Crankcase pressure regulator valve

[esse10]

Does anybody know if the 1.8 turbo has a PCV valve and or does the crankcase pressure regulator valve took it's place ? and if so how does the crankcase pressure regulator valve work? Is that also like a check valve that opens in one direction after a certain pressure???? sure appreciate it guys.

trying to see if my beetle has a pcv valve cause I can't find it. Second I found what the book calls a crankcase pressure regulator valve and was wondering if that tooks it's place cause it seems to be mounted in the place where the PCV valve usually is in the older cars.

Did you replace it and if so was it hard to get to?
I am thinking of replacing mine but I don't want to take the manifold off to do it.

You do have one. When I called Autozone they told me the same thing. Call Advance Auto and they can order it for you. Takes about a day. They quoted me 15 bucks or call the dealer, they carry them in stock for about 26 bucks. It's not a traditional PCV valve but rather a plastic insert that goes into a T. It's located under the manifold to the right of the plastic dip stick tube. Really hard to get to.
You can also order it for $11.95 from ECS tuning:

How did the strut replacement go? I am about to replace the struts on my Beetle. Was it difficult to do or is it something someone with regular hand tools can do? Thanks for the insight.

The PCV valve sits in the upside down rubber T. Looks fairly easy to get to once the cylinder head is off.
I just did my valve cover and cam chain tensioner gaskets and that was a fun job all in itself. But now my valve cover shines like it never did before and no more pesky oil leaks dripping into my spark plug tubes.

Hey thanks D2beetle, great picture. I have seen that little T hose before and very hard to get to.

You are welcome. I have to replace the whole tube as it is plastic and mine is cracked from the block up to the turn.
