How can you say a 90 dollar part is pricey after it lasted 20 + years on the
vanagon in the first place ???
You'll only need to ever buy one more it would seem.

Penny wise, pound foolish - is that the old saying ?

I'm glad you tried it, Mike; I've been meaning to since reading that
thread.
I don't like that such a pricey part can't be inspected nor is there a know
test for it's functionality.

The reason for my question is I'm putting a rebuilt Boston Bob 2.1 into
my '85 Westy and transferring many things over from the old engine.  I
cleaned up the breather tower and "Tried" to test it.  Blowing and
sucking on the hose nipple makes me think the tower is "Straight
through" and only functioning as a vapor separator.  Sigh ...
