Damn - PTU puking again thru the vent...
- Thread starter MileHighV
- Start date
It is possible that the lower atmospheric has an effect. I have recently moved to Tennessee (last month), so maybe the problems will go away.
I have also asked that they install the longer vent line, although I am not sure that they will.
I will report back later today, if they get it done today (hopefully).

Sorry for the late reply - busy week/weekend.
Car is back with a new PTU (#3!!) - I have been just doing normal driving (bone stock) this last week and it seems to be running well (hard shifts/touchy throttle response, but I am assuming that they flashed CPU). Seemed to improve through the week.
They did NOT run the longer PTU vent line, even though the service writer said that they were going to.
It this hard to do by yourself? ETA: Found the How-to for the extended vent line - will crawl under to see how difficult this is.
I finally got under it to convert back to tuned, and things looked fairly good, aside from the not great cleanup underneath. Changed back to the PPE downpipes, and will be updating the tune to version 10 tomorrow (had version 8 ). I thought I was gonna snap the flange bolts after getting it back from the dealer - I used Anti-sieze on 'em when I put the PPE's back on. Hopefully better next time!
I am really looking forward to finally getting to use the 93 octane tune (CO only had 91 octane due to elevation).
*Fingers crossed that this PTU will last* - Definitely changing fluid more often!
Plan to change fluid in the RDU soon, too!

too bad they did not run the longer vent, I'd go back and remind them, gently. No idea on installation difficulty.
Lattyd,
In your how-to, you show a small mushroom shaped piece with a cross on top - Is that the vent for '11s?
Mine ('13) has a vent tube, but it is only long enough to get to ~ halfway up the block.
You can see the light shining off of the cap in the center of this pic. Kinda blurry...
That's peering down between the hoses on the top of the engine to the left of the brake reservoir.
ETA: Has anyone modified the mid-vent (what I seem to have) to the longer vent tied to the brake reservoir? Can I essentially just change out the hose? Worth it?

Yeah, that little cap with the cross on it was the vent on my 11, the updated one I installed comes all the way up to the brake reservoir.
I'm not sure if there is any benefit vs your set up though since the cap on yours looks like the updated one I have.
