audi a4 1.8t vacuum problems
today i was driving and the low oil pressure warning came on and i shut the engine off immediately.i pulled over and started it and after a few seconds running the top end of the engine started to squeel. the oil levels are fine and the oil is only 500 miles oil with mobile one synthetic.i got it towed home and started it again and tried to remove the oil filler cap and it wont come off because of so much vacuum.once i got it off while it was running it wouldn't run it will just stall. so i pinched off the pcv system by pinching the second vacuum line on the intake and it runs great. i am thinking that it is the t- valve which has 2 check valves on it but i am not shure.and help would be really appreciated.....the audi is a 2004 audi a4 amb 1.8t with a cvt trans.. hopes that helps thank...and it has exactly 66,600 miles on it........

i think it is that t-valve otherwise known as the pcv because it is supposed to regulate the amount of vacuum that is in the crankcase.i took the valve and it has flow back and forth and i can blow thru it with no problem so i will replace that and the prv and see if it works.
