Brian,
The opening in this hose will allow additional unmetered air, and additional
unfiltered air into your engine. Unless you are really out of tune you
probably won't notice a huge difference initially. It is a good idea to go
ahead and patch, then replace it as you have planned.
HTH,

Subject: [a2-16v-list] crankcase ventilation hose torn
Date: Sun, 15 Feb 2004 17:41:18 -0600
While replacing the o-ring on my oil cooler, I noticed that the
crankcase ventilation hose (The larger one, going right into the block
and feeding to the airbox) has a large tear in it. What side effects
would this yield?
I can't make it to the dealer tonight, and maybe not for a day or two,
so I think I may have to duct tape the tear shut, as there's not enough
slack to trim down the end.
Also, I think that it may not have been the oil cooler that's leaking,
as there is oil all up above that area. I don't think it's the valve
cover again, but it's hard to see because it's all behind the intakes
and fuel rail.
Laters,
Brian
