Yeah it seems like this issue is extremely widespread. They told me it is a wear part and that is why it isn't covered. I very explicitly told him that is an absurd statement as a $120,000 car should not have a $1500 repair "wear part" at 45,000 miles. 75,000 or 100,000 maybe but 45k?!

My ‘13 CPO 4.0t with 57K miles started squealing last week. Had to wait until today to get a loaner from Audi. My cost is $85 for the deductible. Sounds crazy a small part like this should cost so much...

My S8
I have the same issue. The dealer is saying it will be $4,000 to fix the PCV valve and they also say something about the oil separator. Does that sound right, it is a 2014 Audi S8 with under 50K miles. Should the warranty cover this stuff?

the PVC and oil separator are terms used interchangeably sometimes.
It doesn’t cost more than $1500 at the dealer I paid$1450. If they want $4k than they are most likely trying to pull a fast one one you

Another PCV valve whistling noise victim and I *just* rolled over 50k miles. 
I put the TSB PDF on google drive for easy finding: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1a_...irNMNMkccjHDbA
Dealer quoted me $1400. I can get the part for under $300 and will probably do it myself.

Let us know how that goes. My dealership replaced mine a few months ago, the service manager said they had to take so much off to get to it, there was a lot of labor. I think he said the turbos had to come off, could that be right? It was covered luckily, I had the tune taken out a couple days before. They didn't see it.

I think there needs to be a recall honestly. This is ridiculous for an emissions part to fail this early on so many vehicles. It's not even about the money but I will be saving my receipts in case Audi decides to own up to this.

Small tidbit to add. The part number in the TSB lists the PCV as 079103542D
The part I got at the dealer was 079103542E
Not uncommon for part numbers to change but I wonder if they did revise the design in some way.
