Mk5 Golf GTI rocker cover gasket & PCV valve replacement

[@laurentl2275]

hey Joe, just came accross your video. Nice video, with that milage, I would have replaced the valve cover itself and not just the gasket. They are famous to fail internally. VW made different revisions but they all fail because of the plastic.

@laurentl2275 that is a very good shout. I wish I had thought of that when I changed the gasket. Thank you for the info👍🏿

I've recently done both mine with similar mileage to yours approaching 150000, my pvc valve had its day, the symptom my car had was rough idling 😊

[@aguycalledjoe7802]

Yes the pvc valve is one of the first things I think should be replaced when getting one of these cars🙂. What were the symptoms of a your faulty pvc valve?

Hi Joe. Ive got a Mk7 golf (125k) which is going through oil quite quickly. No leaks found and no smoke. Would you look at changing the pcv valve valve? Thanks Brett.
