It’s a tray
I just had a question, i bought a new pcv in hope that it would fix my problem: i have oil being forced through my turbo in small amounts. Am i correct for thinking this???
ppl never ever open engine without cleaning it first, dirty job with open engine is what kills it. even sparkplug holes should be filled with clean paper towel . next time taking out the plugs all the shit will fall into the engine.
Great video, thanks to this I changed my pcv. I will add some tips that might be obvious to some people but weren’t for me at the moment.
1. Disconnect the battery before doing anything else (under the spare wheel, make sure you have your driver door opened before disconnecting)
2. Use a 1/4” T30 instead of a 1/2” if possible, some pcv bolts are in tight spaces like under the coilpack wiring.
3. Only the two coils closest to the firewall have to be removed in order to access the pcv (you can remove all 4, but it just seems like excess effort).
4. I found that disconnecting any other cables didn’t give the coilpack wiring any more slack than just the single bolt that holds it.
5. This is more my own experience than a tip, but after I replaced the pcv, refastened everything and connected the battery, i started the engine and it vibrated more than with the old pcv, at first I feared I had done something wrong, but decided to drive a few miles to test it, and after a couple of minutes driving, the engine settled and now it runs really smooth. Maybe it had to go through some purge process or something, i am not sure. When idling it’s as if the engine isn’t there, that’s how smooth it runs. Also I think my AC runs colder now haha
Anyway I thought my experience could help people trying this out for the first time. And sorry for bad English.
Well damn. I thought this was going to be more difficult. I have only changed on Volvo's Whiteblocks, where are generally quite easy to work on, but the PCV valve is under the intake manifold so you need to remove all that. I presumed it would be the same, but was gladly surprised.
1.8 tsi I open the oil cap and the engine turns off. The same if I remove the PCV hose. I changed the PCV valve a year ago. I also have oil in the intercooler hose, about 300 ml, if that matters.
What are the P000F-DC, D9, or D3 meanings ??
Awesome video!
Is there a way to clear the codes without using a scanner tool? I unplugged the negative terminal over night and no luck even the radio stations are still remembered? Thanks anyone on clearing the code without a scanner!
I removed PCV to fix the .. rocker cover from a garbage job someone did , not using correct gasket sealant .. the front timing cover gasket was sealed with gasket goo .. which caused a leak so I removed that and it fixed it … then .. I repaired vaccum pump gasket leaking at back .. then the water outlet pipe broke .. I removed it .. turns out someone broke it previously and just gasket in the thing .. put wrong bolts in .. I found one of the PCV bolts holding it in .. someone put wrong bolts in PCV valve stripped out bolt holes .. I then helicoiled a new thread for one of those bolts … whoever owned this car before me was a terrible mechanic .. it’s a Audi Quattro
The torque spec for the bolts are 9nm
When I take my oil cap off my engine shakes a lot what could this mean?
Thanks You!
