2012, 1.4 tfsi

Im topping up the oil more than i used too...seemingly a common issue with these engines .

To start with, its worth replacing the PCV valve apparently. In the absence of Audi UK not having stock i opted for an unbranded aftermarket replacement.

On reaching home after my commute this evening, i noticed a flute like noise coming from the valve/hose?!

Ive attached a short video clip ... any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

Hi are you sure the new valve has a diaphragm in it the worrying thing is the amount of pressure coming out of the valve.

Im not sure steve, it was just a direct replacement.

Im thinking of putting the original valve back in until Audi can get me an OEM replacement.

Hi might well be with doing if the pressure slows down it may well be the valve, how many miles has the car done as around that year they are famous for burning oil where they used skinny oil control rings, problem is they let oil up but also down which pressurises the sump, fingers crossed its the aftermarket valve.

Steve.

Im on 125k miles. Ive put 20k on it in 2.5 years. More or less resigned myself to the fact its the rings but obviously im trying the cheap fix first.

Im due an oil change so ill see if theres any leaks from the sump... its been bone dry the last couple ive done.
