    I've revived my b5 1.8t passat since I got it as my first car. Before I knew anything about cars in general, I simply had thought that my car was just a "point A to B" snail of a car w/ 15+ sec 0-60. Till I felt my brother's 1.8t and I didn't realise how much low-end torque these things had...

    Set of 2 034 silicone hoses - main block breather hose and and valve cover breather. I bought these back in May 2023 but didn't get around touching them until this last week. I have the engine out of the car and at this point have decided to go another route - custom catch can setup instead of...

    Hi guys, Working on my B5 again trying to get it back on the road. Recently, I removed the intake manifold to paint it and replace the leaky injector cups (working on a write-up with good pictures), and decided to check how the PCV system was holding up since I replaced most plastic valves...

    Bit of backstory: 2001 B5 ATQ with 160k, had sat for about a year waiting until we could afford to get the shredded CV joints replaced. Got that done, car ran great. Oil wasn't too horribly bad so waited a bit to change it (yes very stupid mistake). About 3 months ago (after driving about a...

    Hi All, Got a rough idle only on cold starts for about a minute or so and then back to 100% normal. No codes, no CEL. Did some searching, think it could be related to vacuum lines. So planning on replacing all four of them with silicone line. 10 feet should be enough right? Do I need to get...

    Hey all, After working on my 2002 1.8t Passat AWM, I am about to throw in the towel and send it off to the shop. I have been working on it off and on for a couple months. Here is the original thread on the PCV system and VCG fix...

    I tried searching but can't find anything substantial. Anyone know where I can get the pcv crankcase pipe/tube set? Thanks!

    I have watched many videos on YouTube and read many posts on this forum and vortex. No matter what, I am simply not able to locate the PCV valve. This is so darn frustrating to me.:banghead: Could someone very specifically mention where exactly the PCV valve sits in a AWM engine (1.8T 2002...

    Howdy, long time lurker, first time poster... 2002 Passat 1.8T, bought at 96K, now has 136K, and still runs strong. Sooooooo, I had some idling issues last week, chugging, and missing, dieing at stoplights. Replaced the PCV Valve from O'reilly. The old one was pretty dirty, but not sure if...

    I have been having some issues that all seemed to match up with a bad PCV valve. My car has been idling VERY rough even to the extent of dying twice at stoplights last week. Friday I took it into a local mechanic and they "thought" the problem was due to a bad PCV valve and replaced it. I picked...

    Hi folks I have a 2000 1.8t 3b 20v with an APU unit. I need to find some parts for the PCV system and can't locate a list of the part numbers relevant to this motor. I was thinking just that basic kit of breather elbow, tee, pcv valve and relevant seals, clips and jubilee clips. Any help...

    Any hints on removing the PCV check valve under the intake manifold on a 1.8T (AUG)? I got the coolant recovery tank out of the way and unplugged the siphon pump from its two longitudinal connections, leaving it attached only to the PCV valve. Removing the screw-type clamp around the body of the...

    I have an 01 with a AWM motor in it. VCG went again so figured I would address the PCV system before putting the new one in. I have the kit, just wondering if I need to remove the intake manifold to get to the hose by the block? Is there a simple way to get to that without removing manifold and...

    Hello all, On my V6 B5 Passat, I've had to replace my PCV hoses and jet pump due to the deliciously disgusting burning oil smell syndrome. After replacing them, I realized they had plenty of airflow, but I still had that smell. I didn't buy a new PCV check valve (the green one), but I was able...
