crankcase ventilation - takes oil vapour and puts it back into the throttle body so it can be burnt off

Well, they come fitted with one from factory

Personally, I wouldn't remove it and blank it off like some people do. It can increase crankcase pressure, and can reduce performance/mpg

On some it can cause problems - not everyone has had it perfect mate!

A new genuine PCV has revised parts and this is generally the best way to cure any PCV related issue.

I can only relay the comments of the chap I spoke to. Just a curious coincidence I thought I'd mention.

As for MPG. My DSG BWA Stg 1, pretty reliably manages 24.5mpg on a cross-country run with 1200kg of trailer on the back, boot full of petrol and other associated track-day cack. If I saw that sort of figure at any other time, I'd wonder what was broken. Maybe I drive too slowly?
