Hello folks, need some help. Got this familiar situation going on with the valve broken. Duct tape is holding for now but it sure gets melty 
I ordered this part #150655110: amazon: /gp/product/B075JRF3Q5/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I managed to slice a bit of the oil trap hose on the right (I think that's what that is) to get a grip and pull out the old plastic.
(I've seen a lot of people asking: the airflow direction is right to left, the valve does not seem to allow air the other way, at least when I blow into it.)
But the damn valves don't match, 150655110 is bigger and I can't get it into the right side hose.
Irritated that I apparently bought the wrong thing, I go to eEuroParts and I find this:
eeuroparts: /Parts/59568/Oil-Trap-Hose-21345927/ (says it's compatible with my year model)
Note that number 21345927.
Looking for faster shipping, I find this on eBay:
ebay: /itm/Breather-Hose-Oil-trap-to-throttle-housing-hose-Pro-Parts-Sweden-21345927-59/153277919409?hash=item23b01370b1:g
agAAOSwCWRcBX6E
Note the same part number of 21345927.
During checkout, I see a note that says "for valve only, use part 150655110."
But wait, this matches the first part I bought on Amazon that doesn't fit.
So at this point I'm going insane, thinking if I buy this thing on eBay OR on eEuroParts I'm just going to wind up with a hose with a 150655110 in it that I know doesn't fit.
I'd really prefer not to have to replace the entire oil trap hose (the one on the right), but that hose is noticeably stiffer than the hose on the left, and even with the right part, I'm not sure I'll be able to force that in.
If that's the case, I'll just have a mechanic put the entire hose on, because I can't be bothered to spend an hour trying to reach under there and disconnect it, I have bad luck with things like that and things tend to break.
But I need to be 100% sure I'm ordering the right part.
My concern is that the eEuroParts code matches the eBay product but the eBay product says that the valve is the same valve that I bought that I know is too big. What gives?
Am I going to be forced to replace the entire hose, at least on the right side that goes under because 150655110 and 21345927 are indeed correct and they're just bigger than what's in the car for some reason?
Or do I have the wrong part? Will I be able to force that into the right side hose, or is it not designed to be insertable by hand like that? It's so stiff.
The fact that I'm having to ask all these questions is why I hate working on cars. The simplest things become ridiculous.
Thanks in advance folks, sorry for whining
