Default Faulty PCV Valve?

Hello.

I replaced the PCV Valve (Esen brand) on my A6 C6 (2010) in May.
I noticed if I want to take off the oil cap when the engine is running, I need fairly a lot of force to remove the cap, almost "impossible" with a single hand.

Is it possible that the replaced PCV Valve is already faulty? I barely drove like 3.000 kms since I replaced it.
Is there another way(s) to test, and make sure it's the PCV Valve that's failing?
PCV Valve kit I bought runs under this ID: 31SKV005 SKV/O

I appreciate any help or ideas!

Sorry, I forgot to mention. It's a 2.0 TFSI EA113.
