As the thread title says.

I have noticed the grease from the piston spilling out of the VTA port on the BOV, I've had to wipe it down twice now. My concern is that if more and more grease comes out, will the piston eventually become so dry that it can't blow off smoothly? (we needs more lube)

 

You will probably have to relube it eventually.

 

Hm.. I guess it's too early to ask, but I'm sure someone will eventually have to take the whole thing apart and relube it. There's no way to evenly relube it using that tiny port...

 

the blow by oil will lube it for you.

 

Eewww...

Well, I've got an inline filter in that line anyway though, so.. probably not the best bet.

 

Mine stopped doing it after about a month.

 

Are you serious? Uhhhh... so did you have to relube it?

 

Over 30,000 miles with the APS - no problem. No need to re-lube.
