Models: Engines: Option:
Astra-J 2010...2011,Meriva-B 2010...2011 A14NEL| A14NET,A14NEL| A14NET Engine A14NEL/T
Complaint: Customer complain about too high oil consumption, different trouble codes from the turbocharger system (e.g. P0106, P1101, P0236, P0107) or oil leakage from valve cover near pressure regulation valve.
Cause: The mushroom valve in the intake manifold which prevents boost pressure from entering the blowby system has fallen off. This causes high pressure in the blowby system which could damage the valve cover pressure regulation valve.
Production: Improved intake manifold has been introduced into production as of January 2011.

Remedy:

In case of customer complaint, remove the blowby hose on the intake 
manifold and check if the mushroom valve is still in place. 

Check with aid of a torch if the red cone can be seen (pic. I, 1). 
If the red cone can not be seen, the intake manifold has to be 
replaced.
