Title: How often should the dv and PVC be changed?
Post by: burger187 on September 01, 2014, 06:00:27 pm

I changed them about a year and a half ago do they have to be changed often? Thanks

Only when they're broken, you can change the DV every other service or something for prevention maybe but the pcv just do if it plays up.

I am thinking to change both on my 08 GTI with 19000 miles . It is an imported car from Japan and while it had service history I prefer preventative measures for the cost involved :) I don't see any current issues though .

The PVC should last for a long time? When I last changed my dv is was torn from
The rubber and I think it's torn again as I can hear an air leak
