Pcv question

I decided to check a few things under the hood tonight, I noticed that when pulling the oil cap off, there's no resistance and air is actually blowing out, the engine also runs rough. I thought it was supposed to be difficult to pull the oil cap when at idle?

Define difficult, because normally there is some resistance when pulling the cap off normally.

I always had a fairly strong vacuum when pulling mine off, there's basically none as I pull it away now and air just pours out (of course as there's a vacuum leak)

PCV is an easy swap, might be worth it to swap, though I hate just throwing $ at parts without confirmation.

What PCV valve revision do you have? The E revision my car came with from the factory had a slight vacuum & oil leak, so I picked up an AC revision for less than $80 even though now, AH is the latest offered by VW

funny as i just came from the thread with the guy from new zealand who had to replace his k04 on his R BECAUSE of the africa plate

That wasn't meant to antagonize. It's just funny when something supposed to be a solution

Like it felt like the cap weighed 50lbs. Happened when my PCV diaphragm tore and it was sucking air through the pin hole. Its a mjaor difference as if I tried it ow

I thought AE was for Audi models, and that requires seals rings and software updates.
