cracked Rocker Cover Gasket

[swoods]

Finally been informed by the grage that my car has been fixed.... only took them 6 weeks!

The fault was a cracked Rocker Cover Gasket; my question is....

Should I expect this part to fail on a car that is just over 3.5 years old and only covered 32k?

Thanks in advance.

What engine and what were the symptoms?

 

[swoods]

Lean FR TFSI. Initally the engine was cutting out when idle... then after 'replacing some sensors' the engine was reving whilst idle.

i suppose in theroy this would be the same as if your pcv was leaking?

R666CHE has the same high idle problem. She has a new PCV on order in hope that fixes it.

In answer to the original question, its not something I have heard of thus far, but then you dont know what work has been done on the car prior to you getting it.

gasket ? or cover ?

ive seen the pcv system fail and cause the system to run mega lean which causes the tfsi lumps to go ape sh1t for example cook the cat.
A cracked rocker cover gasket would more than likely cause a lumpy idle rather than a high one.
