Thanks Keith, I would (very) tentatively go for the first option. My car does not "consume" oil, or smoke from the exhaust. If the rings were shot, I think you'd expect both symptoms, wouldn't you? On the other hand, I have never done anything to the breather. I have a new breather box ready to install, as the old one is completely missing it's downpipe (!). While the car is laid up I could remove the whole thing, clean it out, change the gaskets, etc. I understand you need a special tool to remove the breather box from the base. Can it be done without it, or should I order one? > > Ive never seen a fan cracked like this! I always knew my car was special ;~) Daniel ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
