Has anyone replaced the breather valve on Q5 3.2 as in the picture above in this thread?
Is it a case of changing out the part, or is there something to reset or tune once the part has been changed? Considering attempting this myself so any info would be appreciated.
Anyone have a link to somewhere I can order the genuine Audi part in the US?

I did replace mine. it wasn't as difficult as I thought.
the after market part costs only $60.
it sits between the V shape of the engine.
remove everything on top, remove fuel rail, injectors, flappers, you will see it.
pull out the heater hose, then simply remove/replace it.

first time took me 2 hours.
but I didn't install flappers properly, so I had to do it again, 2nd took only 1 hour.

good luck.

Thanks for the information. Where did you purchase the part for $60. I haven't been able to find it online for less than $170.

Thanks again

Hi Stephen,

finally got round to replacing my pcv. I’m in the middle of doing it but can’t figure out how to get the coolant pipe that runs over the pcv out of the way. How to you manage to get this out of the way. Also, did you have to remove both lower intake runners?

thanks

Hello there, I have a 2006 Audi a6 quattro. I had the same problem, I was looking for the Pcv valve, until I found it. When you pop up the hood, check under the cover where it says 3.2 psi or something like that. Mine is located there. Hope it helps
