VW 1998 Jetta GLX or VR6 GTI PCV valve Modification
Materials:
(1) Plastic Epoxy (fast setting type) I used Loctite Plastic Epoxy (sets in 7 minutes)
(2) 1 foot of ¾ inch (ID) radiator/heater hose. You only need about 3” but this is the minimum you could buy at the Autozone.
(3) Heater connectors (see below) I got mine from the Autozone, but you could use a similar item I guess. These fit perfectly in the existing hole on the valve which is handy… just as an fyi. (Help part number: 47065)
(4) Minimum Two hose clamps sized for the heater hose. You can get more if you want to clamp everything down, like I did.
(5) Some carburator cleaner.
Remove the entire intake pipe. Not exactly required, but it will be a good time to clean it out and get some of the “gunked” on oil residue off. On mine it was all over the place. Removing the intake pipe is a little different on some of the older VR6 models, but on the 98 this will involve loosening the two hose clamps on the intake hose (MAF and TB), the PCV vacuum line and the torn PCV hose/boot (else you probably would not be reading this…) connected to the valve cover. (Sorry no pics)..
