PCV has finally given up - where to source parts in the UK?

Post by DG555 » Mon Apr 21, 2025 2:39 pm

Hi all,
After 112,000 miles our RS4 turned into an idling jet engine over the weekend so it seems one of the PCV has given up and will need replacing. I believe the parts for the left and right side are as follows but where's the best place in the UK to get them? I can only find some on eBay from Lithuania and would rather try a UK Shop if possible. I'll give the local dealership a call tomorrow but wondered if there was anywhere I'd missed as they seem to be scarce at best.

Left - 079103210E

Right - 079103209CB

Just after a major service too. Great timing :(

Thx

Thanks Andy. I saw that late last night and messaged the guy who did it first to see if his car is still alive :) Certainly saves 25% which always helps.

All sorted. Went for new OEM instead and I must have ordered ones with extra placebo as it’s running smoother than before. £200 each but one less thing to replace now.

Thx for the advice.

It was me that did the Merc PVC swap, sorry I don't come on here often and only saw your PM today. Just for reference I've had no issues since fitting.
