Pcv

[sartain87]

So, Frankie is kindly sorting my PCV system for me.

A couple of questions so im clear please, would a clogged PCV system cause oil consumption?

I also have "milky gunk" in the oil dipstick, i was understood it is because of moisture. Would this be the O ring on the dipstick or the PCV?

I only noticed it after an oil and filter change.

Thanks guys.

thats normal in a t5 mate, its just condesation (water) on cold mornings that mixes with the oil and it goes creamy, just check your filler cap and if all black al good

Yeah its all black mate, it worried me at first haha

Gonna change the o ring on the dipstick anyway, give it a try.

Would the PCV cause excess oil consumption? Car doesn't smoke.

yeah if its puffing it out the dipstick, how much oil you using? cos they do use oil these cars, some more than others

Probably a quarter of a litre every 500miles, more compared to other cars i've had. The PCV's getting changed either way so ill keep an eye on it after.

I would have just text you but after yesterday didnt wanna keep hassling you haha Plus im supposed to be "working and not using the phone"
