How To Replace Audi 3.0t Supercharged PCV Value

PCV Valve symptoms are generally not "leaking coolant". In this video I will show you how a 3.0t Audi S4 failed PCV valve caused coolant to mix in the engine oil. I will also show you step by step PCV replacements for all 3.0 supercharged Audi engines. PCV failure is a common VW and Audi issue Thanks to ‪@WD-40Brand‬ for partnering with us on this video

Got part numbers for all the gaskets needed to replace?

[@JoeyS5]

@HumbleMechanic the hardest part of the job was 15:20mins in. That t30 sucked. I ended up taking those connectors loose and bending the bracket back while still using a low profile socket. And then that coolant pipe was stuck in the thermostat housing 🤦🏽‍♂️ just those 2 parts hung me up for over and hour. Lol

[@dcswings]

came here to see the part nr list

[@98f5]

Do u have a wiring and vacuum diagram for the things in the back im worried i hooked something up wrong. I am getting an odd loss of power intermittently when i floor it, the engine will completely stop almost to the point it jerks me forward like i slammed on brakes then it will go back to full power. Very uncomfortable, cant figure out what i did wrong, it started when i replaced my coolant crossover pipe. Today i took it all back apart, replaced my fuel injectors, my pcv, spark plugs, and cleaned everything, but now im questioning if i am making a mistake on the vacuum lines on the back of the throttle body. Any advice ❤

[@myathletesbody]

Great video !! What a pain in the ass job to do...

[@ChrisMadden-oe3xw]

I wanted to let you know I had purchased a PCV valve for a 2010 Audi A6 Supercharged. I thought this would be fairly easy change out until I watched this video. I am a financial advisor by trade but I am fairly mechanically inclined (I can easily do brakes and rotors but have never ventured any further than that with repairs) Thanks to your detailed video I swapped out the PCV and it’s running like a top!!! Saved me tons of money and increased my confidence 10 fold The car and I have a different relationship than we had before this job! Thank you so much. Incredible video from you!!!!! Regards, Chris

[@renerobes30]

This was a fully packed non-stop video! So many chances for all these old plastic parts to break apart just by looking at them. You persevered and came out whole at the end. Very skillful, I'm jealous. Great as always.

[@jasonmarcus9051]

This exact same thing happened to me on my 140k miles 2012 s4 , and at the same time a transmission line cracked inside the radiator and had to flush that out, and a week prior to those issues, I had to replace all upper and lower control arms, it was a hell of a time, other than that there’s little hiccups from stop to go, according to paper work I believe it does need new engine and transmission mounts, I’m pretty sure it’s the original ones and I’m sure it’s bout out around this time, so with new mounts I do plan on putting some inserts in and see if that definitely helps, just upgrading whatever breaks along the way lol

[@onecrazynewf9150]

I've had a buddy help me change my beetle engine and he hooked a vacume line up to a coolant line. Had a bunch of coolant mixed with my oil... did a flush multiple times, 10 years later I still find remnants of coolant on the oil cap. Engine is still going strong. Had 36k on it when it happened, has over 300k now.

[@S1l3nthunt]

If you only drive short runs, water condenses inside the valve cover and causes a little bit of milkshake on the oil cap. If you drive even like ten miles on the highway so that the car runs at full operating temperature under load, the condensate evaporates away through the PCV system. This might be an alternative explanation

[@HumbleMechanic]

@@S1l3nthunt Saw this a lot on the 2.0 non turbos. Short trip driving would build a bunch of moisture on the oil cap. a white goop

[@schmuhf]

@@HumbleMechanic I'm thinking about looking for a Mk IV with the 2.0 NA 8V engine, I believe they have 115 horses. I read that many of them had oil consumption issues, but are they really bad engines in general? My dad used to have one of those in a '96 Passat and that was a pleasure to drive.

[@AudiC7Owners]

Doing a PCV change on a 3.0t is a right of passage when you own one of these things. The only thing I would say is that it isn't necessary to remove the hoses from the valve covers considering how much of a nightmare they are & how easily they break. You can easily maneuver the pcv out of the engine with them still attached. I'm just waiting on some custom parts from MercRacing to complete our 3.0t PCV relocation project so I never have to worry about changing anything related to it under the supercharger ever again. Also, it's a good idea to replace that breather hose/check valve that comes off the top of the pcv & connects to the supercharger. If it fails it will trigger the same CEL as if your pcv was bad again.

[@vick10036]

Charles said he never shared his phone number. These acumen bags will ask you for money dont text back

[@HumbleMechanic]

YES KZbin is REALLY BAD about spam right now.

[@babagandu]

Do you have any advices and or tips/ blog posts for R36 ? The dealer in my area is TERRIBLE.

[@LynxStarAuto]

You should be replacing the breather hose along with the PCV valve. Those get brittle with time, and crack on their own. Then you have a CCV failure all over again, and the supercharger has to be removed again to replace the breather hose assembly. Just do both together so you're in there only once.

[@vigilance3109]

I'm coming from a BMW S54 which also had a few 'right of passage' (VANOS hub) jobs but this PCV looks a bit rough even compared to that engine. Other than the PCV what other big ticket items does the 3.0t require attention for?

Working on Volkswagens is pretty nerve racking to say the least but with your videos and thorough explanations you make it a lot easier for us techs starting out. I’m 21, youngest vw tech at our dealer and I got shoes to fill and I feel like you’ve helped me fill them/get on the path to fill them and I’m thankful for all the jobs and experiences I’ve had myself and watching your experiences through your videos. When i get home from work I always put on the vw/Audi playlist and watch that till I fall asleep 🤣💀 I live and breathe what I do because of you man. Thank you.

[@rizrz34]

Protip: you can put a long extension or screwdriver through the hooks on each bank of the super charger to make it significantly easier to lift. Also be super careful to not accidentally let the one of the studs that the supercharger sits on go into one of the ports and puncture one of the intercoolers like I have unfortunately done, lol

[@naklon]

Lol did just the same a few days ago, fortunately it was not punctured, only crushed, so after successful leak test I put some liquid aluminum to strengthen it up and called it a day 😁

[@mk_ultrarunner]

Oh gosh! What is it made of to get crushed/punctured?

[@danieloshaughnessy8476]

Just saw a first last week, Power Steering Fluid Mixing with Coolant. Both the power steering reservoir and the radiator had the same milky content. It was on a Hyundai, the cause was a power steering line connected to the radiator (for cooling purposes I can only assume) somehow both cracked and bled into each other. Stealership tried to scare (and flat out rob) this old lady into saying her car needed $5k in repairs, and that she should just trade it in for a new vehicle (trade in value less than $1500) she took it to a local mechanic and they only chared $600 to replace radiator and flush both systems. Charles thank you so much for your videos showing people how to be a home mechanic or at least understand what is going on with their cars!

[@nkawtg4]

AHHHH!!! This gave me flashbacks from last year when I had to replace the intercooler bricks in the supercharger on my S5. I went ahead and did PCV, water pump, belts, pulleys, and tensioners, as well as a nice carbon cleaning on the valves. I must add that if you're pulling the SC off, you might as well replace the intercooler bricks and change the SC oil. Nice work HM! It's boost season!

[@jsr3793]

I used to make those PVC valves. They are made from a material (I think) called zytel. It's a fiberglass reinforced nylon. It's a pretty kickass plastic, but that engine is about 100k past it heat cycle life.

[@HumbleMechanic]

If that one was the ORIGINAL one, id say we did pretty good. This is a pretty common issue on these 3.0t engines. I just wish there was a better way to test them.

@@HumbleMechanic A better way? I remember pulling my pcv valves on gm products by pulling them by hand from the valve cover and giving them a shake . If they rattled they were ok. If not, you could clean them with solvent and try again. A 3 dollar item in the 70s and 80s. German technology is increasingly retarded.

0:42 The coolant warms the PCV so that moisture in the gases does not freeze in the winter and damage the engine. On other engines, when moisture freezes in the PCV, it stops the pressure increase and oil starts to run from all the connections and seals. This will happen due to short trips in the winter.

Nice walk through. What I like to do, besides pics, is keeping a set of color markers, so I draw a line, and sometimes a symbol on the parts. Like the long bolt on the manifold, mark pink the bolt head and around the manifold hole. Not only prevent mistakes, but speeds up. I also write a number on parts(hoses, connectors, etc.) then follow the numbers in reverse when assembling. OCD much?!😅

[@mosinnagant76]

I was replacing the valve cover gaskets and broke the breather hose... So here we are! Pro Tip: cut off a piece of baling wire (the stiff wire that holds its form) and wrap it 90-99% around the plastic hose port on the Valve Cover. Don't overlap it, a small gap is what you want. Use a pic or flat-blade screwdriver and push it up and under the 4 retainer sections of the breather hose clip and it will pop right out. The idea is that you are releasing all 4 of the clip sections at the same time instead of fooling around trying to pry each one out at a time with a pic and having them snap back into place. Don't pull the hose too hard or you will be watching the "How To Remove SC and Replace PCV Valve" videos like I am... The hose ain't cheap either.

Better to just eat the cost and get all the failure points at once when the engine is already apart.

Great tips, yesterday I've replaced the pcv because my Autel found a fault code and I had 2 symptoms, the sizzling sound while accelerating and I couldn't remove the oil cap while the motor was running, extremely suction. Replaced it with OEM, and several gaskets and o-rings, no change at all. Do you have an idea of what it might be? And had a manifold code after the replace, so I guess somethings wrong there too, although I hold the flaps open while mounting the manifold.

Awesome job. You made a tedious task fun.

Probably a dumb question, but I had my car inspected. I see on the labor description, the mechanic recommends PCV Valve replacement with parts in conjunction. Yet I see on the part’s description Engine crankcase vent valve…is that the same thing? It looks like they got a bunch of parts that probably go with it, but not the main component.

Using silicone spray to rejuvenate old plastic before touching it: brilliant.

[@Yahsharal864]

Thanks for the video. I followed it to T, but I have another issue now after changing the PCV valve now I got fuel leak is coming from somewhere in that area where I disconnected the fuel lines on the fuel lines. The one that’s off to the side, do I need a washer

[@michaelluisslotkin1648]

What did you do my boy 😂😂 famous line after breaking something.

[@WC3fanatic997]

. . . This makes me really glad I have one of those tiny, 5-minutes-in-and-out PCV Valves I mean, my God.

[@kevinhelena1692]

This video is the best video for a pcv valve replacement! Thank you for the great content! This was a lot more helpful than other and very detailed! Did mine and now is running perfectly! Thank you sir!

[@stefansaric9449]

professional video. all praise for the master! master, is it possible to get the code marks of the parts and rubbers that were changed in this clip. I plan to do everything like that on my s4 b8

[@robertmontgomery7158]

Did you bleed the coolant on the supercharger bleed screws?

[@xanu85]

Thanks for the videos. Doing my PCV and losted the bolt @16:20 anyone know the part # or size. thank you!

[@Hitmanjat]

Excellent video ! This helped me replace a broken coolant pipe (the one that goes to the rear heater) I dropped the clip and can’t get a new one on. Any idea if it will be safe to leave it as is it seems very secure. Again it’s the coolant pipe that goes from the heater to the thermostat

[@keiohbunch5983]
