I've now blown through my 3rd pcv all oem so I'm at a loss. Something is causing it and I'm ****** if I know why or my mechanic knows why.

It's fine I even plugged one end and blew into the other and it held pressure

Sorry its the cdaa 1.8tfsi engine

Hi all Anyone got any experience with this? Car runs like a bag of shxt on idle, if I remove the pcv to intake pipe and block off the intake side hole it runs sweet. Replaced pcv as the diaphragm had a hole in it, new one made car run good but only for a matter of minutes. Whats...

So found ocv was knackered last night, the little hole at the top was blowing air like a steam train Replaced with new and car ran mint on idle for about 10 minutes now just as bad as before Same fault, intake air leak and multiple random misfire. I bet if I left it longer the lean code will...

Intake manifold was bodged by previous owner, took ages to get right was running like new but now leaking into air intake I'll dig around see what I can find

Hi guys/gals, I'm back again with more trouble I've got some codes now from vcds but I'm struggling to identify the one thing that is likely to be the cause. Could anyone help shed some light please?

Injectors replaced, found more issues including the world's most irresponsible bodge job ever! All new injectors and repair kits, plus service kit and it's running much better (surprisingly it's louder too, which I'm not complaining about ) luckily having a brother in the busines meant I got...

Well today I was able to get back down mum's and take a proper look at what was going on, with a full assortment of tools required. First thing was compression test, this came up trumps! 160psi on all cylinders. Which was very strange but reassuring none the less! Managed to get some of the...

That was my first thought... I've been looking all over, unfortunately been stuck at work late today so haven't had chance for a compression test but I'm not too sure what that will tell me... I'm hoping that worst case it's the head as it will make my life a lot easier than pulling the engine...

Oh... That's not great! Doesn't fill with much hope haha! What was your solution? Rebuild or new engine?

Currently wondering if it's piston rings, valve/valve stem seal It's isolated to cyl 1 so suspect that it's the worst but I've heard whisper of pcv (I believe this would affect all cylinders though

Hi guys. Bad day for me! Driving down the road then all of a sudden rough running on low revs flashing eml and EPC light, limped it a mile to mum's house where I have parked it up and plugged into vcds. Cylinder 1 misfire Cylinder 1 deactivated Cleared codes, swapped coil pack restarted...

Truthfully normally I clone the codes but I forgot this time. I'm not one for cutting corners because it bites you, but this time I made the mistake and didn't have the back up
