Upgrade your factory corrugated plastic, failure-prone PCV breather hose with the high-performance, reliable 034Motorsport PCV Breather Hose, engineered for enhanced durability and long-lasting performance. 

The PCV, or Positive Crankcase Ventilation system, on the EA839 is located on bank 2 of the engine (The right side of the engine). It is designed to ventilate the engine's positive crankcase pressure through the breather hose into the intake tract or charge air system. The breather hose plays an integral role in this ventilation system, which uses two check valves to control the flow of crankcase pressure.

How Does the PCV System Operate?

The Positive Crankcase Ventilation System on the EA839 works to remove excess pressure from the crankcase system and relies on the vacuum from the engine’s intake system to operate properly. At idle or cruising while not in boost, the engine’s charge air system operates under vacuum, drawing air in continuously. During this state, the PCV system utilizes this vacuum to release crankcase pressure into the charge air system through the connection just after the throttle body.

However, when the vehicle is under boost (during acceleration), this connection becomes pressurized, meaning it can no longer provide a vacuum source for crankcase ventilation. When this happens, a check valve in the breather hose closes off this connection, preventing boost pressure from entering the crankcase. At this point, the breather hose is able to draw vacuum from the turbo inlet connection, as this creates vacuum through a siphoning effect as the turbocharger draws air in through the intake.

Whether you are sitting at a stoplight or romping on a backroad, a properly operating PCV system is crucial for maintaining the engine’s performance and preventing harmful pressure buildup.

Why is the OE PCV System Insufficient?

The check valves within the factory breather hose are an integral component of ensuring correct operation. However, since these check valves deal with the high temperatures of an engine bay and the transition between vacuum and boost pressure, they are susceptible to premature failure. When they fail, excess pressure can enter the crankcase, causing it to operate under conditions it was not designed for. In fact it’s likely these are the same as what Audi uses on naturally aspirated engines, which makes them not up to the task of dealing with pressures associated with turbocharged engines.

As the crankcase of the engine is not designed to operate under pressure, it typically will find the path of least resistance to release this excess pressure. The seals and components inside your engine, which are designed to operate under vacuum, aren’t built to handle this excess pressure. In some cases, the path of least resistance is unfortunately the oil cap, which can loosen and expel hot oil into the engine bay, potentially causing a fire.

Audi issued a TSB (Technical Service Bulletin) concerning this failure of the PCV Breather Hose as of 2020, though in our testing 034Motorsport has concluded that even the newest variant of breather hose is susceptible to failure.

Some other solutions on the market neglect the importance of maintaining adequate vacuum pressure from the charge air system and intake tract to ensure proper operation of the PCV system. Because the PCV system relies on these two separate vacuum sources under normal operation, removing one would prevent the crankcase ventilation system from functioning properly.

When these solutions remove the intake tract as a vacuum source, it disrupts the PCV system’s ability to vent crankcase pressure at idle or in a cruising state while not in boost. Because the crankcase no longer has sufficient vacuum pressure, seals that are designed to operate with this vacuum pressure can fail prematurely. This lack of vacuum pressure can also lead to the potential of pressurization of the crankcase system and engine damage.

Additionally, many aftermarket solutions have check valves that do not provide sufficient flow to accommodate the boost levels of Stage 3 equipped vehicles. These check valves are too small and this inefficiency can cause restrictions, resulting in reduced flow from the crankcase, causing crankcase pressure to build up. br*2 During the development of the 034Motorsport Stage 3 Dynamic+ tuning suite, the development B9 Audi S4 experienced an unfortunate OEM PCV breather hose failure.

This failure caused oil to be expelled through the oil cap and onto the hot turbocharger, immediately causing an engine oil fire. This failure was documented in our video Ashes to Asphalt, documenting the extent of the damage and how 034Motorsport was able to make the most out of the situation.

Because of this failure, it made engineering a proper solution that was able to withstand the harsh engine bay temperatures and elevated boost levels of utmost priority for 034Motorsport Engineers.

 

What is The Fix?

034Motorsport began by benchmarking the factory PCV system for flow capacity and other check valves on the market. Due to this, we opted to engineer and develop our own proprietary check valves that offer fantastic restrictionless-flow capability when open, and create a strong seal when closed, capable of holding over 40+ PSI of pressure and dealing with the high temperatures this system is subject to. These check valves utilize a durable synthetic rubber diaphragm that offers superior high heat and chemical resistance.

034Motorsport engineers designed the 034Motorsport PCV Hose to be used with the OEM Factory Air Oil Separator, as we found during testing that this unit provides excellent crankcase pressure control and is capable of supporting the flow needed at Stock through Stage 3 power levels without failure.

The 034Motorsport Check Valves are housed in a high-flow 4-ply reinforced silicone hose, specially designed to not collapse or inflate under vacuum or boost pressure. These silicone hoses are molded to allow for the factory engine cover to be utilized with the 034Motorsport PCV Breather System installed.

The 034Motorsport PCV Breather Hose uses OE-style multi-use connections, which allow for easy installation and removal when servicing your turbo inlet.

The OEM breather hose includes a new turbo inlet system as well, increasing the cost of this failure-prone component. whereas with the 034Motorsport PCV Breather System installed, there is no need for excessively costly OEM replacement components, as the 034Motorsport Breather Hose is engineered to last the lifetime of your vehicle.

The result is the 034Motorsport PCV Breather Hose, which isn’t just an upgrade for performance enthusiasts—it’s a critical safety enhancement for all EA839-equipped vehicles. It has been extensively tested on several 034Motorsport development vehicles for upwards of 2 years at varying power levels to ensure its performance and reliability, whereas the OEM breather hose can fail in as little as 3 months! The 034Motorsport PCV Breather Hose is suitable for all vehicles including those that are bone stock or upgraded with Dynamic+ Stage 1, 2, or 3 tuning!

Heaven sent
Size: Jumbo (25-Inch), Color: Dark Grey
My back suddenly decided to show me who's the boss. This reading pillow has been a God send! It is substantial without being too hard, soft enough to be comfortable without being too soft, absolutely no lumps! The outside cover is removable to allow for machine washing and is so soft to the touch. There is a handle on the back that makes it easy to move. This has allowed me to be able to sit upright, much appreciated!

Good value for the size and price.
This was very good quality and pretty color. I like small pockets on the sides. It was a nice size.

"Plusses" Are Bedrest's Extra High Back & Thick Padding
Bedrest arrives vacuum-packed in a box much smaller than anticipated, but quickly expands to "size", with a longer than usual backside and what appears to be a slightly narrower seating area. " Rest" is very comfortable and thick padding ensures it adequately supports your back. Appearance-wise, the material is somewhat wrinkled/creased (due probably to packaging) and yellow (which is color I got) is a little darker than pictured, with a bit of an orange tint. Carry-handle and arm pockets are appreciated features of convenience. Overall, I'm happy with purchase and look forward to many years of comfortable lounging.
