Recommend good 4mm breather hose

[Colesy]

I need to replace some of the 4mm breather hose as it looks knackared.

I have some silicone hose lying around but was wondering if it would be better to get some high quality hose to cope better with the oil vapours.

Most hose is sold as being ok for the breather system but I am sceptical.

Does anyone know of a good place to order some online or should I just fit the silicone hose I have and not worry about it?

if its the cord wrapped stuff get the real thing. fpr, ecu etc like the correct hoses.

That's the stuff, wrapped in a soft fabric mesh. Is there anywhere to buy this online? Or does anyone have some spare or know the part number for the dealer?

i got something from Gates...wich is looking much better..in my opinion.
Is 3.2 mm inside and the gates pn is3225.
Look after this also....
All the best!

not sure on the audi and motronic but on vw you can get adverse affects from the wrong hoses for ecu or fpr fro example. the rest, which take no measurements are not an issue according to vag in the past.
