    Nope. And you only have to remove the front top cover to get the passenger airbox out to get the batwing out. This is my 2nd go around as my PCV went soon after I bought it. 3 hr job. Removing turbos adds an hour to that.

    Haven't figured out where they are yet, and whether I will replace them or leave them out.

    Likely buy replacement cartridges.


    Pics of what?

    Audi just extended the warranty on that PCV valve on 4.0TTs, so depending on the situation, some people may be eligible for reimbursement if they paid for replacement.

    Mine failed at about 65K miles while the car was still under CPO warranty, so that's good, I guess...
