    Sudden loud high pitch noise from engine bay at idle or deceleration. Goes away under load. Car runs perfect. No codes...etc. Any ideas?

    Thank you namvar . Yes diagnosed the passenger side pcv and replaced it with a new one($340). Loud high pitch sound did NOT go away! Just ordered the driver side. Had no choice! I am hoping there is no other component in the crankcase breathing setup that could be causing the loud sound. I will know tomorrow if the $680 I just spent was not money out the window!

    Second valve cured the problem. $680 for two hoses and two small rubber diaphragms. I am in the hydraulic manufacturing business and can vouch that there is less than $8 of material in these. The Germans take the US consumer for a long ride and not just litterally !
