VW Golf MK6 GTI PCV Valve Diaphragm Upgraded Replacement MKVI 2010-2014 

Great video! You did an excellent job filming and its very easy to follow. I am glad our PCV valve is working out for you.

Hello. Your video was so helpful and saved me the expense of a mechanic. Using the "pick tools" helped immensely. It was a bit of a struggle to get the cap off. I found that the rubber seal was ripped. Definitely in need of replacement. Thanks!

Thanks for this video! Got my mk6 running smooth and not leaking oil. I did the job without those tools but man it was a terrible experience 😞. Definitely recommend to anyone attempting this to get the pick tools. Thanks👍🏾

This was so helpful with informative details and examples! Thank you so much

Thanks for the tip on indication test. Might want to replace motor mounts.

Amazing video brother. Greetings from Cyprus

Just subscribed! Very clear video and amazing quality. I plan to move from stage 2 mk5 (Manual) and get an mk6 (DSG) and go stage 3 with it. I am buying all the parts I want to change for the mk6 like, PCV Valve, timing chain, coil packs, spark plugs, etc. They said this is a common part to fail and seeing you install it gives me confidence I can easily do it on my own.

Hopefully this fix my problem !!!!! Thanks Dude !!!!!!

Very interesting video, didn’t realize this type of fix was an option!

Amazing video thank you 👍👍

Thank you. You are the best!!!

Excellent job thank you

My guy...Thank you! Great informative video... . I'd tried to remove it with a flathead but it was much easier with the hook, like you suggested. My top cap was brittle and broke when I was prying it off, but as long as you don't break the bottom part, you're good... I have a lot of tools but didn't have a good hook set, so I went to good ol Amazon and ordered one of those, the PCV diaphragm, and a new air filter while I was at it. Your smart little dipstick trick gave me a good idea that this tiny part might be the cause of the error code P0507 I was getting... With the top cap off, I cleaned the build-up out, and noticed a clear rip in the thin stock diaphragm. It makes me wonder if all or most of the engine issues we've had with this vehicle relating to breathing and the Check Engine or EPC light isn't all tied to this flimsy OE part...Putting the new, more durable, part on was simple, but you want it to snap when it goes over the tabs. I used a rag and rubber mallet to lightly tap on the cap above the tabs to get it to snap into place easily...I also utilized the original, longer spring, like a lot of people suggest is the best route... With that job done in 10 minutes or so, I swapped the air filter out real quick, replaced the engine cover, and gave the car a start... On first start, the car stuttered a bit, idled roughly for about 30 seconds, then stalled out. I immediately restarted the car and the CE light was still on, but it seemed to be running a little smoother. After about 20 seconds or so, the RPM's dropped from 1100 to around 850 and held steady...I hooked up the diagnostic tool and had a reading that showed the same errors, P0507 and P2187. I cleared the codes and the light went out and the car was idling well. Took it for a quick spin and took another reading, and had no codes or lights illuminated on the dash. So that felt good... Time may show me otherwise, but it kinda looks like your video helped another man learn something, and save some cash! Much appreciated...

Well done, sir! I have ordered the RKX upgrade and I'm looking forward to (hopefully) never having to deal with this P0171/P12A2/RMS replacement again! I just hope I've got to it in time, before the RMS has gone again. It's only been about 44K miles since the last one.

Great Video!

Im going to use your amazon link to ensure that you get some commission! Thank you for the help.

👍 good work

great job..is this same fix/part for Mk6 1.8T engines (gen3- 2015-2017)

tks!

I just put that same piece on nephews 2.0 and they shipped me the black plastic inner piece upside down and I installed it that way. Going back and taking it apart .. I was thinking the whole time it should have had an insert to center the spring but i put it on the same way it was shipped . never occured to me to flip it over ? LOL car had other issues so only was driven for 5 minutes since I installed it so no worries.

Man try some aerospace 707 protection on that rubber diaphragm

The best way to remove the pcv cover is push a flat head screw driver in between the cap & housing towards the tab & the plastic will pop over the tab. Just make sure you line it up with the tab & do not pry at the plastic because it will mess up the housing.

Thanks dude, just did mine using your DIY. Check your coolant level though. That shit looks low even for warm temps.

Hi ! is your Amazon link for this part no longer available 🙏🏼 ?

So really it's just cleaning it out then? I think I might have a bad one of these and I know my BCM is starting to play with me.

sow my gti has started to drink oil. if i am not mistaking it could be the pcv deaphragm right?

I'm burning a quart of oil every 600 miles now in my 2016 Jetta with 92K on it. Tried your dipstick test and instead of the engine stumbling, the idol increased and did not stammer or shake in any way. Now I'm wondering if it's an internal problem and not the PCV diaphragm or assembly. Damn cars!

Hey, my idle only changes slightly, when I take out the oil cap. not as bad as in this video. Could it mean the PCV is on its way out?

Hey when you say stumble does it sound like the car is cammed because I’m having an issue like that and is giving misfire codes only when idle. so Im guessing it is this but I don’t want to buy the whole pcv because the dealership is charging me 200 for the whole thing and the ecs that is 130 takes a whole week.

very detail demonstrate. how is it holding up. its $35 as long it works.

Was there any other issues besides the stumbling you mentioned... I just tested mine like you said mine don’t really stumble but it seems to run fine so I ordered it anyways plus I’m at 119k it’s never been changed what you think

I replaced the gasket and cover but my car still has the same problems it whistles when driving and low pressure what do I do

Question, if I plug the hole on my pcv valve and the engine starts to want to stall does that mean it's bad?

I'm thinking I may have this issue but is there any reason why you would want to replace the entire PCV valve kit over just replacing the diaphragm? I see they sell the entire valve as well.

I replaced mine, but it stil doesn't change. Any suggestions on what it might be?

Yo, have you heard of the gram 70mm throttle body for mk6 Gti? I might do an install and review video for the fam!

Do you have an update on this part? Is it worth it?

replaced the diaphragm, pcv still not working and engine is misfiring. possibly because of it, maybe? Pls help

tried the dip stick. mine is broken. thx

Weird one here but when I remove the dipstick, no response. When I remove the oil cap, no response from the engine but it has plenty of suction.

I did the dip stick test and appeared to be bad. I changed the diaphragm and what surprised me is that the old one wasn't broken. However with the new one the engine started stumbling when i remove the dip stick. So... I guess I fixed something that i didn't know was wrong hahaha.

Wen I remove my dip stick my. At shut off

So basically pcv valve is the one that brings up an engine light?

I was wondering why the new spring was shorter, I was expecting the old compressed spring to be shorter.

My diaphragm came off in about 9 pieces lol
