Fault code P2187

[russs99]

Hi

My GTI started playing up last night. I noticed when in neutral the revs weren't dropping down to the usual idle level straight away. Also if I blip the throttle the revs stay at about 1300rpm then slowly drop away over about 5 seconds, then climb again etc etc. It sounds slightly rough too but not terrible. No noticeable performance problems and hasn't triggered any warning lights on the dash (yet).

I did a scan and got the below. Any ideas?

I've just noticed there's a hissing noise which is audible after engine is switched off. Goes on for about 10 seconds. Had engine cover off (which was a battle) and cannot see any split pipes...

PCV valve?? 

[russs99]

I think you are right, I've come to same conclusion after a bit of googling. Hissing was definitely coming from immediately under engine cover. Will try and get one tomorrow but I doubt it'll be a stock part so may not be able to sort straight away.

Order it early enough and you should get it for Saturday morning

I reckon its a stock item though.........

Run the test on the PCV. Run you engine and remove the oil cap for a second. If the end one tries to stall its all good. If it carries on running fine, not so good.

Managed to get hold of a PCV valve today and successfully changed it, took about 15 minutes. Cleared fault codes and went for a spin - fault cleared and massive difference, the car must have been running really badly before. The valve unit is the 'N' variant (06F 129 101N) and cost £38 incl VAT, the one I took off was F variant. Anyway I am happy to have been able to sort it quite cheaply. Thanks for guidance!

[boneybradley]

That's a good price too. Was it genuine?
