re: 2.5L PCV valve failure solutions from Dorman!
The 2.5L; has a common issue, where the PCV valve fails. Up until now the only option; was to buy a whole new valve cover from Volkswagen (VW doesn't sell the PCV separately); at $225 or more, plus install... it is a pretty expensive fix with stock Volkswagen dealer parts! Because of this issue; Dorman has come out with a PCV repair kit and it is around $30 or so. I thought I would post this; so, this info maybe useful for anyone with this problem in the future.
DORMAN: PART #: 917-064 PCV DIAPHRAGM
Item Details
NOTE: according to the application guide; it will also work with the new 2.0L turbo engine as well; all the way up to the current model; Jetta, Golf, Beetle etc.
