Rough Running & Running Lean - Volkswagen CC Sport

Come along with Eric O. at the SMA shop as he has a look at this 2011 VW CC Sport with a 2.0 that has a customer complaint of running rough and a loud squealing noise coming from engine. Upon pulling codes we have a P0300, P0171, P0506, P0302, P0301, P0303, P0304, P119A and a P2187. Believe it or not these are all caused by one faulty part. Amazing what a little internal vacuum leak can do. Stay tuned to see the fix!
****Check out a video from Tom @ Positive Lead Diagnostics on a similar issue: • 2009 Volkswagen Passat...

PCV valves, with a ball and spring, did an elegant job of clearing blowby gasses without needing any electronic control. It's hard to avoid the thought that progressive engineering can be a step backward when you search for parts on an old vehicle like this. Great summary, it's always fun to follow along.

This vehicle does not have a valve cover gasket or spark-plug tube seals. It uses a special VW green silicone, P/N: D154103A1. Also the valve cover is the camshaft retaining frame and integrates in itself the cam bearings. This frame is unique to the cylinder head and if you put any other frame, the engine will seize. The "valve cover"/retaining frame is not available as a separate part as it is married to the cylinder head and if you brake it, you must buy a new cylinder head. Also, Eric, there is a special tool to remove the coils on all audi/VW models. Tool number: T40039

Had my 2008 Golf GTI 2.0T since new. Gave it a stage 1 reflash, aftermarket dogbone mount and insert, and heavier rear sway bar. Every time I get in it and drive I get a huge smile, even after 10years. It's by far the best drive I've ever owned (I'm 68 so have had a lot of different cars) and gets a service once a year always using premium VW502 or newer spec oil. I have replaced the HPFP cam follower once, a couple of DSG services, and a few sets of tyres, one set of brakes and rotors, one battery, timing belt and water pump. Nothing in there indicates this is anything but a high quality product providing immense driving enjoyment. I'm not ready to trade it on anything new. You can stuff your cheap Japanese, Korean, and US cars where the sun don't shine, hehe. I've owned them all before the GTI.

I used to work for a shop that worked exclusively on European cars. Every since brand of Euro car has issues with their crankcase vent. These not only cause lean running codes and major oil consumption issues (with can destroy the engine through not only oil starvation but also due to extreme detonation due to sucking in tons of oil vapor under load), but can also cause oil leaks, especially on turbo cars. Manifold vacuum turns to Manifold boost under a load and it will put full boost pressure into the crankcase. I've seen crank seals literally blown and and removed from their home in the engine because of CCV faults. At my shop, EVERY car that had an oil leak from anywhere got the crankcase vacuum checked during the diagnostic process.

Just had one of these done on my 2009 VW Tiguan...Called an oil separator....the sound it was making was horrendous and didn't sound at all like it was coming from that area...thought my engine was a gonner. Had that belt squealing/metal on metal scrapping sound...I didn't have a code reader at the time and had other things I knew were needed....leaking water pump. They also replaced my air intake manifold gasket covered under warranty to 120k surprisingly but I was thankful for that because they were able to reduce the cost of the water pump replacement because you have to take the intake off to get to the water pump. If I had known with a code reader that it was that oil separator I could have easily fixed it myself and saved about $300. It cost about $500 to have it done (ridiculous). My recommendation is to not buy a used VW ever! They don't make them with serviceability in mind for anyone especially a DIY guy. Also as you said the plastic is horrible everywhere on the vehicles. In my opinion that cheap plastic is a very planned/calculated failure. Especially when you make water pump housings that fails over and over and common out of that cheap plastic... My choices - Toyota, Honda, Lexus or Acura ONLY!

Replacing the PCV valve/oil separator peice is NOT necessary- IF you replace the peice correctly. The key is to use the OEM rubber diaphragm peice. Not the cheap dorman type you mentioned. I replaced MY diaphragm, and rebuilt mine. 20k miles later - NOT a problem. I may be the rare ones who got lucky. you do NOT have to replace this whole piece. of course its' easier to just replace the whole part, but for $30, I fixed the problem....thaks for your videos. also I dida pcv bypass and put a oil/water catch can in, and it's catching all the moisture and spent fuel/oil that's not being recirculated backinto the turbo - ANOTHER huge recommendation.

Always always always check the rear main seal after replacing those PCV assemblies. The two go hand in hand on the Audi side, not sure if it's as common on VW. I've only ever used the factory scan tool to run the drive cycle, but it's always called "Readiness Code". They do run an open and closed loop, so I'm not sure why your scan tool was saying open loop. I want to say it would be listed under "CL Status" on the OEM data, but don't hold me to it. Did you get a water pump job out of it too?

I had no clue what a "triple square" was until 15 months ago when I repaired my buddy's daughter's '06 Jetta. It ain't no Torx I'll tell ya that! :D It does look like 3 squares equally spaced over one another - how about that? :) Thing was puking oil like crazy .. out the vacuum pump! I couldn't wrap my head around the fact a gas engine had a vacuum pump ... and then I just recently found GM trucks have them now too! What is this world coming to ... Anyway .. service manual says to yank tranny to replace pump! I uttered something about the Nope Nope Train going to some "expletive" That-Ville town ... and just removed the (don't know what it's called) from the shift shaft on top of the tranny, yanked the pump apart (which they said not to do) and loaded it up with Permatex Right Stuff, & reassembled. No more leak! Did a full brake job, and also replaced one hub bearing. Had to buy a couple sets of triple square sockets for that one. VWs are odd creatures!

Yeah I have a customer with a 2.5 with the vacuum pump and same thing. you can pull it apart after removing the trans range sensor and fix it right in place :D

THAT'S the part I couldn't remember - range sensor! I swear I have 2 brain cells - one's lost and the other is trying to find it ... :D Yep, was the same engine on the Jetta - naturally aspirated 2.5 .
