    I know that the PVC replacement has been touched on a lot here. Thats not my issue! My issue that has risen is after I replaced the valve cover gaskets and put on a new PVC breather hose because my 2003 V6 Passat (4 Motion) was leaking oil. I will be honest I did not do the job myself due to...

    PCV Possible Problem? I noticed today while changing my diverter valve that this hose collapses in on itself with the car running till it becomes flat. Did the previous owner use the wrong type of hose because it's very soft. Does it need a very rigid hose or is there something wrong with the...

    I have an oil leak in my 2004 V6 Passat (no surprise) with 66k miles. I have read on here to not replace the leaking gasket without fixing the likely problem - the PCV hoses. I don't want to spend $450 replacing the PCV hoses unless I know that is the problem. I already have the vented oil...
