Its not your pcv valve diaphragm is it? When mine exploded it took me ages to figure out what was up with it, till i noticed the shattered remains of it under the car. Ran rough as hell and wouldnt idle properly, basically because unmetered air was getting sucked into it!

[vdubin]

Looks fine to me . no cracks or leaks ( I do hope this is the part your talking about ? )


But I did get this



Its very Dirty is that expected ?

And what exactly is in here, Can I clean it ? Doesnt look to hard to take out.


thanks for pointing out possible issues DARK,
This is stopping me from baggin my car ! so the sooner I fix it the sooner its on Air !

[dark]

actually the thing I meant is this



Its actually the air baffle for the idle control valve, it's located on the rear of the engine to the right slightly (between the firewall and the engine) can easily be seen from above. It may possibly just be cracked as well. It has sponge stuff inside which captures oil in the air flow. When mine blew it was just a nub of plastic where the hoses connected and a piece of sponge left!

vortex thread here

VWVortex.com - PCV Valve Diaphragm Exploded..

My car was inoperable when mine went, idling all crazy and stalling, sounded like it was running on 2 cylinders! Thought my engine was done!

May not be the same as your deal, but its a common issue.

[vdubin]

Ive googled many pages for PCV valve breather diaphragm And its showing my picture more then the one you posted ?

plus I cant find it anywhere ? Tried googling PCV Valve Diaphragm location, no help at all.

No doubt its right in front of my face....will keep looking.

Its cool Dark dont worry.

I had a chat with my VW machanic today he thinks its something to do with the throttle body ECU.
Because any thing over 2000rpm it goes Sluggish & has no power.

Will restart the ECU go for a Drive see if its fixed if not Im taking it over to him so he can run hes Vag-com over it.

I need a coolant sensor the blue one at front of engine,are these available in aus need one asap.Im jumping the gun but Im 90% sure this is the issue if it is my machanic can fix the prob on tuesday and ill have a much better chance of making dovw

Could sell you one if you're keen. It's practically new. Maybe a week or 2 of use. Was going to try and fire up the old girl again before pulling it out, but it could wait til I get a new one

That be Awesome.
Like I said theres a high chance of it being the sensor & if it is having the part there good to go will be perfect.

Because after I take it for a drive then try start it again it basically floods itself with fuel the machanic was saying or once it gets warm it runs real bad so hes highly thinking its the sensor now.

Pm me what u want for it & your bank details.

[vdubin]

better pics soon.
