Blocked breather on 6n2 AHW
I had our Polo on a friends hoist to change the fuel filter & noticed an oil leak on the rear of the engine. I figured it needed a new seal.

This is a pic of the breather box after a cleanup & removal of the bracket that supports the cable to the starter.
After removal of box[three screws with 5mm allen key] I found the hose & box completely blocked with oil mixed with water, sometimes referred to as mayonnaise.

I bought a new hose assy for just over $100 that includes the heating element that was no longer working. I believe it is there for cold climates to stop iceing & blocking the breathing. The rubber hose had gone very soft & when squeezed stayed distorted.
