I am want to replace my PCV on my 2010 A4 Quattro. I took a picture of the part number, 06H103495J. Looking it up it appears that the latest version is 06H103495AE. But two places I found on line specifically state that it does not fit the “2010 Audi A4 Quattro Base” even though it specifically says has 06H103495J listed as a previous OEM

That seems unlikely it would not work fine but wanted to see if anyone had any thoughts.

Thank you,
Joel

I think this part can be tricky. I would get the part from an Audi dealer by having them lookup the VIN. Don't search by part number. I'm sure the parts probably fit, but there were changes to PCV valve that may cause problems if you don't use the right one.

My site is audionlineparts.com We are a sponsor here on the forum. $58 on my site and free shipping using promo code "audiworld" Let me know if you need anything else or want me to double check according to your VIN. But im 99.9% sure this is correct for a 2010 2.0 A4

Have you had a stage 1 oil consumption repair? there is revised ecu programming that may be intended to go with the updated part.

Delta Rover - I have not has a stage 1 oil consumption repair. This car is out of warranty so would like to avoid the expense if possible. So many posts describe my issue exactly and say changing the PCV fixed the problem.

Also, I called the dealership as suggested, thank you very very much for that suggestion. Apparently the part number 06H103495AE is ok for my car. So going to go for it.

Jeremy, I looked around and took you up on ordering from you. Looking forward to getting my parts.

Thank you both. I'll let you know how it turns out.

What issue are you trying to address? The PCV valve is a good part to replace every once in a while. The price mentioned seems like a good deal and its a fairly easy DIY.

Vacuum leak and running lean. I do not have the codes at the moment but they are mentioned in several other threads.

DeltaRover

Have you taken a look at the cap that sits on top of the PCV valve? you can pop it off and see if the gasket is toast. That would definitely cause a vacuum leak. They changed this part on my 2013 as part of a service campaign. There are videos on youtube on how to check this. The humble mechanic has lots of good info on the PCV valve.

I have not, good tip thank you. I will look later today.

After much time not replacing the PCV I finally did and it fixed both the reported vacuum leak, running lean and not surprisingly low oil pressure. If there is a nest time I will check the gasket first.
