What is this part called?
Oil Filler / Breather Tube Grommet – Engine Tin Seal
What does this part do on a VW?
This rubber grommet seals the oil filler drain (breather) tube where it passes through the engine tinware. Its primary function is to maintain proper engine cooling by preventing hot air from below the engine from being drawn back into the cooling system. It also protects the breather tube from vibration and contact with the tin, preventing wear or damage over time. A missing or degraded seal can lead to increased engine temperatures and reduced cooling efficiency.
