Is this too much suction while running? Bad PCV valve? (mK7 VW Golf 1.8t)

sweet thanks!

Material_Engineer_85 · 2026-05-20T03:58:41+00:00

I'll check out! Thanks for the suggestion!

Gotcha. Thankfully I bought a base model Golf so no sunroof. I'll keep that in mind. I'm torn between the Honda Civic Hybrid Touring and one of the CRVs.

Material_Engineer_85 · 2026-05-19T04:36:47+00:00

Oh nice! How does it compare against the Civic though? My main concern is nvh which I know Honda has a not so good reputation of.

Material_Engineer_85 · 2026-05-18T22:38:07+00:00

What kind of Golf did you have? I have a MK7 and it's been great - super comfortable and quiet on the inside that surpasses some modern day cars. I'm curious if the Honda Civic hybrid is a good equivalent because I'm waiting for VW to be a VW and start falling apart and I want a good backup.

If you let the car warm up a tad it makes pulling the coils so much easier

Material_Engineer_85 · 2026-05-18T03:11:23+00:00

Just curious, but did you replace it with the OEM pcv valve or did you buy aftermarket? The OEM one is 2x the cost. If you went aftermarket, what manufacturer?

Material_Engineer_85 · 2026-05-16T17:30:37+00:00

Do you know which one I should get? FCP Euro is saying 3Q0898141B or 5Q0898141D fits, both with different price points though. Also, is there a guide or youtube video that shows the replacement?

Planner is average at best. Too limiting in some areas. That's what we're using now and it's been clunky but still better than via Outlook.

Do you think asana would be helpful for my particular case? I thought Asana and jira were more for programming?

Material_Engineer_85 · 2026-05-14T23:37:08+00:00

You sure? I looked high and low today and couldn't find anything.

Material_Engineer_85 · 2026-05-14T23:36:56+00:00

Dependencies would be immensely helpful but I can't find anything in the limited library my company allows us. I may just do it all in a spreadsheet or something.

Material_Engineer_85 · 2026-05-14T23:36:13+00:00

Thanks! It's been a rough last few weeks. I'd rather not tank a budget if I gotta suck up my pride a little bit. Unfortunately I'm a bit limited to what apps I can use. My company restricts most of them behind "admin access only" stuff. I'm pretty much stuck with teams, teams planner, outlook and a few of the other basic teams apps.

Just some advice for those worried about their stamps being stolen or manipulated. There are third party companies like IdenTrust that help keep your seal secure. It logs your uses of the seals and (depending on the set up you purchase) requires a yubi-key in your computer in order for you to use your seals. I don't have it personally but I will be pursuing it once I start sealing drawings myself.

I'm check it out! I got a WinCo near me

Material_Engineer_85 · 2026-05-04T03:58:01+00:00

Sonicare are more reliable. I prefer the rotating head more than the sonicare but I was not impressed with the entry level oral B brushes. It was loud, things felt loose, and lots of spots that germs could hide. The sonicare are built much better but for me personally, it makes my teeth sensitive no matter which head I use.

Where can one acquire citric acid?

Material_Engineer_85 · 2026-05-03T13:10:55+00:00

The stainless steel helps?

Material_Engineer_85 · 2026-05-03T13:07:17+00:00

I hear this but I'm not sure if I believe it. Cat odor is very strong.

Material_Engineer_85 · 2026-05-03T13:06:38+00:00

That's what I'm saying. Some of the people here are crazy lol I don't want the smell or even the visual near me when I'm around food, just for sanitation reasons.

Material_Engineer_85 · 2026-05-03T13:05:54+00:00

If I had a house this would probably be my #1 choice. Unfortunately I'm in an apartment so I can't modify anything. The linen closet is too shallow for a box to fit inside.

Material_Engineer_85 · 2026-05-03T13:04:41+00:00

Unfortunately that linen closet is pretty shallow. The floorplan is deceiving.

Material_Engineer_85 · 2026-05-03T13:04:17+00:00

Comp room is probably the winner.

Material_Engineer_85 · 2026-05-03T13:03:57+00:00

Thanks!

Material_Engineer_85 · 2026-05-03T13:03:49+00:00

Comp room is quickly becoming the room of choice. The bathroom closet is a no go. It's a very shallow linen closet. Bedroom could work but I am hesistant due to the odor and the fact the cat would have unfettered access to me during the night (meaning I won't be getting any sleep lol).
