I found the manufacturer's website and it has the PCV-008 listed as the compatible unit for the AU but it completely different to what is in the car as it has 2 plugs for hoses
I may be missing something in that pic, but the silver bit goes into the rubber grommet/opening in the crankcase and the black bit on top connects to the hose feeding back into the intake.

BTW, that's a metal unit. You need a plastic unit. The metal units have been found by a few here to result in higher oil consumption, as the spring inside the valve is lighter than stock.

Cheers,
