Title: PCV Valve location
Post by: Edd on 29 November 2009, 17:15:17

Hi can anyone tell me the location of these and how to get to them. Are they serviciable or just need to be replaces. I am getting alot of smoke on journeys coming from a small leak on the top of the engine and was told to check these.

This is on a 2.6 V6 engine 2002

Thanks in advance

Edd

Smoke on these engines is typically caused by blocked crankcase breathers causing the gaskets to fail on the cam covers which then allows oil to drip onto the exhaust manifolds.

Can't make up my mind what PCV stands for. If it is 'positive crankcase ventilation' then we are referring to the same thing.
