Default PCV spider hose

Does anyone know where I can find the PCV and the spyder hoses from. And maybe a digram on how to put them in? My car was having the smoking issue and leaking oil. Took it to one VW garage and they found oil in the intercooler lines and said both turbos were bad $3500. So I said no way and picked up the car lone behold it drives fine and no smoking for a month hmmmm. So then it starts leaking oil and I take it to the audi dealership an hour away. They tell me it the cam tensioner and cam seals and valve cover gaskets so I spend the $2000 and get them replaced. Go to pick up my car and the guy pulls it up to the front of the store and its smoking like crazy again. I tell them no way im driving it home. They call me back and say the cam seal did not seat properly so they put a new one in and I pick it up drive it for 3 days and it leaks again. Take it back they replace it again and when I start it the next morning its smoking like crazy again, so I lift the dipstick and oil spurts everywhere. hmmm maybe to much pressure. Take it back down and know there trying to tell me it needs a cam and that wil solve the problem. Any thoughts on this or is this just the pressure building up and smoking the seals over and over. Oh by the way I brought up to them the other people having these issues online and there like it dosent happen on the 2.7t only 1.8t.


Thanks for reading my book

Default is this a 2.7?

no oil should come from the dipstick tube unless the breather system is clogged up causing excessive pressure in the block and relieving the pressure thru the cam seals
remove the dipstick and the oil cap and tell me what happens
also make sure they are replacing the cam plugs<ul><li><a href="http://euro-techmotors.com">http://euro-techmotors.com</a</li></ul>

How did you go with a fix on this??

Mine's doing the same... Fix a seal, blow a new seal, fix a seal, blow a new seal. It's a fun game, but it's kind of getting boring.

Was it the breather system?
What's a spider hose do?

Should I drill a hole in my oil cap?

a stock car has no need for a hole drilled in the oil cap

I would replace your spider hose first. It's the big ugly thing on the back of the engine that relieves crank case pressure.
