I had my 2012 Q5 2.0t oil separator replaced and the check engine P2187 code keeps popping up. Any suggestions on what else could be causing the issue?
Hey Naptown got an issue with my b8. Once the car reaches operating temp. and i come to a full stop at a light my rpm will very very slightly fluctuate a few times above the usual 750 idle rpm and then stay where they should be. Any idea what could be causing this? Throttle body? MAF sensor? Ive already changed the pvc valve but have yet to change the pcv hoses. If it should be false air, where should i begin to check ? Mind you, no CEL or anything.
@@NaptownTuner Update to my P2187 issue. Got my 2011 2.0T 10 months ago and had only been running 98 RON fuel in it. I switched to 95 Fuel late last week and the system has now ceased the P2187 error. 😁
This video helped me clear 13 (related) codes on my buddies '10 Audi A4 Quattro wagon, saving him hundreds of dollars. All I did was replace the spark plugs, the #3 ignition coil, and the PCV cap like the one in this video. Thanks again for making this video and for taking to the time to explain in simplistic terms.
Thank you, got this code today. I replaced a faulty seal on hpfp, replaced the cam follower. Had to move a couple of pipes / maybe breathing pipes. Possible issue? It's night time here, I'll have to inspect in the morning.
Next door in Ohio. While removing the lower timing cover on my 2013 audi allroad 2.0 tfsi went to retrieve that teflon spacer to place in front of crankshaft bolt the main chain shifted. I was reinstalling bolt and spacer when I noticed. Placed two zip ties on cam to prevent more movement. Am I screwed? Much appreciated.
Completely unrelated question but how much do you know about the turbo on a 2006 a4 avant, its the 2.0tfsi sline quattro special edition 220hp 163nm bul engine? I bought the turbo muffler delete and I can't fit it as there are no bolts on the original ko3 it's a sealed unit. My question is, are they all bolted on is it stock or has someone changed it?
Thx! What if I can take the oil cap off? It’s not the PCV (positive crankcase ventilation) valve, correct? I’m getting all sorts of error codes including the P1287 -System too lean at idle.
It’s a cheap fix, just replace it. Worse come to worse you won’t have to worry about the rear seal. Next if pvc replacement doesn’t work, clean or replace MAF sensor. Then after it’s the fuel injectors and intake manifold, those are expensive.
I just got this code on my 2014 allroad. I found a tear in the PVC diaphragm as you predicted, replaced it with the Dorman part and all is well now. Total cost was less than $40, and it only took me about 10 minutes. Thank you Naptown Tuner!
Wow I had no idea you could just replace the diaphragm? I just spent $200 on the assembly the xxxx AK version .. wish I’d have seen this a month ago..LOL. Nice fix
Changed the pcv diverter cap still have to lean at idle bank one and have some air intake leaks I reset the codes they are off while driving them come back after I start it up the next time any suggestions
I replaced my PCV module with OE and it is running good. The check engine light is still on, do I need to reset it? Wondering if it actually fixed the issue since the light remains after the repair.

hey man i live in indy have a question for you. i have and audi a4 07 2.0 fsi and i have the EPC ligth on just happen recently , can you comment on what can possible fix my issue what parts need to be replace ,it will be awesome that you comment. awesome thanks i wacth almost all your videos i have learn so much but i need help.
I replaced the whole PCV/Oil separator assembly on my 2012 A5, but the code is still showing up. What’s the next most likely issue? Intake gaskets, bad O2 sensor, bad MAF? I’ve driven it quite a bit with the new PCV so I would have assumed the code would go away after the ECM ran through all the checks and the issue was resolved. Just today, I manually deleted the code with my code reader, so we’ll see if it comes back 🤞🏻 Oh! I’ve also got a bad wastegate so I’m getting the p0299 code as well. Could the p2187 also be caused by the turbo issue? Just wondering if I should fix that and see if it clears up both issues. Thanks again for all the really helpful videos. I’ve been a GM guy my whole life so this German car is a new experience
@@tubbycustard8866 good luck. I just ended up trading it in for a new Tesla Model 3 Performance. The Audi had almost 200k on it and I didn’t want to spend thousands on replacing the turbo just to have the transmission go out so I threw in the towel on it. They gave me $2,800 for it. It was the safe move…
Just got 2187 and 2279 while flushing coolant and replacing pcv box Had a local shop do a smoke test they found no leaks, High and low pressures are correct, pcv is good, maf is good, system can correct itself, but consistsntly runningat 40% adaptive, happening to all cylinders evenly, all injectors seem ok Dont know whats causing
I know it’s been two months but hopefully this will help someone else, if not you. Go to “Rockauto.com” and just type in the part number he says at the beginning or look up 2010 VW cc 2.0 turbo and go to engine and look for PCV diaphragm. Or go to Google and type in DORMAN and the part number he says at the beginning. That should do it.
I'd like to know too. I'm guessing it's a potential solution. There are other factors that can cause it too. But knowing the PCV is a common problem, it may be worth it to just throw a new part at it, just in case. Can also check out NT's post on testing the whole PCV module where he blows/sucks on it checking the valves.
@@G60Guy I fix my p2177 code. My P2177 also cause multiple misfires. I replaced coils and plugs, the same, I test my vacuum from the pcv the same so it’s good. I clean my MAF sensor with MAF cleaner and that fix it. So in conclusion, I think that p2177 is more related to MAF and the p2187 is more related to the pcv. Changing the pcv is also a good idea, I’ll probably do it in next oil change since it’s only like $60 on ecs. Hope this helps.
Watch this one if you want to replace it all

From what I read, after checking maf sensor, pvc then next would be intake manifold and fuel injectors. Those are the expensive fix’s.

I have the same issue with a 2010 Passat cc, any idea what it was?
I am having a P2188 come up. I replaced my MAF and debating if I need to replace the o2 sensor or try this. I have a 2014 A4
what fixed the issue?
I've got the 2187 on my 2011. Replacing the PCV still didn't fix the error.
The entire engine pulls a vacuum so could be anywhere if it’s ever been apart.

Did you fix it? Next would be Maf sensor cleaning and then intake manifold then fuel injector. Check for vacuum leak near your intake or pvc

I’m watching all your video bro helping me a lot and what about code P2178 what it is bro?
I ❤ you. Thanks for saving me thousands$$$!!!
I have the same code and I’m about to put on a oil catch can since it completely replaces the pcv would that fix the issue ?

Is that part for 2013 Audi Q5 or just 2010-12. The computer says it does not fit. I am seeing an SKP SK917064 that shows as fitting my year.
The best way to do it is to get the full assembly,

What’s that part number on that Dorman box? I know it’s a little late, but I work at autozone and I don’t see that when I search my vehicle
917-064
Is the PCV the only cause for a P2187 code? Will it cause misfires under load?
Would this part/ part number work on a 2013 A4 B8?
Great question, wondering the same

Those last about 3 months before they go bad again. I installed 3, all 3 came back. Your mileage may vary.
You recommend the whole assembly like ecs has or just buy oem?
