2.8 APR 30v Breather hoses
 
The rocker breather hoses on my 1999 2.8 A8 (APR engine - 30 valve) have perished. They appear to be make out of ribbed plastic tube.

Can anyone assist with part numbers and any idea where is best to buy.

I assume its okay to drive with them off?

Thank you.

12- 078 103 224 R dealer price £79.85 inc VAT
13- 078 103 223 B dealer price £20.06 inc VAT

Not really OK to drive with them off as unmetered, unfiltered air will be entering engine. This will cause lean running and might result in unstable idle/stalling. At least tape them up by duct tape or join by rubber hose in meantime.

Ouch, past tape they broke up into a number of pieces.

Thanks for the info

Temporary fix in place, five pounds for 2m of rubber hose and four pounds for a box of clips from Halfords.

Will see what is the best price I can get the OEM kit for but could be tempted to replace all the plastic hose with rubber.
