
