Rich Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 I think it's one of the sensors on the top. Bad times.Surely if you order one from TPS or Vag they'll be able to tell you ?Try LupoBoz on here, he likes boys but that's just a sign that he's good with bits.

Defcon5 Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 I think thats the sensor on the top left of the cam cover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defcon5 Posted September 29, 2012 Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 That's the heating unit in the PCV breather pipe that goes to the airbox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beaks Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 No mods yet! totally standard for now, only had it a couple of weeks! It's a 54 plate with 56k on the clock, It was a trade in at the garage I work at, we replaced the cam position sensor on the passenger side of the cam cover, as it was pretty cheap, but no difference! The car runs perfectly and pulls really well, only thing it does do is kangeroo slightly from take off when started from cold but that doesn't last long!

Defcon5 Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 Has it just been blanked off? It wants an oil catch can fitting and plumbing back into the air intake post filter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 Like some kind of intake pressure is needed to suck out the oil fumes & shit ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defcon5 Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 No, it's just a better option than the alternatives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beaks Posted October 27, 2012 Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 (edited) Haven't got to the bottom of it yet, Iv fitted a new heater element in that breather pipe as mine was pretty oiled up and the contacts were a little oiled up too, made no difference though! I did however try my mates cam solenoid from his polo gti, (same part number to the loops.) the one on the drivers side of the cam cover, took it for a spin down the road and no light! I'll need to do a longer test on it though as my one, when fitted again, didn't throw the light back on till further along the road than I went! ill keep y'all updated though!

JoeA Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 It needs to be plumbed in. It allows for gases in the brankcase to be recirculated. It does rely on the negative intake pressure. The is what draws the gas out of it. It is not an important vacuum such as the brake servo one and cant guarantee itll sort out the light. But it is better to have it plumbed in doing what is is supposed to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeA Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 You can either get a little tap that bolts into a hole you'll have to make in one of the silicone pipes. Or a t section Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
