[QUOTE="Moseley, post: 622565, member: 20098"] Can’t get to the inside join unfortunately without separating the two halves! Your positioning makes sense to me in that the breather opening inside the filler is at the top, so at least you don’t end up pouring oil into it when changing / topping up. But what I wondered is what happens when the breather area fills up with oil? It has got nowhere to drain to until it is full to the opening at the top? This is why I rotated mine so that at least the opening would be lower down and therefore would drain back to the sump before it filled and blocked off the breather outlet. I’m just curious about the design and how it was supposed to operate when VW removed the down draft tube from the design! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
