Good to know,
always nice to know a quick cheap maintenance that helps
will do it myself shortly

 

I just changed my PCV valve a week ago just to change it but I took it out and it was heavier than the replacement and it did not shake inside at all like the new one did.

huh, makes you wonder if these things are prone to loading up with oil gunk and staying open creating a sort of vacuum leak. Thanks for the heads up, I may pop mine out and carb clean spray it some.

 

Having had a VW diesel and a diesel Liberty, I got in the habit of cleaning the pcv every time I changed the oil. Damn, I wish my wife hadn't flipped the Liberty upside-down!

 

Is it easy to change?? Just pull it off and put the new one on? Nothing else? Maybe jeep Used spacers like the RR lift kit to rise all the jeeps?

 

yep that easy.just pull off the hose (might need to get it unstuck with screwdriver) and unscrew the PCV valve.took literally 5 minutes

 

Thanks for the tip - I will do mine when the weather warms up.

 

where is the PCV hiding?

 

Just remove plastic engine cover and on your left (facing vehicle) on the top you will see a hose that connects to the top of the motor.Popped off the hose unscrewed the PCV valve and screw the new one back in tighten it just a 1/4 turn more with a wrench put hose back on TADAA your done.very easy

 

thanks. I'll put the pcv on the list for the next oilchange.

 

Changed my pcv today.

I was going to just clean it, but I'm a dumba** and forgot it was plastic when I was putting it back in. They snap quite easily so be carefull.

Luckily, my dealer had one in stock.


The carnage...
