Do the bones creak when you move, and you involuntarily break wind when you get out of the chair?

Why would that have stopped?

Golf PCV valve swapped, nice easy job.  Sounds much less throaty and EML gone

And the reduced effort and hassle means it was £50 well spent

Yes, opened the old one up, snapped one brittle tab...Diaphram shot!  Id be constantly hoping other clips held it together ok

Starting to think the same. All Chinese. Can get a whole unit for a little over double. And not much more again for something more reputable.

General Car Chat / Golf PCV Valve replacement or just Diaphram

« on: 17 September 2023, 12:06:58 »

The golf has a variety of intake air leaks flagged.  Google sent me to the PCV valve, which is indeed broken (the diaphram).

Anyone been here before? 

You can get replacement diaphram kits like these

I inherited some triplewax jet wash driveway cleaner that took the oily residue of a small spill off a black driveway very easily.

I reckon your best bet is to cover the rest of the drive the same, then it will all match.

Talking of DHL deliveries - DHL delivered the Creality doors, they also delivered a parcel with car service parts. Amongst other things, I ordered a single pattern air filter and received 2 genuine ones .  Makes up for another minor cock-up on the order from that seller

I'm waiting for a DHL delivery at the moment, so you lot have really filled me with hope.

Fixed the Corsa handbrake. Nothing broken in the end. Had just jumped off mounts and seized a bit. Cleaned, greased and reassembled and adjusted and all is well. One happy Harry.

Speaking of the Corsa C.....our car has soaking wet carpets on the driver side floor (behind pedal area is perfectly dry)

Both scuttle drains cleared out the first time it happened.

Where is the water coming from??

Passenger side leak on this one!  only seems to be when facing uphill in the rain, also checked the drains etc last night

Electrical box cover seal:

Swapped, old seal virtually gone, most the screws rusty.
Whipped the battery tray out, and all good under there too.
the battery clamp nut may have, erm, stripped a bit though.  But a job for another day
