PCV replacement

[Russler]

hi all

 

Have had a quick search but cant find a specific answer so......

 

Had my car mapped recently and was expecting an increase in MPG (I don't rag the car everywhere) but have noticed a significant DROP in mpg in the same conditions as I was driving before (I know there are many factors including tyres, weather etc etc) but I have a feeling it is the PCV as have had the occasional erratic idle.

 

Does anyone know the correct and newest revision part from Skoda (including any gaskets if required) so that I can replace as I understand its only a £40 part.

 

Cheers in advance

Depends what age your car is, the part changed slightly around 07/08.

 

Earlier type is 06F 129 101 N.

 

Later type also have an extra valve on the back, so part nos. 06F 129 101 P + 06F 103 215 B

Mine's an 06 too and I used the N revision when I changed it last year (or maybe the year before actually). If you call your local skoda dealer parts dep. and quote the N part number they will be able to tell you if it's been superceded.

Should also mention, the hardest part of this otherwise very easy job is getting the engine cover off. Details on that here: http://www.s****monkey.com/vw/jetta/2006/remove_engine_cover/
