You show how but you never say why

[@RingZero]

Fantastic job Brian. Very well explained, it’s a great DIY project

[@HowtoAutomotive]

It would be a good DIY project. Thank you for watching!

[@lovepointmanor1969]

That was a great video showing and explaining everything, thank you.

[@chriscadman5715]

Excellent how-to. What is the reason you changed the valve cover and not the gasket & pcv valve with a pcv kit? What is the quality difference between a Genuine VW valve cover and an aftermarket one? Thanks...

[@jorgeahernandez9529]

Great video I was wondering if this can cause my gas tank to get sucked in I already replaced my purge valve and my leak detection pump on my vw rabbit 2007 I already replaced gas tank and fuel pump but still gas tank not breathing thanks

[@heyitschinoable]

Good job! That 5 cylinder design looks trippy. I kinda blinked a couple times thinking i was seeing an extra cylinder. I was here thinking it was a 2.5 I4 cylinder. Lol

[@faridfaab6709]

Hi Mr Brian please if you got chance give us tutorial on the 2012 Passat 2.5 transmission service, and the how to clean the MAF. is Maf really cleanable and improves the mileage.

[@jasonc.4683]

Awesome job Bryan. I had to do that last week because oil was seeping in contaminating the map sensor. I replaced the hose as well and cleaned the inside of the intake. By the way Bryan what setting did u have it in when u ran those T30 bolts back on the valve cover.

[@HowtoAutomotive]

Jason Chavez I leave it on the full power settings. And use the variable trigger to slowly run the fasteners in.

[@rondean2727]

Fantastic video

[@keanufarias1030]

Does this apply to the 06 jetta gli 2.0t ?? This video was perfect and didn’t leave me with any questions!!

[@lp4431]

Should we use gasket glue? Where can I find diagram to bolt down 16 screws? Great video. Is there one for rear main seal on 2011 jetta 2.5?

[@bethany6070]

Hi, I am having some trouble. I needed to install the front piece of my air intake duct. Is there a specific way you install it? The engine hose that connects to the front duct will not hold and keeps popping off. Does the order in which you connect the parts matter (I.e putting the hose on first then screwing the front duct into the front of the car? ) Hopefully that makes sense. Also, what type of screws are needed to hold the engine hose on the duct?

[@badmiddens]

brilliantly done, thank you

[@daetra301]

I've seen in another video where the air intake top cover is taken off. Mine is still on, is there a reason to remove the top cover?

[@MrYalvarez1988]

Great job

[@captainh3831]

Very well done video.

[@garybensmith420]

did you use black gasket maker? I didn't see that step, or is it not needed?

[@TheBongoZeptobrewery]

i can't find a video for replacing the valve cover on a 2011 jetta 2.0l non turbo. is this the same procedure basically?

[@stringsnare]

Freaking vw I didnt realize about that secondary pipe to be moved dammit thanks for the help!

[@joebush5463]

once again a great info

[@HowtoAutomotive]

joe bush thank you!

[@coosmac]

Thank you very much for the Great Video. (might this fix burning oil on my 2009 Jetta?)

[@HowtoAutomotive]

dd dd The PCV is one of the effects for burning oil. There is the possibility of Val stem seals and rings. But worth a try.

[@torianoevans]

Thanks!! Great Video!! 🙂

[@HowtoAutomotive]

Thank you!

[@sgtclark5]

Thank you sir

[@JenMarco]

So if you’re just replacing the PCV valve, I don’t have to do all that?

[@SantiagoGonzalez-t7g]

Is it the same on a 2.0?

[@arieltorres3440]

Thanks 🤙🏽

[@LasVegasVet]

Any reference material for.a head gasket replacement on 2013 vw jetta 2.5 se?

[@Yngnico]

Did you get it replaced?

[@Yngnico]

Do you need to get anything reprogrammed?

[@heightsfitness]

just squeeze the little tabs and get it off? i can’t see the tabs and i just cracked it trying to get it off. i wish you spent an extra 10 seconds explaining how to get the secondary air injection valve apart.

[@HowtoAutomotive]

Brian Molyvade even if you do it perfect there’s still a chance that connector will crack. Sorry your it’s giving you a hard time.

[@mondo9.2.5]

how can i fix vaccum pump 07 jetta automatic 2.5

[@HONEEBROWNIESKITCHEN]

COULD THIS BE THE CAUSE OF WHITE SMOKE COMING FROM EXHAUST

[@tgmeyer1]

White smoke is usually caused by water. It's actually a water vapor. Check for coolant leaks.

[@lulugotsoul4247]

Do this get rid of the ticking noise?

[@vL07k]

na dumbass

[@juvenalflores2520]

If the diaphragm was the problem, you can buy the diaphragm by itself. Diaphragm $16 vs $200+ for the cover...

[@jonlo619]

Does anyone have a video on a 2006 Passat 3.6, I need to replace the valve

[@martinlevi8612]

so that cause to whizzle

[@HowtoAutomotive]

That is one of the symptoms

[@jimbax1]

Or just change the diaphram! only takes 10 min and costs £8

[@bethany6070]

This is the more affordable fix and I recommend doing that first, but it might not fix your probably and it could come back. My code still popped up and I’m almost betting it’s the cover that needs to be fixed.I’ve read enough forums to know that it’s 50/50. The pvc diaphragm replacement works for some and for others the Pcv cover works.

[@noventay4]

The whole thing is 16 dollars and the diaphragm doesn't always work

[@surefire07]

Original Code P0106. I changed the the DORMAN 917-064 kit and failed to close the pcv valve and got P0106, P2187, P030X and misfire. Found the valve cape was not seating tight enough on top three tabs (Slack movement when I press cap top cover). Thought bad parts and bought the same kit from other place and installed, but the slack was still there and lasted for two days and failed same way. Check all tabs on top, but tabs were not broken. I installed a small pressure clip (temporary) near top tab to press and hold the dorman pcv cover in. And that worked. I was able to open oil fill cap in idle "quick open close" (test to see PCV is working at idle). Now I have to move on to replace the valve cover because kit failed and original PCV cover parts were trashed on day one (Keep your old part). In short, the Dorman 917-064 kit is not an universal fit (May be Dorman should include a pressure clip). Now where can I get the good, reliable and economical valve cover and who is the dependable supplier? Please guide if you have an experienced similar issue before.
