Nice video. And replaced the entire valve cover with new Pcv assembly. Cleaned map sensor and still have the code. Come to find out there’s a service bulletin from VW which states in higher mileage 2.5 engines (75k+) miles a software update is required. So all that work and I now have to spend few hundred for a software update. I’m gonna just live with the light.
I replaced the pcv valve and updated the software (technical bulletin) but i still get the code every 2 weeks :( , i have to keep deleting the code every 2 weeks. I don't know what else to do.
According to O'Reilly's, replacing the MAP sensor is 68 times more likely to fix the P0106 error than the PCV valve. The next most likely fix, according to the error code diagnostic they printed for me, was the throttle body (MAP sensor about 4 times more likely to be the problem than the throttle body, still). Don't know how reliable these reports are but thought I'd share. Great video! Thank you!
from what I've read, a failing PCV lets oil get into the inlet, so it does make sense to replace. If there is oil, one might try cleaning the MAP sensor. But if need new, luckily it's pretty cheap. Apparently the leaky PCV valve is one of the few faults w/ the good 'ole 2.5. Crank sensors are another.....and also fairly cheap to fix. Not as powerful as 2.0T, but sure a lot less problematic.
Thank you for this guide on 1 way of fixing this code. This worked for my 13 vw passat. I was having transmission issues and dealership couldn't help me so they recommended a used transmission which I sadly bought into and 1k miles later same issue. This whole issue was a stupid cap for 30$ lol may I'm so pissed that I'm out $2600.
@@ditikoci1432 I was having issues while mainly in stop and go traffic were the transmission would hold gears then shift really hard. Also when using cruise control I was getting the same issue where the transmission would start holding shifts then shift really hard. I was told I needed to wait until it threw a code which it finally did and it was throttle body and range sensor. I replaces the valve cap for the throttle body shown in this video and it's helped a ton, it did stop throwing that code which I'm happy. I sometimes get it now but I haven't had an issue for about 2 months. I need to replace throttle body and range sensor when I get the time to or when the issue comes back. Mind you too I now have a 80k milage used transmission. My passat has 180k and it's been dealer kept since I bought it so it's in great shape
Appreciate the tip. We replaced the valve cover last year, same car, same code is back. I thought the PCV was built into the cover, so maybe it needs to be replaced once a year? I wouldn't be surprised. I have Honda's that come in all of the time needing PCV valves, at least Honda's are easy to change compared to this VW. BTW, what's with the music?
I have the same problem but it comes after I drove few miles (24 Miles and up) but doesn't show any error light in the dashboard and also it start hard shifts in the gears. when ever I feel hard shifts in gear, I knew that this would be the problem. I have cheap OBD2 which clear all my car fault codes. BTW I have VW Passat B7 2015 (2.5L) US Model I haven't visited the VW yet but if there is anyone who can help me with exact part replacement ? Thanks in advance
MAP sensor replacement is the last step. 1. Just check the hose connected to the PCV valve. 2. If not resolved then Check PCV valve and if required, replace it. 3. Done 4. If still not resolved then just unplug the MAP sensor and check the connectivity. If shows short circuit then replace it.
Map sensors measure vacuum pressure. On some korean GM cars (suzuki reno&forenza) a bad map sensor can make the car turn off or go into limp home mode. In most cars if the maps actually bad and you keep driving it then you have other trouble codes showing up
Can you please help. I did this same thing AND replaced sensor. Is there anyway new Bosch sensor is defective? I’ve seen some of them have different part numbers.
@@joshuabaser785 thanks for replying Joshua. I thought that was the part that was wrong with my car, but I took my car to VW for a check engine scan and my trouble was the Throttle body.
I cleaned the sensor and replaced the PCV valve diaphragm, cleared the code and now it is back a week later, should I replace the sensor too?, the car drives normally. I just cleaned the air intake valve body and cleaned my K&N air filter and cleared the code again, to see if it is a restriction compensation thing, I don't think the sensor is bad because shouldn't the car idle be rough or something to that effect?
@@baxoverdrivegarage So I still haven't replaced the sensor, but like I said before I cleaned the Air intake and filter and are testing again, It's been a week so far so good, I'll keep an eye out, I will replace the sensor if I have to it is the most expensive part around 50 mucks or so, i'll post an update. hear soon.
Okay so my OBDII reader says 0 Codes 9 ready so I think it's good? , and the car does not jerk anymore like the feeling of shifting to early, interesting results, and my driving mode lights all stopped coming on at the same time at random, I know it has only been a week an a half but those lights were coming on pretty frequently and the car drove awful before now. much smoother. so this might mean the sensor is good still.
P0106 Intermittent fault with map sensor. So could be an open or short in the circuit, the new sensor you put in could be bad. Hard to diag the car without the car but just some ideas
the replacement dorman part... I have read .have had not so good results long term????? anyone had good long term results or just bought the whole oem valve cover with pvc attached .??????
Whats the link between p0106 and the pcv diaphram? Can map sensor reading can be affected by a bad pcv? I just bought a 10 Jetta put 1k on it with no CEL but have 2 dtc's P0106(Pending) P0139(stored) I belive the codes are unrelated. I think 139 was caused by a bad heated o2 sensor. I know pcv systems on these can be garbage. I did the oldschool volvo style pcv checks and the car seems to be ok. Only issue is about 4.8quarts of oil came out after about 7k -previous owner ran 6q 5w-30. I'm hoping my pcv system isnt causing oil consumption. Anyone have their opinion? Thanks in advance :)
Am not really sure. Am not that deeply experienced in pcv's. It fixed my issue for couple of months and i sold the car, no longer have it. I've seen some had to replace tb and valve cover for this issue alone, its annoying.
your247support and you have a problem with that? It aint ur camera why should it bother u? No one forced u to watch the damn video. I changed the map sensor and diaphragm which fixed mines.. take yo negative ass somewhere else

Nice video..i have the same code in my jetta and same 2.5....
If the code doesn't go away, should I buy a new MAP Sensor?
nice bro. what kind of pliers did you use for the hose clamp? is it possible to spray down the dirty original pcv with brake cleaner and reinstall?
kumbackquatsta think I used needle nose pliers. The pcv diaphragm is cheap, better to just buy New one and install
It's not dirt on the PCV that causes them to fail. They get old and the diaphragm tears. Replacement is necessary.
can a dirty/faulty map sensor cause transmission issues (roughness/wrench dash warning)?
transmission issues?? no, i never heard of that
Mine has this exact issue and had this code, did you figure it out?

Should i just clean it with cleaner or how do i know i need to replace it ? Thanks
Thanks! It was very useful

Dont you need to clean the map sensor to wipe the code?
Shannon L tried that at first but that didn’t work
@@baxoverdrivegarage so you had to Replace the MAP and the diaphragm for it to work?

Nicely done. Do you need a scanner to clear the codes, or can you disconnect the battery for a few minutes?
Yeah you’ll need a scanner, or you can just drive for some miles and it will go off by itself
@@baxoverdrivegarage Great. Thank you.

The PCV diaphragm gets brittle and cracks. Then oil vapor gets into the intake and builds up on the map sensor causing it to fault out of range.
