2015 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA 1.8T OIL SEPARATOR REPLACEMENT (CRANKCASE VENT VALVE) P119A AND P0171 FAULTS

[@laul2091]

Does the oil separator can cause excessive oil consumption? I took the intake hose on the turbo and there is oil in the inrake side my problemtnis excessive oil consumption like a quart or more a week… drive it 30miles to work daily… no codes no oil leak no smoke I appreciate any info

[@EuropeanAutoRepair]

It can cause excessive consumption but likely not the cause, could be a piston ring issue or even the turbocharger. Oil separator is cheapest easiest thing to replace that may help with issue

[@laul2091]

Ok thanks Also the EPC light comes on from time to time I search the internet and saw your video I will scan it for codes the check engine light never came on

[@danlicon2833]

@@laul2091 Did you ever figure out what was causing the EPC light to come on. I have had this happen several times to my 2015 Sportwagen TSI (109k miles) along with a misfire. VW is telling me it needs a new motor. Oil getting by the piston rings. Last time I buy a VW.

[@njzoucha]

If that tears, could it cause some oil consumption? And are there any good ways to diagnose that part? Thank you!

[@EuropeanAutoRepair]

Yes it can cause excessive consumption, check for high vacuum and oil filler cap with engine running

[@brodyjohnson401]

Could the PCV cause oil burning? I’m having trouble diagnosing the oil burning from my 2016 passat

[@moonchild3706]

yes, they tend to fail and cause increased oil consumption

Have a 2014 Jetta 1.8T and I just got a P2188 (to rich at idle) code. I just had a P0011 for the VVT magnet. The P0011 is now gone but could this lead to the new 2188? I’m just trying to figure it out. Thanks

[@Brutemandave]

[@drosie1214]

Thanks for sharing this video. Could you tell me if the aftermarket oil seperators work or would you recommend OEM only here? I have a relative with this car and its using oil, no CELs on and it runs great. After reading many forums I keep thinking this is the problem most likely.

[@EuropeanAutoRepair]

I personally try to go with the factory separator when I can being that I’ve had some issues in the past with aftermarket ones and the factory part number updated several times but you will likely be ok with aftermarket

[@drosie1214]

@@EuropeanAutoRepair thanks for the reply. From your experience do you have a particular oil you like to use in these engines after replacing the seperator?

[@hockeynut178]

What is the name of that hose you "Pried up and off" in the back? I think I need to replace that as well

[@EuropeanAutoRepair]

Pcv breather hose should bring it up

[@TuanaChong]

Would this contribute to my sparks plugs fouling out?

[@Solamia7]

I have this question also

[@EuropeanAutoRepair]

Not likely contributing to a fouling problem, more commonly carbon deposits on intake valves cause that on these models

[@VanessaBueno-uh2nf]

Would the pvc failure cause the EPC light to come on?

[@EuropeanAutoRepair]

It could, have you scanned it yet?

[@AJM_1981]

Pcv all part of this oil separator?

[@SunnyFLBoy]

I have a 2014 Seat Leon 1.8T with more than 200'000km on it. It's the same engine as in the video. I replaced the oil separator and there's still a suction when I remove the oil cap. Is this normal? Some say it's normal and some say it's not.

[@EuropeanAutoRepair]

It should have suction at the oil cap while idling, just not a excessive amount, if you aren’t having any faults or drivability concerns it’s likely ok

[@victorvincz2194]

Awesome video. Informative and straight to the point! Going to give this a whirl on a 2016 Passat today.

Thanks! I hope it goes well

​@@EuropeanAutoRepairchasing down a hefty oil consumption issue and misfires on my buddies 2014 Jetta 1.8. I suspect a ring issue but wanted to leave no stone unturned. #1 cylinder wet with oil. The others looked decent. Great compression on all 4 cylinders. ~175 psi. Looks like the misfire codes are due to fouled spark plugs. Any thoughts before I start changing spark plugs weekly? 😂

[@jacobhadcock6556]

Could this cause oil leaking I have a 2014 Jetta?

[@EuropeanAutoRepair]

Sometimes they leak from the seal, if it’s wet with oil around the perimeter of the unit that might be what you have going on

[@MTurnerfromKY]

My 2014 Jetta 1.8 burns oil and according to a mechanic, there is oil getting in my combustion chamber, can this part being bad cause that?

[@EuropeanAutoRepair]

It can cause excessive oil consumption, could also be turbo or ring issue, this is likely the cheapest part that could cause issue might not be a bad place to start

[@Solamia7]

@@EuropeanAutoRepairCan you just replace the diaphragm? Or are there other parts in this unit that go bad?

[@EuropeanAutoRepair]

@@Solamia7 definitely other parts in the separator that can fail but the diaphragm is typically what happens, you can always replace the diaphragm and cover and see how it does, worst case you will end up replacing the assembly anyway

[@melodymilicent9308]

Great Video,🤜💯

[@jeremy7932]

This is probably user error, but I can’t get the electrical connecters that go to the coils to unlock

[@EuropeanAutoRepair]

Sometimes sneaking a small 90 degrees pick under the latch on the plug and releasing it that way works well

[@blake20054]

What lead you to this was it a code or burning oil what made you pick that?

[@EuropeanAutoRepair]

I can’t remember the cause on that particular car, likely mixture faults and rough idle

[@blake20054]

@@EuropeanAutoRepair gotcha, mine is getting a rough idle from time to time and acts like it wants to push past the brakes. Restarting fixes the issue, never throws codes. I have it hooks to my Autel mk808 and watch it on the active monitoring and can’t see anything. It has to be something minor was thinking maybe pcv or vvt. Kinda throwing things at it, may also change plugs, coils but if it was any of those you would think it would be more consistent.

I had to use a angle grinder to flatten down a 10mm open ended wrench to be able to slide it between the connector and the base to get to the bottom nut. From there just hold the bottom and unscrew the top nut.
