is there no other VAG part that will work?

41 dollars for a 4.1 cent price of plastic.

This just popped up looking for a seemingly impossible replacement for a similar part for a 1990 Vw GTI 8v.

Amen.

I paid $8 for a breather valve gasket that is probably $1 at AutoZone.

As the OP’s reply implies... that is the other VAG part, actually, just being sold from a Porsche source.

191 is a parts prefix for a Mk2 Golf/Jetta part.

Full of the sound of the Gran Fury, signifying nothing. > Frank Grimes 01/10/2017 at 23:20

Looking at that part number brought back memories of working in the parts department at a VW dealer in California back in the ‘80s. It looks like Porsche parts are numbered the same way as VW parts, which doesn’t come as a surprise; this is somewhat confirmed because since the 4th digit (6) indicates parts for the braking system and wheels. This brings me back to the first three numbers, 191, which would indicate that this is a part for a second-generation (1985-~1993) Jetta.

Whether it be for a plebeian Jetta or a Porsche, it appears to be made out of solid unobtanium, unless you’ve got the scratch.
