Hey guys, new to the forum, new to diesels, not new to wrenching.
I recently bought a 98 Jetta AHU, and someone has messed with the CCV system, as in taken most of it out and left it to leak profusely. The CCV puck has been replaced with a 3/4 heater hose tee, with one end capped, and the other end plumbed with a couple feet of hose to nowhere. The barb on the intake tube is also capped. Where the CCV tube is supposed to go into the block, there is what looks very similar to a standard PCV valve in there (actually looks more like a brake vacuum check valve,) and nothing hooked up to it aside from a vacuum cap that looks like it blew off immediately after it was installed.
Am I right in assuming someone has replaced the tube with this? Or did some models have this setup and I'm just missing a hose? I cant find anything like this in my googling, nor can I find a place to plumb a hose.
I'm about ready to build myself a catch can and do away with this mess, but if this is in fact factory and there's an easier way to fix it I'm on board.
