    How to change or check pcv valve

    Quick and easy.


    Please excuse me as I didn't use the proper tools.

    I used an adjustable crecent wrench to remove and a 24mm socket to install.


    First unclip your air filter box

    Pull the air filter box carefully and gently to the front of the car, it should be able to pull away and hook onto the intake manifold, if unable to do this just use a strap or bungy cord to hold the front of the box towards the front of the car.

    You will see a house that travels to the front of the valve cover, it's attached to a bolt that goes into the valve cover. Remove the hose carefully by rotating it both ways slightly and pulling away, it should slide off.

    I believe it's a 23mm size but not positive, if you don't have a 23 you can try to carefully use a crecent wrench, it is all plastic so be very careful removing it.

    If installing a new one, dab some oil on the o ring, you can use your dip stick for oil.

    Install like its glass. I used a 24mm socket and tightened with my fingers, no ratchet.

    Check air filter (mines at 69k and original and clean, so is my pcv)

    Re install air filter box cover and 2 clamps


    After seeing how fragile the pcv I think I'll be adding it to my 100k replacement list.

    As for checking a pcv valve, wiggle it to listen for a rattle. Spray it out and clean it. Should be clean and free of any sludge build up
