Steve,

is this something that shows up as an error code on VAGCOM / VCDS (and which code)?

I havent got Vagcom to see if its logged, but i expect i will have fault codes showing as i briefly ran the engine without the airbox to find where the leak was coming from. Ill ask my friendly Hedgeman to bring his lappy next time i see him :smiley:.

Just to bring things up to speed. I replaced the Pcv housing assembly today.

Sure enough this is what greated me when i forced open the housing to have alot at whether my old valve was perhaps blocked with carbon disposits etc .Car has done 43k miles, only on 99 octane fuels and would be a good indicator imo whether a catch could be justified in my case. After seeing this, i dont think theres much need.

The rubber seal has lost shape and the crankcase pressure was being blown between casing and rubber valve, was expecting to find a tear or split, but nothing at all, and not overly oily tbh.

Car is now smooth as, even on idle slidding into gears. My thoughts are this valve 1st went wrong at Jkm when the exhaust downpipe was fitted, because it wasnt smooth on idle when i was 1st handed the keys back after the work. So only now am i happy with all works done to the car, and hopefully find some extra boost i may have been missing.

If you don't want the catch can then you can take one step back from it and use the pcv revamp kit http://www.bshspeedshop.com/store/home.php?cat=1119
What happens to all the gunk with this fix?

Did you go for an OEM replacement, if so was it uprated/different to the original?

I replaced it with another oem one Rob.It looks the same from the outside Rob, part number was superseeded though, and whether the changes are made inside around ball valve and Diaphram, i dont know.

Steve, you say this fixed your lumpy idle, did it also solve the high pitched squeal on switch off?

Can you possibly post the part number just in case any of us get similar symptoms at some point. I take it you are a fairly confident mechanic to change this out yourself. Think I'd be off to the Indy.
