Raul. Thanks for your videos. I was at a loss for my R36 passat 2010. Watched this video and realised after doing exact checks you showed with blocking the breather hose and trying to take oil cap off the suction was insane. Booked in to get fixed and as mine has done 260,000 ( still runs like a dream on road conditions ) in your video you replaced intake gaskets while apart and watched your video on how to do. Looked actually easier than expected but as i don’t have all required tools and time😂 got a reputable shop to do. They busy so 5 week wait but i can handle that. Thank again mate from Melbourne Australia🇦🇺. It is always better to walk into a shop with some idea of the issue. Subscribed to your channel after watching last night👑
I truly appreciate your videos and please keep up the great work. I'm a VW owner of a VR6 Passat and your videos are hard to find and I appreciate that you take the effort to do this for all of us!
Just a big shout out and a thanks! 2014 v6 vw cc 4motion just pulled in the garage and started having same issue. used my odbII scanner and got the code. Now I just gotta price the repair at my dealer vs. my independent shop. Not the best diy capable here.
Your video was on point. Mine whistled nonstop plus random rpm jumps for a few seconds then back to normal for hours. Early stages i assume. Im sure it will get as bad as yours if not replaced asap. Thanks for the video!
Came across your videos as I have been doing research for my 2012 3.6 V6 SE Passat. It's really hard to come across any information out there about the car. Thanks for posting your videos on the work you do. I'm dealing with a cylinder 4 misfire now. I replaced all coils and plugs and still having the misfire. I brought it to a mechanic and he's seeing low compression in the cylinder. I'm hoping I don't have a big problem.
Let me know what you had to do. I had to get a new engine entirely. Its so hard to find information on this car. Also super hard to find aftermarket parts
@@Dirtymcdonalds Unfortunately I was told I needed a new engine. He did a leakdown test on the problematic cylinder and it didn't hold pressure. He also put a scope in the cylinder and could see some abrasions on the wall. Most likely I had a broken piston ring. The cost of an engine was more than what the car was worth. I wound up selling the car. I really loved that car.
I have exactly the same car , has exactly the same problem, following your lead replacement all the parts like you done on the video and start up the problem still there….any thought or information greatly appreciated It Raul
Thanks for the video! Which part was actually replaced? Was it the valve cover or a smaller part underneath? I also have a 2012 VW Passat currently experiencing this same problem!
I have this issue, but only idles up to 1,100 rpms max at red lights. However, I don’t have any suction issues on the little hole outside the pcv valve and not hard to take off the oil cap?
I watched your video too replace the valve cover gasket. I watched this video and i have the same issue with the sucking. Looks like i goes replace my valve cover. Lol
This is probably the closest video that the symptoms on my 2012 passat can relate to. I have noticed that at cold start the rpm near 2000 and goes down after a couple of seconds. I have listened to the engine and I would hear loud air flow coming from somewhere and then a sound like a valve closing and the idle would go down. Plus when driving i would have intermittent idle stuck at 1000 rpm when stopping
Hey... how you doing . I happen to have similar problem I check by spraying breaker cleaner and nothing happens I change the PCV DIA and nothing. But I have a Audi q5 2011
I got the code p0507 but my idling is only sitting 1000 then drops to 700 then after a min will go back up to a 1000 sit there for a bit then drop back down any idea what the problem could be
I replaced both valve cover gasket and the valve cover itself. It started fine. I drove it like 3 miles and parked it and rpm went way up and it started with p0507 p2189 p2187 but I took the lower intake manifold gasket off and see it wasn't seated right the other codes 2189 2187 went away but the p0507 is still there.. hopefully it needs to only relearn. And not a faulty valve cover itself. Any idea's?
Thanks for this vid. What was the actual part that was replaced? Where did you go about ordering this part, did you replace the entire valve cover or was there a smaller part that you were able to fix inside the valve cover?
Nice video! Just found you in my scrolling. I got a question - This is really shot in the dark - I have a ‘13 2.5 SE (5 Cyl.). I don’t have the fluctuating RPM but a very unpredictable climb in RPM (gradually climbs to 10k RPM). Either a couple minutes after start up or any random time standing at a red light. If I take my foot off the brake, there’s enough rev to easily roll away. As far as I know (from the dealer), no codes to indicate a problem. VW Tech replaced the throttle body but the issue persists. No telling when it’ll happen. Other times, the car idles at its normal 6.5~7.5k RPM (you forget the engine is on, she’s so smooth and quiet). Have you or your audience ever experienced this? Any suggestion is appreciated.
Thank you for the video, I own also a Passat I don’t have that problem “yet” with mine .! Thanks again, keep videos coming they are very informative and also hard to find videos of (v6 3.6 engine) 👍🏼👍🏼
I have a 2012 Skoda superb with same v6 engine and had identical problem like this one + high pitch screaming noise. Mechanic advises diaphragm is torn, said the whole rocker cover containing the pcv valve + gaskets need replacement @$1460 AUD. Have to pay unfortunately.
@@raulsd.i.y.videos5585 from my understanding there is the little diaphragm that goes in the PCV valve ( inside the valve cover) for like 20 bucks now. Still have the labor, dyi or at cost, to get to the valve cover. Cheaper than 500-600 part from dealer though.
@kidojunior I replaced it about a year ago and I've had no problems,, Replace the gaskets..other than that it cost me less than 50 bucks total!.still going strong💪..fyi..thanks for your video

@@joef5697 I had everything under warranty. Got a 50000 mile engine. Seems like a common issue w these cars
Thank you for this. You’ve probably saved me about $1300.
Thanks man! I really appreciate your videos! I myself have a 90k 2013 Passat 3.6. I wanted to get to know this car better for future repairs!
I have exactly the same car , has exactly the same problem, following your lead replacement all the parts like you done on the video and start up the problem still there….any thought or information greatly appreciated It Raul
So is the crank case valve on the valve cover.
Thanks for the video! Which part was actually replaced? Was it the valve cover or a smaller part underneath? I also have a 2012 VW Passat currently experiencing this same problem!
It was the valve cover. The part that was broken was inside of the valve cover. Had to replace the whole thing.
Raul's D.I.Y. Videos thank you!!
You can buy just the flap now you can keep the oem cover cheap aftermarket then to bend over the heat
Does yours have a Dual exhaust system? I see you have paddle shifters! I do too!
I have this issue, but only idles up to 1,100 rpms max at red lights. However, I don’t have any suction issues on the little hole outside the pcv valve and not hard to take off the oil cap?
nothing more scarier than a VW/AUDI check engine light. love the car but when that yellow light lights up....its like ahhh shhhhiiiiett!
😂 agree! i just don’t look down at it.
Where did you order the Crankcase Vent Valve?
so i’m getting this code but it isn’t idling at high rpms whatsoever ... car runs smooth. bad sensor?
I watched your video too replace the valve cover gasket. I watched this video and i have the same issue with the sucking. Looks like i goes replace my valve cover. Lol
🤦♂️Hey, it happens.

Mine isn't that bad yet, but i've gotten the error at least. No idle problems as far as I can see however. I wonder if it's the electrical system.

RkX they have a replacement diaphragm that can go into the Pcv valve it's part of the valve cover..
This what happens to my 3.6 and change tappet cover solved the issue thanks

It sounds like it could be the same part. Check under the hood and try to notice if you hear a sucking noise from the top of the engine
Is it the same thing as a pcv valve though?
Thank you for the video, I own also a Passat I don’t have that problem “yet” with mine .!
Thanks again, keep videos coming they are very informative and also hard to find videos of (v6 3.6 engine) 👍🏼👍🏼
Glad you liked it. Hopefully one of my videos will help one day.
I have a 2012 Skoda superb with same v6 engine and had identical problem like this one + high pitch screaming noise. Mechanic advises diaphragm is torn, said the whole rocker cover containing the pcv valve + gaskets need replacement @$1460 AUD. Have to pay unfortunately.
Ouch

@@stlcrdnalswin yes, ill post a video on how to change. It is not complicated but not too easy also. A regular DIY'er can do it without a problem.
@kidojunior I replaced it about a year ago and I've had no problems,, Replace the gaskets..other than that it cost me less than 50 bucks total!.still going strong💪..fyi..thanks for your video
Thumbs up sign
