You are in luck - not only are replacement PCV's for Mk5 GTI's cheap, but a local Sydney shop has them in stock
Pressure Control Valve (PCV) - Euro Revolution
I was driving home from Sydney and noticed my MFD flash a couple of times then the CEL lit up. I pulled over and checked all fluid levels and continued home. After about 20 Ka I noticed a high pitched whistle coming from the rear of the engine bay. I assumed that it could be the pcv valve. When I pulled the dipstick the whistle stopped and the idle was rough. I smoothed out when replaced and the whistle returned. If it is the pcv, is it an easy replacement and are they available aftermarket. Thanks in advance for any advice.

I replaced my PCV with a genuine part today and although it is running heaps better with no whistle , the cel is still on. Do I need to have this cleared with a scan tool or is there another way of doing it?

It will likely go away on its own after a few days. If not, then you will need to get a mechanic clear the code (even places like Supercheap Auto can clear codes these days).
