Just did this repair on my 2014 Tiguan, bought the part from dap on Friday here the next Tuesday, watched the video one more time and done. One thing I suggest is when you have the coils out is to put something in the holes...just peace of mind so nothing falls down, I used a few clean shop rags and then used them to wipe everything down. Great Video hit all the parts of a simple repair saved me about 150 bucks in labor.
Thanks for the tutorial. I ordered a replacement today. Between you and Humble Mechanic, I was able to diagnose the issue (my hunch was right) and limp 200 miles home knowing it was just the PCV shreaking loudly. I pulled the gasket from the oil cap to equalize the crank case pressure enough to make the squealing stop.
I would suggest covering the spark plug holes with plastic so oil doesnt leak in there when removing the pcv valve. I would also suggest using an air can to blast any dust laying around the pcv valve before removing it too
Thank you Paul! This is exactly what was wrong in my GTI. I ordered the part from your site and it arrived today. Very easy fix, I installed it this morning and tested the car. Good as new!!
2013 Tiguan. I had a P2187 along with a pile of O2 sensor and misfire codes, nine faults in total. I used my finger to plug the vent on the PCV cover bleed/vent hole to diagnose. Stupid diaphragm was torn terribly. The Doorman part is a thicker rubber bit and was super easy to swap. Thanks for the video man. Much appreciated.
Thank you so much for this video! With minimal self engine repair experience, I was able to replace the CVV on my 2010 GTI last night! Its running so much better! Thanks again :)
When your pcv valve went bad was your exhaust burning oil?!?! I have a 2009 tsi gti and at idle in the cold it burns oil like a lot of white smoke and idk if it’s the pcv valve or what
I thank you so much for this tutorial! It's super simple on hind sight, but finding the origin of the problem was hard... I replaced the part and took apart the old one.. and what do you know.. the rubber on the inside had a big gap.. i was glad I replaced the part in time before the rear seal would have blown! Thank you so much!

Just had PCV valve (06K103495BL) replaced 2014 A4 TFSI. It didn`t fail but engine has 100,000 miles on it so probably a good idea to get it done. Thanks for posting this video.
Awesome! I just had this go bad on my 09 B8 A4 quattro 2.0T (FSI). Symptoms: High pitch whistle coming from the front of the engine (dipstick plug location) at idle after driving. Strong neg. pressure pull when trying to remove oil cap with engine idling. (*Edit: I used a different part number for my model - 06H103495AE… I'm still not 100% sure that this is the right part. I may need to replace the crankcase seal. I highly recommend calling the dealer or experts and using your VIN to find the right part.*) Install procedure is the same except there's an additional bolt holding the coil connector line in place. The valve is right on top of the engine (easy access ~ 30 min job.) Great video! I would caution anyone about buying aftermarket parts for this one. Based on my research it's been linked to the oil consumption issue and if the part has been through multiple revisions it's probably safest to get the latest OEM. Make sure it's the right part though. Edit: Replacing this part has made a HUGE difference. When idle I can't even tell if the car is on. It was quite rough before. The performance has improved and the whistle is long gone.
Deutsche Auto Parts- Your Source for Everything VW and Audi I did some more research and my original number is 06H-103-495J so does that mean that the latest revision of my part is actually 06H-103-495AE and not the AC? *Edit:* Yes - confirmed 06H-103-495AE is correct number for my B8 A4 Quattro 2.0T (FSI). But I would recommend calling and confirming with VIN.
Deutsche Auto Parts- Your Source for Everything VW and Audi I'll remember that for next time… I misread the description and thought this was for the TFSI so I ordered it and installed it.

Just had one replaced on 2012 GTi (CDL engine code as per Golf R) 06F129101R , had just started to have surging idle and then engine check light came on. Covered under warranty, the dealership must have been searching for the leak by spraying soapy water in the valve. Car is running much better now. Great video
These guys are great, was able to self diagnose and fix my car with the info on their site. Ordered this part on a Sunday had it by Wednesday. Just ordered new Coil packs and plugs from them tonight. Thanks!
Thank you for the video. It saved my wife a ton of money. She got the P2187 code. Lean at idle. I didn't have to change the whole PVC valve thankfully. Dorman had a part to replace the diaphragm which is what was broken. $30 as apposed to $140+ for diagnosing from VW and they would have sold the PVC at a premium which is already $220+ and at least 1 hour labor at what ever else they would have tried to tell her or me needed to be done. I love the cars but my experience with the dealerships has been bad. In my experience they have been crooks.
This fixed my issue with P3000 & P3003. I purchase the blue driver scanner and let me tell you. It was a good investment. Tells you the top two issues for the car. Thanks! For this video! Also I had already replaced the 4 ignition coils and spark plugs.
I recently bought this part from you guys and has worked great so far but when I was first diagnosed to replace the old one I was told my car was burning too much gas due to taking in too much air and was told by the vw dealer that a computer reset was needed so the car could go back to regular gas efficiency, my request is if you guys could make a video of how to reset the computer or simply instruct me through here? I would really appreciate the help. keep up the great work!
Deutsche Auto Parts- Your Source for Everything VW and Audi I took care of erasing the check engine code that was no trouble at all, I mean resetting the computer so it can burn air/fuel like it used to before unless I'm mistaken. ps thanks for answering so promptly.
Very good video... clear and concise. However there is a tightening sequence for these small bolts and a torque value of 11Nm. Unfortunately at time of writing i cant upload the picture that shows the tightening sequence. Sorry...
Hi there, really helpful video! unfortunately after replacing mine my car is now idling really badly. I thought it was the part so i got a replacement and it’s still doing the same thing. When i put the old valve on it runs fine. Do you know why?
I just replaced my valve and realised that the previous valve was aftermarket Vaico brand and had been replaced less than 2 years ago, about 25K miles. I was getting different check engine codes from faulty O2 sensors and also faulty catalytic converter. Once I replaced the valve with a VW/ Audi from the stealership the codes went away in less than 5 seconds after the valve was replaced. Paying the extra price at the stealership may give you peace of mind and not having to replace within 25 K miles. Also, the previous valve was leaking quite a lot of oil due to the gasket having gone bonkers! No more Vaico aftermarket for my MV.
Such a helpful video-got her fixed right up! Just watch the cross-threading on those bolts. I managed to cross one. Still tightened up, thank the VW God.
Thank you!! This sounds like my issue from the squealing noise I am getting. I unscrew my oil cap and noise goes away until I cap it back up. Ordering part now. :) will update
I think I've narrowed things down to the pcv. I was getting a bit of oil on the MAP sensor. The car was running hesitate on acceleration. I removed my oil cap while engine was running, no change at all to idle. That leads me to believe that it's the pcv assembly. Am I right?
Question: I had my PCV valve replaced less than 2 yrs ago nd now it is failing again, my idle is raving high and low and when I took a look at the engine there's a lot of oil coming out near the back of the engine block, just as you mention on your video. Is this common for it top fail in less than 50K miles?
After having misfires in cylinders 1 & 3, I replaced all spark plugs and ignition coils. The misfire code hasn't cleared itself and seems rough when I start it up. I pulled the spark plugs a day after installing new ones to find the engine is running rich. Is the next step the PCV valve? ***UPDATE*** - Got a diagnosis done and it confirmed my hunch. The VW dealer determined that the PCV valve was leaking and there was significant carbon build up inside the intake manifold. All of this I expected. What I didn't expect was they found oil leaks on the upper and lower timing chain covers...which they suggested should be replaced. As well as a leak at the rear main seal. So this leads me to my new set of questions. Wouldn't the PCV cause oil leaks in all of these places? Why replace the whole cover instead of just the gasket? I'm not mechanically inclined enough to do the timing chain repairs and would have those done at the dealer, but I'm trying to mitigate cost here and do only what needs to be done. Also, with the engine having 120k miles would it be a good idea to go ahead and replace the timing chain? Or should I just not try and fix what isn't broken? Thanks!
Probably useless for you, but for those reading this, for my CC I did exactly what this guy did and then followed up with a PCV Valve and my rich problem went away.
I was getting codes P0507 and P0171. The PCV valve is linked to both and changing it cleared both codes. Was easy. Was missing one of the screws which will have to wait until I get to town to get another.
Hello, @Deutsche Auto Parts . I replaced the diaphragm and the howling noise disapear, but days later I noticed that I had a oil leak between the engine and the transmision (DSG). Could help me if This leak can cause the no-replace the all PCV valvue for a new one? * the engine sounds good Many thanks Regards
You are amazing, great videos! A question...at approx 5:30 you are connecting a "plastic" hose that you mention to be careful with not to crack. Where does this hose go to? I found some oily area around the area where the big Air intake pipe goes . I wonder what this could do if I found some oil around that area. Thanks, you are the man!
Will a bad PCV valve cause oil consumption? My son’s 2013 VW CC is burning much oil but no visible leaks. Please advise. Oil pressure light flashes on then goes off.
I have a VW mk7 2.0 clubsport 2016 with an engine light, the trouble code is P227000 lambda probe 2 cylinder row 1 signal too lean. what do you think? A bad labda probe Or A bad PCV Valve? thanks for your response!
I'm putting my engine back together. I bought the bent valve kit from you guys and I was what the valve cover bolts torque spec is. I'm having trouble finding it. also are they stretch bolts?
@Deutsche Auto parts My pcv has failed on my B7 A4 2.0 tfsi and I'm considering deleting it. I have seen a variety of different kits and set ups to do this, but I would like to know....what set up/kits (if any) would you guys recommend as the best way to do it? You guys seem to really know your stuff, and so any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks 👍
should this be done as PM? or just wait until issues are present? i hear this failing can lead to the failure of the rear main seal. 2014 jetta 1.8 tsi
I have a question, the passages side valve, on top of valve cover what is that called , I think its where the fresh air comes in, my question is can that passenger side valve be replaced i can't find a video about it, its just a hose that connects to something there on top of valve
2012 audi s line 2.0tfsi. Obvious oil in #1 cylinder. Which is causing a misfire. And throws the misfire code. Buy what I was wondering is. Wouldn't the pcv/oil seperator cause the excess oil buildup in the cylinder ? It's only on #1 cylinder. I already changed out one coil pack to see if it changed or ran better in which it did. But eventually misfires again. When I clean the plug it starts all over. Would the pcv/oil seperator cause the excessive oil buildup ? It's smokes only in that cylinder.
I have a same issue in a 2012 beetle. Cyl 1 and 4. Did you change your PCV, and did it fix it? I cleaned my coils and spark plugs and mine runs for now. Just waiting for it to misfire again.
Question.. I have an 11 A3 2.0. Just noticed it’s using oil and idle gets erratic when I pull the dipstick like it’s sucking air. Would this be caused by the Pcv valve not working correctly? Thanks!
Got a 2010 CC with the 2.0t and the engine has a lean code and multiple misfire code. MAF reading under 1 on live data and no vacuum leaks found. Crankcase vacuum when removing oil filler cap is minimal when running. Could this be my issue? I replaced MAF sensor to no avail and with same low readings. Bout to pull hair out!!! Thanks in advance.
can a broken rear and front hose connected to pcv valve cause vacuum leak and rough idle with check engine light. My rear hose of PCV valve is broken into 2 parts, but when showed to mechanic he said the front hose connected to the intake manifold needs to b replaced
I have a B7 audi a4 2.0t quattro, last Saturday I was driving and came to a four way. when it came to my turn to go the car completely shut off steering wheel locked up and brakes locked up. checked the battery and thats not the problem, but I notice that my pcv was crack. just wondering if that was one of the symptoms?
On my car the front tube goes straight to the oil separator and it doesn’t have the one on the back. But I’m pretty certain that the pcv valve has gone bad. It has a lot of mods and I’m not sure what to order
Hello, question.. I have a nice oil leak coming from somewhere and I've thought about replacing the pcv valve. I haven't done so because every video I see about failures of pcv you're suppose to get codes or some kind of symptoms. I have no symptoms or vacuum from dip stick, car runs smooth. I have thought it's a rear main seal leak but since pcv hasn't failed( to my knowledge) where else can I check for leaks. Side note as well, car leaks just sitting as well which also leads me to believe its main seal. Any ideas on this?
The rear main can fail on its own. It's just often caused to fail prematurely after a pcv failure. Sounds like you might have a bad rear main, but a second opinion is in order.
Deutsche Auto Parts - sounds like I be getting a pcv and main seal fixed, I was afraid of that. Thanks for your time, also once this is fixed I'll be ordering your stage 1+ ecu/dsg flash, main seal kinda put that back.
Deutsche Auto Parts I installed a new pcv valve before getting main seal repaired. Installed it and now have check engine light, will be getting the code read but from researching everything suggest pcv valve is stuck open. Idle is normal, when I open oil cap when car is on it doesn't stutter like before. Thoughts?
Hi! I have a 2008 passat CC i get a very rough idle whole car is shaking, missfire cods and system to lean fault code, could it be the pcv valve? i have already trying cleaning MAF sensor changing sparkplugs and coils.
My Audi A4 2.0T b8 model failed for 1st time after 94,000miles! Friday morning at a stop light suddenly low pressure 3 bips~. So I test the oil port below the oil filter and was perfect 26psi low and higher at 3500rpm, but the pressure light only came out 1 time. Well people said ufff could be sludge. Took the oil pan and my engine looks like a brand new engine gold perfect and strainer better than the one in my kitchen! I put rtv and change oil. After 2 hours running check engine light came up 2 codes the 26 and 87 leak in the manifold. Opened the PCV valve and is bad! Ordered the new piece from Amazon and it is new again. My car does not consume oil nor problems just that one!
I'm currently getting code P2187 with the 2.0T engine in my 2010 VW EOS. Now I'm trying to diagnose the issue. So far the 2.0T is proving to be another expensive engine to maintain. Not quite as bad as the 2.8L VM-Motori diesel that "was" in my 2005 Jeep KJ (swapped in a 3.7L Gas V6 in its place) but at least all the non engine related parts are cheap on the Jeep when compared to the parts on the EOS. While the VW EOS is a pleasure to drive I don't think it will be a long term keeper.
Paul, I replaced the PCV Valve as indicated to solve code P0507. Once I was done, the engine light was still on and I could hear a slow clicking sound. The revs of the car were not smooth. Any idea what could be the problem? Thanks!
Suspect this is the problem on my 2008 CC 3.6 vr6. Slight misfire at idle. Recently had to have throttle body cleaned whistle noise from engine but only when under load. Had fault codes showing vacuum leaks, Dodgy o2 sensors and cat converter fault codes. From what iv been told on this particular engine you have to replace the whole valve cover as it's a non serviceable part and comes as part of valve cover assembly. Is this correct?
Would a bad PCV Valve possibly cause a code P2187? I think I have been hearing a whistling or whirring noise upon accelerating but my check engine light hasn't come on until last night? This looks like a repair I could definitely do I think.
Is it true that a high amount of pressure when trying to remove the oil cap is a strong sign of PCV failure? When I remove the cap, the engine stutters a bit and seems out of sync until i put the cap back on. I have codes P2187, P2015, and P2279 and the intake manifold was replaced about 6K ago under warranty. Coils and Spark plugs have been replaced as well. It can rough at idle as times, but nothing too consistent.
nkjordan23 It sounds like it could be a PCV valve but the P2015 would not likely have anything to do with that. You should address the other problems first meaning the lean fault which is likely PCV related.
Is the pcv valve for the 2.0 the same as the 1.8t ? I got a 2014 passat tsi 1.8 and my pcv i think is bad and all i keep finding are the ones for a 2.0
I have a 2013 gti and I've tried removing my pcv to inspect it as I suspect it's stuck open. however after I've removed all the screws the pcv is stuck on there, it won't budge at all and I didn't want to pull on it too hard and break something, so I aborted the job and decided to come back to it at a later date. Is there any advice for getting it off easy without breaking something?
How much does the "rear pcv valve pipe" cost? I cant find the part # anywhere. I have a 2014 vw Jetta se 1.8t gas . Can you help me with the part number .
My mechancic is replacing this on my 06 vw gti. He saw it in the error codes everytime he scans. My car stutters at idle and idles rough sometimes. Could this be part of the problem?

If you have some oil in spark plug well, is it too late to change this? Will changing this help it not seep anymore in the spark plug well?

I think I've narrowed things down to the pcv. I was getting a bit of oil on the MAP sensor. The car was running hesitate on acceleration. I removed my oil cap while engine was running, no change at all to idle. That leads me to believe that it's the pcv assembly. Am I right?
Thanks. I did mine today on my 2012 vw cc. This videos really helped me.
Question: I had my PCV valve replaced less than 2 yrs ago nd now it is failing again, my idle is raving high and low and when I took a look at the engine there's a lot of oil coming out near the back of the engine block, just as you mention on your video. Is this common for it top fail in less than 50K miles?
I don't know if you know but there's a newer version of it that this video doesn't mention for the VW CC. Try the newest revision.
After having misfires in cylinders 1 & 3, I replaced all spark plugs and ignition coils. The misfire code hasn't cleared itself and seems rough when I start it up. I pulled the spark plugs a day after installing new ones to find the engine is running rich. Is the next step the PCV valve?
***UPDATE*** - Got a diagnosis done and it confirmed my hunch. The VW dealer determined that the PCV valve was leaking and there was significant carbon build up inside the intake manifold. All of this I expected. What I didn't expect was they found oil leaks on the upper and lower timing chain covers...which they suggested should be replaced. As well as a leak at the rear main seal. So this leads me to my new set of questions.
Wouldn't the PCV cause oil leaks in all of these places? Why replace the whole cover instead of just the gasket? I'm not mechanically inclined enough to do the timing chain repairs and would have those done at the dealer, but I'm trying to mitigate cost here and do only what needs to be done. Also, with the engine having 120k miles would it be a good idea to go ahead and replace the timing chain? Or should I just not try and fix what isn't broken?
Thanks!
Probably useless for you, but for those reading this, for my CC I did exactly what this guy did and then followed up with a PCV Valve and my rich problem went away.

I was getting codes P0507 and P0171. The PCV valve is linked to both and changing it cleared both codes. Was easy. Was missing one of the screws which will have to wait until I get to town to get another.
Thank you for making this video, it made changing my PCV and fixing my P2187 code super easy.
gpaje Awesome. Glad it was helpful
Hello, @Deutsche Auto Parts . I replaced the diaphragm and the howling noise disapear, but days later I noticed that I had a oil leak between the engine and the transmision (DSG). Could help me if This leak can cause the no-replace the all PCV valvue for a new one?
* the engine sounds good
Many thanks
Regards
You are amazing, great videos! A question...at approx 5:30 you are connecting a "plastic" hose that you mention to be careful with not to crack. Where does this hose go to? I found some oily area around the area where the big Air intake pipe goes . I wonder what this could do if I found some oil around that area. Thanks, you are the man!
I have a 2014 Volkswagen Jetta TDI do you have a video out showing how to replace the pcv valve on the TDI? Thanks so much for your time.
Will a bad PCV valve cause oil consumption? My son’s 2013 VW CC is burning much oil but no visible leaks. Please advise. Oil pressure light flashes on then goes off.
Just a quick question, What trorque setting should the PCV bolts be Torqued to?
And please dont answer hand tight.
I have a VW mk7 2.0 clubsport 2016 with an engine light, the trouble code is P227000
lambda probe 2 cylinder row 1 signal too lean. what do you think?
A bad labda probe
Or
A bad PCV Valve?
thanks for your response!
Thank you so much for this! Helped me replace the PCV on my wife's Tiguan.
Thank you so much for the helpful video. I DIY'd this today on my 2014 Audi A5 cabriolet. Your gave me the confidence to do so.
2:45 guy really just easily pulled out the coils with his bare hands like the Hulk, jesus
Mine pop right out... there’s a bit of suction but that’s about it
I'm putting my engine back together. I bought the bent valve kit from you guys and I was what the valve cover bolts torque spec is. I'm having trouble finding it. also are they stretch bolts?
Excellent tutorial. I was able to easily replace the part on my 09 Eos. Thank you.
Zach Southerland No problem glad we could help. Please consider us next time you are in need of parts.
Will this cause car to turn off at low rpms? Like when parking or at a drive thru
@Deutsche Auto parts
My pcv has failed on my B7 A4 2.0 tfsi and I'm considering deleting it. I have seen a variety of different kits and set ups to do this, but I would like to know....what set up/kits (if any) would you guys recommend as the best way to do it? You guys seem to really know your stuff, and so any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks 👍
should this be done as PM? or just wait until issues are present? i hear this failing can lead to the failure of the rear main seal. 2014 jetta 1.8 tsi
Is it normal for battle to die when you remove the oil dipstick with the engine running?
2012 VW CC. Consuming a LOT of oil. Could this be the issue? Bad turbo? Bad piston ring?
I have a volkswagen cc 2012 . My question is can a bad pcv valve cause a low oil pressure?
I have a question, the passages side valve, on top of valve cover what is that called , I think its where the fresh air comes in, my question is can that passenger side valve be replaced i can't find a video about it, its just a hose that connects to something there on top of valve
2012 audi s line 2.0tfsi. Obvious oil in #1 cylinder. Which is causing a misfire. And throws the misfire code. Buy what I was wondering is. Wouldn't the pcv/oil seperator cause the excess oil buildup in the cylinder ? It's only on #1 cylinder. I already changed out one coil pack to see if it changed or ran better in which it did. But eventually misfires again. When I clean the plug it starts all over. Would the pcv/oil seperator cause the excessive oil buildup ? It's smokes only in that cylinder.
I have a same issue in a 2012 beetle. Cyl 1 and 4. Did you change your PCV, and did it fix it? I cleaned my coils and spark plugs and mine runs for now. Just waiting for it to misfire again.
Question.. I have an 11 A3 2.0. Just noticed it’s using oil and idle gets erratic when I pull the dipstick like it’s sucking air. Would this be caused by the Pcv valve not working correctly? Thanks!
Thanks for the direct and to the point video. Helped me out a lot. Saved me money.
Got a 2010 CC with the 2.0t and the engine has a lean code and multiple misfire code. MAF reading under 1 on live data and no vacuum leaks found. Crankcase vacuum when removing oil filler cap is minimal when running. Could this be my issue? I replaced MAF sensor to no avail and with same low readings. Bout to pull hair out!!! Thanks in advance.
Why are there two hoses connected to the PCV Valve?
One that connects to the intake manifold and the other to the air intake. But why?
can a broken rear and front hose connected to pcv valve cause vacuum leak and rough idle with check engine light. My rear hose of PCV valve is broken into 2 parts, but when showed to mechanic he said the front hose connected to the intake manifold needs to b replaced
I have a B7 audi a4 2.0t quattro, last Saturday I was driving and came to a four way. when it came to my turn to go the car completely shut off steering wheel locked up and brakes locked up. checked the battery and thats not the problem, but I notice that my pcv was crack. just wondering if that was one of the symptoms?
No need for specific torque specs?
On my car the front tube goes straight to the oil separator and it doesn’t have the one on the back. But I’m pretty certain that the pcv valve has gone bad. It has a lot of mods and I’m not sure what to order
Ok. Thank you! I was hoping not to bring it in as to avoid costs. Again Great video. Very informative.
Hello, question.. I have a nice oil leak coming from somewhere and I've thought about replacing the pcv valve. I haven't done so because every video I see about failures of pcv you're suppose to get codes or some kind of symptoms. I have no symptoms or vacuum from dip stick, car runs smooth. I have thought it's a rear main seal leak but since pcv hasn't failed( to my knowledge) where else can I check for leaks. Side note as well, car leaks just sitting as well which also leads me to believe its main seal. Any ideas on this?
The rear main can fail on its own. It's just often caused to fail prematurely after a pcv failure. Sounds like you might have a bad rear main, but a second opinion is in order.
Deutsche Auto Parts - sounds like I be getting a pcv and main seal fixed, I was afraid of that. Thanks for your time, also once this is fixed I'll be ordering your stage 1+ ecu/dsg flash, main seal kinda put that back.
Deutsche Auto Parts I installed a new pcv valve before getting main seal repaired. Installed it and now have check engine light, will be getting the code read but from researching everything suggest pcv valve is stuck open. Idle is normal, when I open oil cap when car is on it doesn't stutter like before. Thoughts?
I HAVE A 2010 A5 CABRIOLET. WILL REPLACING THIS FIX MY OIL BURNING ISSUE? BURNING ABOUT A QUART PER 130 MILES OR SO?
what is the torque spec for those screws of pcv?
What about whisle noise, low oil pressure and no codes at all? Is it PCV valve?
Hi! I have a 2008 passat CC i get a very rough idle whole car is shaking, missfire cods and system to lean fault code, could it be the pcv valve? i have already trying cleaning MAF sensor changing sparkplugs and coils.
My Audi A4 2.0T b8 model failed for 1st time after 94,000miles! Friday morning at a stop light suddenly low pressure 3 bips~. So I test the oil port below the oil filter and was perfect 26psi low and higher at 3500rpm, but the pressure light only came out 1 time. Well people said ufff could be sludge. Took the oil pan and my engine looks like a brand new engine gold perfect and strainer better than the one in my kitchen! I put rtv and change oil. After 2 hours running check engine light came up 2 codes the 26 and 87 leak in the manifold. Opened the PCV valve and is bad! Ordered the new piece from Amazon and it is new again. My car does not consume oil nor problems just that one!
Would 2013 allroad have same issues? I'm going stage1 tune and I have been suggested to change mine. What do you think?
VW dealer quoted me almost $700.00. Outrageous.
Just fixed mine for $50
I'm currently getting code P2187 with the 2.0T engine in my 2010 VW EOS. Now I'm trying to diagnose the issue.
So far the 2.0T is proving to be another expensive engine to maintain. Not quite as bad as the 2.8L VM-Motori diesel that "was" in my 2005 Jeep KJ (swapped in a 3.7L Gas V6 in its place) but at least all the non engine related parts are cheap on the Jeep when compared to the parts on the EOS. While the VW EOS is a pleasure to drive I don't think it will be a long term keeper.
Could you tell me what is the Torque spec for the nuts? I saw 8 pound foot for them.
Paul, I replaced the PCV Valve as indicated to solve code P0507. Once I was done, the engine light was still on and I could hear a slow clicking sound. The revs of the car were not smooth. Any idea what could be the problem? Thanks!
Suspect this is the problem on my 2008 CC 3.6 vr6. Slight misfire at idle. Recently had to have throttle body cleaned whistle noise from engine but only when under load. Had fault codes showing vacuum leaks, Dodgy o2 sensors and cat converter fault codes. From what iv been told on this particular engine you have to replace the whole valve cover as it's a non serviceable part and comes as part of valve cover assembly. Is this correct?
is this the part that causes high oil consumption on my 2011 audi avant wagon a4 2.o?
Don no those are the valves and ring seals that are too small letting oil bypass the cylinders and burning thru te exhaust.
HELP. What the valve right at the back left of the rocker cover. Behind the 1 coil pack? It has a pipe that runs over the rocker to the inlet? Thanks
Would a bad PCV Valve possibly cause a code P2187? I think I have been hearing a whistling or whirring noise upon accelerating but my check engine light hasn't come on until last night? This looks like a repair I could definitely do I think.
Yes you likely have a bad PCV valve
Is it true that a high amount of pressure when trying to remove the oil cap is a strong sign of PCV failure? When I remove the cap, the engine stutters a bit and seems out of sync until i put the cap back on. I have codes P2187, P2015, and P2279 and the intake manifold was replaced about 6K ago under warranty. Coils and Spark plugs have been replaced as well. It can rough at idle as times, but nothing too consistent.
nkjordan23 It sounds like it could be a PCV valve but the P2015 would not likely have anything to do with that. You should address the other problems first meaning the lean fault which is likely PCV related.
Can this little thing decrease oil consumption?
Is the pcv valve for the 2.0 the same as the 1.8t ? I got a 2014 passat tsi 1.8 and my pcv i think is bad and all i keep finding are the ones for a 2.0
What torque should the bolts be tightened to when re-fitting the new PCV? Thanks
I need to know this too??
11 Nm
can it cause the epc and oil pressure low light to come on? with the vehicle cutting off at idle or when gear is engaged.
Question can a faulty PCV valve make car use more oil consumption?
We have an oil leak problem coming from this OCV valve. we have replaced it with a new one twice and still leaking. Any ideas?
I have a 2013 gti and I've tried removing my pcv to inspect it as I suspect it's stuck open. however after I've removed all the screws the pcv is stuck on there, it won't budge at all and I didn't want to pull on it too hard and break something, so I aborted the job and decided to come back to it at a later date. Is there any advice for getting it off easy without breaking something?
+Anthony Masciarelli It should come off pretty easily. You might have been missing a bolt.
How much does the "rear pcv valve pipe" cost? I cant find the part # anywhere. I have a 2014 vw Jetta se 1.8t gas . Can you help me with the part number .
Does that cause you to burn alot of oil? ?
Gotta problem mr. Paul.
I have a 2011 Jetta the engine cover is not that easy to get off any pointers?
If you can't get an engine cover off there's no hope for you.
Is normal to see some oil in the intake manifold and turbo inlet hose coming from this valve?
My mechancic is replacing this on my 06 vw gti. He saw it in the error codes everytime he scans. My car stutters at idle and idles rough sometimes. Could this be part of the problem?
should you replace the pcv hose/tube when replacing the PCV
