It is the k-jet gti lump, and up until recently has been running fine. However, i was sat in traffic the other week, and fuel pump siezed on me, so consequently caddy conked out. I waited for it to cool, gave the pump a T**t with a atched and it started buzzing again, and drove home, although only at about 2k as it wouldnt rev any higher - im guessing dueto fuel pump being knackered.

I need to get hold of a crankcase breather hose for my Mk2 golf gti 16v. Euro carparts want 40 quid but this seems a lot for a hose.
Can anyone suggest anywhere else, don't mind if it is new or used.
Thanks
