Anyone have pic of crankcase vent system or have the parts #s?
I know I've got leaks in there, lots of oil built up under the intake manifold near the throttle body end. I'd like to tear it all out and replace all of the hoses and valves, at least the ones I can get to. Thanks!

Couple follow ups...
That 3-way rubber piece in pic 1, got a part # for that? I'm planning on the worst and figure it has tears at all of the connections 
pic 2, I can't believe he still has the transmission inspection plug, I think that's the first one I've ever seen in place.
There are a couple of 90^ pieces in there, specifically the one that attaches to the middle of the intake manifold, mine has a pretty good split in it and needs to be replaced and I think the rest might as well. I'd need part #s on those too.
Thanks again Steve!

Unfortunately..>>>
Hans and I never found that data page for the 225 in my ETKA. We did find the T and valve on a VW page though. I can get those numbers. All that garbage Hose and Valves is part of the infamous one that fails at the end of the manifold. A new one of those will replace most of that mess..

Yeah I found the T and PCV and an S-hose on ECS but not the 90^ hoses.
Russ replaced at least one of his and IIRC it's a different diameter on each end so I can't just use a straight silicone replacement.
The hose at the far end of the manifold (opposite end from the TB) still looks good on my car. I'd love to replace that with a MY2003+ part but the plumbing all looks quite different.

one additional thing.....>>>
i have an early 01 productions car, non-esp built April 2000....there were some brackets and hoses that were not clear in ETKA hence our problem....If you specify your year, and take your VIN to a dealer, they can get ya the correct parts for that PCV valve and parts....
Just a note....

I have a MY2001 with ESP so mostly normal but I hate my dealer.
Will give them a call tomorrow though and see how useful they are. The U-hose assembly is a common VW part and available on 1stvwparts for ~$90.
