Default PCV Removal assistance needed!

Hello Everyone,

I am trying to tune up my '99 Coupe A4 and want to do some maintence before I take it on a trip to Atlanta, GA

How many gallons of DEX-COOL/Water do you need to put back into the radiator once you drain it through the pet **** on the bottom? (I live in Orlando, FL)

How do you remove the PCV valve and where is it located?


I tried searching for pics and looked at a engine removal from cajundudes' website but I'm having some difficulty

Thank you in advance for reading this!

This is super easy. Its on the right side, and connects to the intake just at the throttle body. Follow the valve cover connection lines to it. You will find it attached with a large wire type thing which is there to keep it heated.

For PCV valve removal (if your C5's setup is identical to my 01's setup), see:

Nows a good time to re-configure it right so no oil & the crankcase gets proper ventelation & flushing.
