Title: Is the PCV system the cause of my pressure drop code ??
Post by: dai-cymru on 27 December 2009, 19:23
stripped down the pcv side of things today, no split pipes just gunge in them although the main pipe coming from the oil cool is slightly broken where the clip goes, could this be the fault or not  :undecided: :undecided:

what he said  :wink: the clip is pushing down but wondering if it's 100%.  :undecided: cant see it causing the fault, was expecting to have found some split pipes  :angry:

righto found the y piece in the picture broken and although no split pipes they all feel very spongy where contaminated with oil, so bought all new for £42.77 from VW, so here is my jigsaw puzzle for tomorrow  :smiley:
