Volkswagen Passat 1996 Sedan 260000 miles
The car is running very rough, idling at working rpm, does not matter hot ir cold. Stalls sometimes at traffic light. Oil found in the air intake. Pcv valve was replaced but did not solve the problem. Vaccum hose was found cracked, replaced, and it did run good for a while, but not for long. Then the plastic was found cracked at air intake, also replaced but still the same problem. Diagnostics are showing only the consequences of this problem but not the solution. It is burning lots of oil, needs to be reffiled every 150-200 KM so thats almost everyday. My next step would be removing lots of other hidden hoses (that requires lots of tearing down) for inspection, checking the sensors, wires, ground, fuses. Unless somebody had this problem and know what would be the solution.
