newby- seeking advice on pcv

[Bryony]

Hi 

I've never really joined any forums before- this is my first one and I'm after a bit of advice please. I have an edition30, brought it about 18months ago and I love it! I haven't had any real problems with it until now- but since we have had all this hot weather I've noticed the engine has been making a squealing noise and when I pop the hood I can hear air leaking out- I believe its the crankcase/ PCV but this is just from doing a bit of research on the net- I'm not that clued up on cars. There is a test I can do by removing the dipstick but Sod's law my car isn't making the noise anymore!

Im going to buy the part anyway but wasn't sure if its the same part for the ed30? From looking at a few forums it looks like I need part 06F129101R is this correct? I have a friend who is going to help me replace it.

thanks

Yeup thats correct and the gasket seal number is if you need it 06F103483E

Don't forget to change your inlet and outlet corrugated plastic piping on the PCV while you're at it.

They get stuffed with carbon over time!

Call up VW dealer for part number or scan the forum...

Hi again

I haven’t ordered the parts yet- do you have any recommendations on who to use? Also is it best to get genuine VW parts or are manufacturers such as Febi bilstein, vaico or topran any good as I've found some good deals online?

Thanks x

Get the parts from a VW main dealer or TPS and look in How to guides for a guide on changing it.

Went to add you there but I see no GTI and instead an aerial acrobat?
