Thank you man!! I wasted $700 to get my car fix and no mechanic knew about Audis like you! They change a lot of things and now that i saw your video I fixed it myself!! Thank You!! The Best 🔥🔥🔥🙏🏼💪🏼
I have a 2014 Audi and this is the part I need to replace on my car. The shop was going charge me almost $500.00 for the part and labor. Thank you sir for sharing.
hey man so fixed mines bro ! i ordered oem Audi coil packs make sure they're the right length the first set was a millimeter off idk if that changes the reliability, but also change the spark plugs as well as fresh oil and filter, and i new MAF sensor and that'll fix your problem! i thought it was my PCV but no i was wrong ! the parts came out to be $530 and the tools costed $240 so in my opinion its worth doing your self took me about 2 hrs for all of it ! best of luck to you man!
Excellent tutorial, I learned a lot! Especially liked that you disassembled the PCV valve to show the failure mechanism, and explained why the engine (briefly) ran rough after the repair. Cheers!
Thanks for the video. My 2009 A3 TFSI 2.0 has 90,000 miles on it and I noticed the same issue with the oil fill cap being pulled by vacuum back into the engine. I replaced the PCV breather and found that the old one didn't pass the pressure blow test. The diaphragm was also torn in three places. This was an easy fix thanks to your explanation. I'm building up confidence to replace my timing chain and tensioner myself.
@@tubbycustard8866 Not yet, on the timing chain. I'm still working up the courage to take it on. The tensioner issue is a time bomb but I've been keeping the rpm's down in the meantime. The PVC breather replacement fixed a bunch of minor issues such as no more oil seepage from the upper timing chain cover, better gas mileage
@@factotum2883 theres a way to check how much stretch there is on the chain w OBD scanner, I believe ppl say if its over +/- 5 degrees then it should be done asap
@@tubbycustard8866 I'm at 4 degrees now. Thanks for the tip. The tensioner with the defective design is the real time bomb. It could go at any time. I'm not driving the car now and this will be a project sometime later this summer.
I have the diaphragm for a good 4 months and now I’m just getting around to fixing it, along with the spark plugs and coils. Very good information about this, I knew I could do it but today I will complete it
My b7 is doing this, ordering the pcv tonight. You make it look easy and simple, you dont sit here and commendate yourself bc “its so so hard” look at me.
Good repair . I nearly pissed my self laughing when you started it and it idled then ran crap before the Italian tuneup kicked in . Good video and credit for showing the defective diaphragm in the old PCV valve keep it up. :)
He knows them inside out and he is still learning new things. What does that tell you ?? In keeping with modern trends these cars are very diverse, diverse in throwing up so many issues and problems that you cannot keep track of them all !! Its a value added sale when you buy one of these you get the car and all of the problems !!
I just paid $1202 for my local dealer to perform this fix on my 2010 A5 that has already had the full rebuild for oil consumption. Drat. I could hear it whistling on acceleration at ~2300 rpm and thought it was turbo leak. Engine light came on with my wife driving and car started running rough and lurching. Took it to the dealer. Fixed, but your video is 8 minutes and they charged: $787 in labor, $258 in parts, $60 for oil & filter.
I was getting the dreaded 'Low Oil Pressure, Switch Engine Off Immediately' warning on my dash (2010 A5 2.0T) and that freaked me right out, I managed to limp the car home (about half mile) shutting off the engine every time the warning came on (only happened at or around idle), saw some of your videos and some other mechanic's videos after noticing how difficult it was to take the oil fill cap off while engine was running (I thought that wasn't right, should be way easier) so I ordered a replacement PCV diaphragm incase I broke it when I removed it to check, sure enough there was a half inch tear in the diaphragm, replaced the cap with a new one, no more extreme vacuum in the crankcase, let the engine run for a half hour, got up to temp, made a short run out, no warning on the dash, engine sounds normal. I ordered some low and high oil pressure switches just incase the warning comes back as I'm fairly confident it's not the actual oil pump, going to take it for a longer drive today... fingers crossed!
Sounds very familiar. I have that same alarm pop up every 2 years (I have the car 6 years now), each time I need to replace the pcv and it is good to go again until the pcv fails again exactly 2 years in (give or take a month).
Love your videos brother!!! I own a 2010 audi a5 2.0 quattro and I've had every problem in the book! You have helped with many of your videos! I appreciate it brother!
Thanks a million for this video. I done these checks/previous checks you showed and it all did as advised. £92 from audi, design revised in 2017 so hopefully a much better design... also the round cap hole near sucked my finger in so there's definitely vacuum! I'll get the part fitted, picked it up this morning.. I'll update once installed.
Thank you Naptown youre about to save me some good cheddar for summer brother. I was really about to give my 2012 a4 up till i found this channel. Wish i found you when i had to replace my turbo 3 weeks after i bought it in April! Nah but you helped me diagnos and replace my hpfp about a month ago. Hopefully this new $220 gates PCV and new plugs finally fix my car. Fingers f****** crossed.
Some person had got rid of the pcv . His contention was that it allowed soot to build up in the manifold. More importantly he said it did absolutely nothing for the vehicle. He had setup some kind of collection system and had blanked the pcv right out of the equation. Can't remember the forum, but worth a look.
@naptowntuner your correct about the pcv creating vaccume. I learned that lesson this weekend when I reassembled the fuel injectors along with intake breather and "the whole shebang". I was having a misfire on cylinder 2 and a random on cylinder 4. I almost believe this was all cause by a vaccume leak. That nipple on the intake under your index finger where you removed the hose for pvc. If you had blocked that it would have run perfect. When the pcv fails that nipple can be blocked off to create vaccume.
Seems like dejavu every video I watch of yours....YES...the dealer stripped one of my pcv screws. I will be addressing that when I reseal the cam tray. All good content. Thanks Naptown.
Ooo hey I got my name mentioned haha. After I put my k04 Turbo on and I was data logging with IE it blew that hose off during hard pulls. My car ran terrible and I thought I blew my motor. I got home and saw that hose was blew off and was so relieved. I am very new to these cars so I thought my motor was done. I zip tied my hoses on so that wouldnt happen again. Only had it since March I think. 3 weeks after I bought the car I noticed it burned a quart of oil every 300 miles and it started to smoke real bad. I wish I did research and knew these cars had that issue. I had to remove the motor and replace the pistons and rings.
Great content! I don't own an audi though :) Sometimes i use cigarettes to find vacuum leaks but I think it wouldn't help in case of an internal leak such as this one
Hey thanks! This video is super helpful! I just bought a Audi A4 B8 and while the engine was running I tried to lift the oil cap and there was medium resistance so I'm gonna change it preemptively
I'm late, but that's fake news. This engine naturally has vacuum. Lifting your oil cap SHOULD have resistance. Changing your Oil separator (people keep calling it a PCV Valve........) does absolutely ZERO.
That flatrate hustle is still strong... feel free to slow things down a bit (longer videos generate more revenue once your channel is approved for monetization). =)
Great video! Any advice for this situation for my 2011 A4 Avant? I’m getting all sorts of error codes including the P1287 -System too lean at idle. The 1st mechanic said it was the GIAC ECM flash tuning I had done. The 2nd mechanic (who did the tuning years ago) said it’s not the tuning. The 2nd mechanic thinks it’s an vacuum leak. 1st mechanic found a lot of error codes mentioning misfires, cylinders, air leak. I even have error messages about the parking brake and the ABS system popping up on my display panel. My check engine light is on (not flashing) and it’s running a bit better. Before the idle was way off going up and down and it sounded like it was going to die. All the research I did thought it was the PCV/oil separator but I had that replaced a year ago and if you can pull the oil cap off easily while it’s running then it’s not the oil separator. 1st mechanic replaced the spark plugs last week. The coils were replaced a year ago as well. Next step is to take it to the dealer to do a full diagnosis. Any suggestions?
@@paulgarcia6257 Sorry for the late reply. It was the crumbled ITG air filter that was causing the issues. The dealer vacuumed it out and the tuning shop replaced the filter saying they were bad that year. So I only had to pay the $160 dealer diagnostic fee. Whew!!! I'll take that any day vs what it could have been. Thanks again!
Hi Naptown, I replaced my new oil separator pcv on my Audi Q5 2014, as you described in video. I checked carefully all screws fixed exact and correctly. after I turned my I found misfire and EPV light on, I checked on OBD Codes, there are five fault cods, P0300, P0301, P0302, P0303, P0304. where am I wrong. my car was working good and I never see these fault codes before. Thank you for your help!
Thanks for the video, I did that test and I definitely have to replace that valve, I have an oil pressure error, could it be due to that valve as well?
Hi bro! I follow your videos from Turkey, first of all, thank you for your efforts and the great work you do. The problem I am experiencing is a very high vacuum feeling when I open the engine cover. There is so much vacuum that it even shrinks the pipe in the vacuum line. I just replaced the PCV valve with the original one (Mann-Hummel brand), I am waiting for your solution suggestions God bless your hands!
Bought one of these cars recently and keep finding my way back to your videos! Great content! Would you know what the cause is for the PCV to suck up oil? I have the black top on it so bought another black top but when I took off the old unit it had quite a bit of oil pooling in the outlet to the turbo and in the outlet to the intake. Since replacing the new one seems to be doing the same. So I don't think the PCV is at fault... Cheers
The black top or the semi-transparent are just different revisions of the same exact thing. This valve takes out the extra (hot) air from the engine and send it back into the intake system. This hot air transfer with it a bit of oil over the time. the diaphragm over the time between getting hot and cold repeatedly wears down and the only solution is to change the whole valve. There are other solutions such as modifying it by installing a catch can but you'll have to clean the can regularly.
I went through this hassle with that worthless PCV awhile back got fed up trying to get it to run right.with the catch can it works great,finally I tied a rag into a knot clipped off the ends and shoved it into the tube so it was hidden inside the tube and would pass smog.It worked then I went home and put the catch can back on because here in California catch cans are not legal.god this state is so screwed up.
I hate those PCV valves. In 4 years I will be replacing it for the 4th time. And I don't know if its coincidence or not, but they are failing just after I do something with the engine. At first it failed on the long journey. I replaced it wit OEM VAG one and it went fine. After like 6 months I replaced timing belt with tensioner and after startup I noticed rough Idle/misfire. I spent a whole day searching what did I wrong with timing belt replacement, but did not find anything. Then I took the car on the road and noticed idle jumping from 900 to 2000rpm, then I knew that PCV valve gone again as it was the same symptom I had earlier. I decided no to buy OEM, but bought Vaico PCV. Then after 1 year I decided to install Ramair induction kit. After installing it, I start the car aaaand rough idle... After 1 year, just now I replaced cam timing chain and tensioner. And guess what... Rough idle again. The engine ran completely fine before the works. I didn't put hand on it, just disconnected the plastic hose from it. Thinking about installing oil catch can and get rid of that shit... My engine EA113 2.0 147kw
07 vw Rabbit 2.5L. 168k miles. Sputtering when accelerating/gas cutting out fast and air sucking in the oil dipstick tube. I replaced the PCV valve cover Diaphragm, Coils, Plugs, 1st Fuel Injector, all new Injector O-Rings. Probably needs a new Valve Cover?
So I've heard of putting your finger over that little hole and feeling for vacuum but what I think I have is pressure coming out of that hole. Is that normal?
Curious about the breather hose on 2015 newer breather hoses on the 2.0 that runs from that intake, mounted to the top on the engine, looks like a light socket. I think it’s a filter though, what’s the importance of this?
My 2007 a3 has a p0171 code and a p0296 code. To lean bank 1. I ran some injector cleaner and it seems to have fixed the problem for a bit but the p0171 code came back. Cleaned maf and the code went away for a week then came back. I'm thinking pcv or the o2 sensor. Check for leakes near the intake and there was a Crack in plastic. Used zip tape to cover and it has been running good for a week until I parked it waiting to redo breaks when I have time. Hope the code doesn't come back but if it does I'll try this first when code comes up to eliminate this as option
Should there be any air coming out of the hole on the diaphragm? Mine has a leak there barely noticeable and cars idling like shit and giving me misfires in all cylinders.
I have recently swaped my PCV with a knock of china unit a year ago and ever since i noticed that oil os being pushed out of several areas. Front timing cover, valve cover and even around the turbo i see seepage. Is there to much crank case pressure which cause oil to be pushed out? Is that a faulty PCV or more serious like piston blow by? The car runs healthy as i bought it new. It now has 160k miles and i drive like a grandpa so it has been babied
Do you have a video on how to replace the turbo cooling hoses. I believe i have a leak there. I have replaced the water pump thanks to your videos however im still loosing coolant. The rear flange is completely dried so no leak there
Greetings from Greece. Thanks for the video. I have an Audi A4 B8 1.8 tsi caba engine with 4007 and 4219 fault codes. The pcv and air intake manifold and rear main seal are new original, also the coils and plugs are new and there is no any oil leaks. Still rough idle remains. Any idea?
Could this cause an oil leak and smell in the cabin? After warm up 750 is idle speed. Is this clearly PCV damage? In the long term, what damage can be done to the engine in such a situation? tell me please
Can the PCV valve be the sole cause of a severe 'oil consumption' problem? My 2015 Q5 consumes 1qt every 150 miles. Not sure if it's worthwhile trying to change the PCV valve first to see if that fixes the problem, or should I just go straight to the piston job.
Hey, great video, I have an old a4 b6 cab with 2.5 V6 TDi 8H BDG the PCV is down in the V under a load of stuff in the way, have you done any work on those babies, she is a project car. Love your channel. Happy new year. 😁👍
How often do you suggest changing out the PCV? With the rear main seal in mind. Reason I ask is because my 09 Glorious station wagon Passat has 100k miles on it's current PCV. Even after trim reset, my short trim stays 0 and long trim at 2.7. Not sure I need to change anything...but...when do you change the PCV? Only on fail?
I first thought you replaced it with the Chinese crappy part when it started running crappy, then you cleaned the cylinders by juicing the engine! HAHAHA
Hey naptown just want to know if I left the pipe off the PVC system open to atmosphere and plugged the intake home we can't case pressure still be regulated out through the PVC valve. I would like to just vent the crankcase pressure 2 atmosphere Vita air filter just for the old-style PC valve systems for the V8. What does work or would it cause increased crankcase pressure. I would rather do that then install a catch can that I had to service every few weeks. What's your thoughts on that method to keep oil out of the intake. I already did this for my old Volkswagen Jetta that had the timing belt 2.0 in it that was non turbo charged. Thanks for any advice.
great Video..I have a 2016 Q5 with 128k Miles and every 400 miles I need to add a quart of oil… my mechanic told me that this may be the problem… can anyone help me..?? WOULD changing the PCV SOLVE MY PROBLEM? What do you think? I look forward to your comments.
Man I've cracked the cap on 2 of those diaphragm parts, even though I've carefully used a tiny screwdriver to pry it open....I replaced the breather assm. on my 2013 VW CC and for a few months in ran well. Now it's consuming oil ( a quart a mo.) and when I pull the dipstick or oil fill cap off while running, it starts chugging AND there's a lot of vacuum pressure. A couple days ago, I reinstalled the OEM VW PCV assm. with a new diaphragm, since the orig. was torn is multiple places, but it still has the vacuum pressure in the dipstick and oil fill cap. Does that mean this breather assm. is faulty already???

Bought one of these cars recently and keep finding my way back to your videos! Great content!
Would you know what the cause is for the PCV to suck up oil? I have the black top on it so bought another black top but when I took off the old unit it had quite a bit of oil pooling in the outlet to the turbo and in the outlet to the intake. Since replacing the new one seems to be doing the same. So I don't think the PCV is at fault... Cheers
The black top or the semi-transparent are just different revisions of the same exact thing. This valve takes out the extra (hot) air from the engine and send it back into the intake system. This hot air transfer with it a bit of oil over the time. the diaphragm over the time between getting hot and cold repeatedly wears down and the only solution is to change the whole valve. There are other solutions such as modifying it by installing a catch can but you'll have to clean the can regularly.
I have the "low pressure, turn off engine " light on. Replaced both sensors, still same light. Do you recommend the pcv valve?
👽 Italian tune-up LMFAO
Fix It Again Tony
You are sick bro!!! Appreciated
I gave you a thumps up cuz you are super cool...God bless you Sir--Easy as ABC or 123 my late Dad would say. Thanks bro
I went through this hassle with that worthless PCV awhile back got fed up trying to get it to run right.with the catch can it works great,finally I tied a rag into a knot clipped off the ends and shoved it into the tube so it was hidden inside the tube and would pass smog.It worked then I went home and put the catch can back on because here in California catch cans are not legal.god this state is so screwed up.
I hate those PCV valves. In 4 years I will be replacing it for the 4th time. And I don't know if its coincidence or not, but they are failing just after I do something with the engine. At first it failed on the long journey. I replaced it wit OEM VAG one and it went fine. After like 6 months I replaced timing belt with tensioner and after startup I noticed rough Idle/misfire. I spent a whole day searching what did I wrong with timing belt replacement, but did not find anything. Then I took the car on the road and noticed idle jumping from 900 to 2000rpm, then I knew that PCV valve gone again as it was the same symptom I had earlier. I decided no to buy OEM, but bought Vaico PCV. Then after 1 year I decided to install Ramair induction kit. After installing it, I start the car aaaand rough idle... After 1 year, just now I replaced cam timing chain and tensioner. And guess what... Rough idle again. The engine ran completely fine before the works. I didn't put hand on it, just disconnected the plastic hose from it. Thinking about installing oil catch can and get rid of that shit... My engine EA113 2.0 147kw
07 vw Rabbit 2.5L. 168k miles. Sputtering when accelerating/gas cutting out fast and air sucking in the oil dipstick tube. I replaced the PCV valve cover Diaphragm, Coils, Plugs, 1st Fuel Injector, all new Injector O-Rings. Probably needs a new Valve Cover?
You are the man!
So I've heard of putting your finger over that little hole and feeling for vacuum but what I think I have is pressure coming out of that hole. Is that normal?
Curious about the breather hose on 2015 newer breather hoses on the 2.0 that runs from that intake, mounted to the top on the engine, looks like a light socket. I think it’s a filter though, what’s the importance of this?
I love this guy 👏🏾
Naptune is a beast
Yeah you are cool..
My 2007 a3 has a p0171 code and a p0296 code. To lean bank 1. I ran some injector cleaner and it seems to have fixed the problem for a bit but the p0171 code came back. Cleaned maf and the code went away for a week then came back. I'm thinking pcv or the o2 sensor. Check for leakes near the intake and there was a Crack in plastic. Used zip tape to cover and it has been running good for a week until I parked it waiting to redo breaks when I have time. Hope the code doesn't come back but if it does I'll try this first when code comes up to eliminate this as option
I have 2013 Audi A4 Premium I saw my pcv valve leaks oil around it and is that mean bad or what? Should be oil in pcv valve?
Lol Italian tune up .. love this guy
Should there be any air coming out of the hole on the diaphragm? Mine has a leak there barely noticeable and cars idling like shit and giving me misfires in all cylinders.
Great video, please keep it up!
Thanks. How to know this piece is broken? What is the diagnosis?
excellent, I will be doing PCV replace soon
I have recently swaped my PCV with a knock of china unit a year ago and ever since i noticed that oil os being pushed out of several areas. Front timing cover, valve cover and even around the turbo i see seepage. Is there to much crank case pressure which cause oil to be pushed out? Is that a faulty PCV or more serious like piston blow by? The car runs healthy as i bought it new. It now has 160k miles and i drive like a grandpa so it has been babied
Lol thanks Naptown I gave you a tumbs up because you're cool! 😁
awesome vid. you earned a subscriber and like with this tutorial.
I will surely give a thumps up and of course you are COOL👍👍👍👍👍😂😂😂
Do you have a video on how to replace the turbo cooling hoses. I believe i have a leak there. I have replaced the water pump thanks to your videos however im still loosing coolant. The rear flange is completely dried so no leak there
Greetings from Greece. Thanks for the video. I have an Audi A4 B8 1.8 tsi caba engine with 4007 and 4219 fault codes. The pcv and air intake manifold and rear main seal are new original, also the coils and plugs are new and there is no any oil leaks. Still rough idle remains. Any idea?
Awesome video! Thanks
Ma man you are Awesome. Thank you
Could this cause an oil leak and smell in the cabin? After warm up 750 is idle speed. Is this clearly PCV damage? In the long term, what damage can be done to the engine in such a situation? tell me please
i need to no the damage also
What might be the cause of sparkplugs getting oil on them audi Q5 2.0t tfsi 2010
Can the PCV valve be the sole cause of a severe 'oil consumption' problem? My 2015 Q5 consumes 1qt every 150 miles. Not sure if it's worthwhile trying to change the PCV valve first to see if that fixes the problem, or should I just go straight to the piston job.
Some people say if you replace pcv you must also change E Vap sensor, how TRUE is that?
Hey, great video, I have an old a4 b6 cab with 2.5 V6 TDi 8H BDG the PCV is down in the V under a load of stuff in the way, have you done any work on those babies, she is a project car. Love your channel. Happy new year. 😁👍
How often do you suggest changing out the PCV? With the rear main seal in mind.
Reason I ask is because my 09 Glorious station wagon Passat has 100k miles on it's current PCV. Even after trim reset, my short trim stays 0 and long trim at 2.7. Not sure I need to change anything...but...when do you change the PCV? Only on fail?
I first thought you replaced it with the Chinese crappy part when it started running crappy, then you cleaned the cylinders by juicing the engine! HAHAHA
Hey naptown just want to know if I left the pipe off the PVC system open to atmosphere and plugged the intake home we can't case pressure still be regulated out through the PVC valve.
I would like to just vent the crankcase pressure 2 atmosphere Vita air filter just for the old-style PC valve systems for the V8.
What does work or would it cause increased crankcase pressure.
I would rather do that then install a catch can that I had to service every few weeks.
What's your thoughts on that method to keep oil out of the intake.
I already did this for my old Volkswagen Jetta that had the timing belt 2.0 in it that was non turbo charged.
Thanks for any advice.
I think for audi ea888 gen2.we are looking forward for ticking issues and differentiate ticking sound
I have de same problem. I changed the pcv valve already and engine is like you show in the video, I changed the pcv 2 times and I have de same problem
The last time my oil separator failed i found the diagram replacement at NAPA , i had to go to the dealer for a replacement separator.
great Video..I have a 2016 Q5 with 128k Miles and every 400 miles I need to add a quart of oil… my mechanic told me that this may be the problem… can anyone help me..?? WOULD changing the PCV SOLVE MY PROBLEM? What do you think? I look forward to your comments.
I think it's a really bad idea to use powertool that much. But, you know how. I would definitely be afraid to strip or crossthread
Man I've cracked the cap on 2 of those diaphragm parts, even though I've carefully used a tiny screwdriver to pry it open....I replaced the breather assm. on my 2013 VW CC and for a few months in ran well. Now it's consuming oil ( a quart a mo.) and when I pull the dipstick or oil fill cap off while running, it starts chugging AND there's a lot of vacuum pressure.
A couple days ago, I reinstalled the OEM VW PCV assm. with a new diaphragm, since the orig. was torn is multiple places, but it still has the vacuum pressure in the dipstick and oil fill cap.
Does that mean this breather assm. is faulty already???
yes.. you are cool!!! thanks for sharing this info :)
Do u need to take the whole thing out I thought u can just pop the top and replace
