[QUOTE="iknowdavehouse, post: 604555, member: 24123"] The alternator conversion was done by a mechanic that specialises in air cooled VWs, not by myself. I didn’t actually realise I could reuse the original filler with that alternator stand. Either way, I no longer have it. 😞 As far as I can tell the breather hose is the correct spec, the replacement oil breather hose I bought from cool air vw is exactly the same. I’ll double check for blockages / warping asap. It’s definitely not too full of oil, if anything it’s low on oil at the moment. Really appreciate the advice...and thanks yes, I know about the braided fuel hoses. They are only about a year old but I’ll swap them out / the position of the filter when I get the chance 🙂 [/QUOTE]
