Default Who is following the PCV Fix?

Anyone waiting for the PCV fix from BSH?

There's way too much traffic on GolfMkV to follow, but I'm interested in your assessment of its functionality and potential long term effects.

Default Len helped with my pcv fix

it was better than oem/new for a while but then a simple hose broke. len has since come up with a better design, I think. And many folks didn't have any probs with the pcv fix.

I had the dealer do the oem revisions n/c.

If you can't get the n/c upgraded, the fix should work out.

I never saw as much boost, as I did when running the fix. Granted it was 1 lb higher.

Default Your pcv fix

I think yours was either the EJ or DH fix that involved another check-valve within new tubing.

The new "revamp kit" doesn't involve a check-valve or tubing, and isolates the pcv system from the intake manifold.

BSH PCV fix sucks. After I had it installed, the erratic idle problem went away, but while driving the car felt like it was going to stall when I came to a stop. Also, it messed with my turbo. I wasn't getting any boost after installing it professionally. I went with the new OEM Pressure Regulator Valve (PCV) which by the way was $15 cheaper from the DEALER, and all my troubles went away.
