Hi all
Just looking for some advice re the above
2010 Mk6R DSG 29,000km standard tune, owned from new.
I noticed today on the way to work a whistling noise followed by an uneven idle, idle jumps to around 1200rpm for a few seconds and back down to normal, the cycle repeats about every 5 seconds. The whistling noise sounds a bit like a dry alternator bearing but I suspect it's the PCV sucking, lifting the dipstick slightly results in a normal (ish) idle And the air rushes into the dipstick hole as I would expect from a failed PCV.
Please confirm (or otherwise) my suspicions are correct.
Also please advise the best way forward as the car is now out of warranty, should I replace with standard or go with an after marked product, I may consider a mild tune at a later date.
All advice much appreciated
