Service Action
Got a letter today from VWoA about replacing the Crankcase Breather Hose
on my 02 Passat 1.8T. It says I have up to 100,000 miles or ten years before the Service Action expires. My question is should I be concerned about this and get it replaced or just wait till it's necessary. My mechanic says it appears to be in pretty good shape.

Service Action
Hose material apparently gets soft and spongy and can fail.

Service Action
The exact wording on the SA is: The crankcase breather hose on some
vehicles may deteriorate over time and become cracked or broken. If this happens, crankcase emissions can be released into the atmosphere, oil leakage or engine starting problems may occur, or the MIL light may illuminate.

I would just go get it replaced; it's probably a free fix.
