Title: Low oil pressure caused by PCV?
Post by: silvergti_ on June 09, 2025, 05:49:08 pm
My BWA GTI threw a low oil pressure warning sign. About an hour before the sign appeared I installed a new PCV as my car was drinking all of my oil for some odd reason, so I determined it was the PCV. I know it cant really be the pick up pipe as that was cleaned about 200 miles prior to the warning light coming on. My question is could it be that I received a faulty PCV (it was an ebay PCV not a genuine) or that the balance shaft deleted itself?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
