New pvc oil separator but still oil out crankhouse breather hose hose
Posted: Sat Dec 17, 2022 2:40 pm
Hi everyone,
I have a peculiar problem with my Polo 9N 1.2L
I had a oil leak from the old pvc oil separator so I replaced it with a new one, Oil leak is fixed but now it seems to be a high oil pressure in the engine. No fault lights and engine runs well but the crankhouse oil breather hose gets blown off and it splatters oil through that tiny hole and all over the engine bay.If I open the dipstick while holding the hose in place then oil comes out of the dipstick tube.
To drive the car I've been forced to mount a catch can (0.5L bottle) which fills up in under 20 min.
Can it be the little pvc valve located on the airfilter housing that is clogged or stuck? The breather hose goes from the crankhouse and to this valve.
One question though..should the breather hose spew out so much oil?
And should there be a strong vaccum from the pvc oil separator when I take of the hose that goes into it when engine is running?
Also..when I disconnect the electrical connector nothing happens.. is this normal?
I appreciate any answers!
