Valve gear rattle from cold - 2.5 TDi

There are two Oil Retention Valves with the same part number. Regards Peter

Thanks chaps.

What other symptoms would these worn valves show apart from rattle noise?
Is there a possibility of added crankcase pressure?

:confused:

No it is really only the start up rattle due to seepage through the retention valves. Increased sump preseure is usually a blocked breather system. Regards Peter

you can not always go off the picture, it should tell you the quantity required in ETKA Or VagCat.

There are two oil retention valves. One for the left bank and one for the right bank. Regards Peter

Hi,
Been a while since I was here last, previously had a V6 passat, which I ran to 150K, recently aquired a bargainous (we'll see) 2.5tdi V6 67k

Bought it cheap, low on power and needing a clean replaced the MAF and hey presto, changed all the belts, now on to disks, pads and calipers and a couple of suspension components.

I did notice this one to be a bit rattley at start up, more so than I had remembered - so was wondering about changing this part. Any ideas where i can look online?

Look online for what, the parts or how to do the job. Regards Peter
