The pcv valve malfunctioned and required an extensive repair bill to solve. I've learned that this very engine (3. 0) is already a subject of a recall for this concern, but the recall cuts off at 2016 audis, and mine is a 2017. Please update your recall list to include all audi models with this 3. 0 engine, as the problem is the same regardless of the year.
