PCV Valve Replacement
Hey guys. So the other day I was reading around about regular maintenance and I realized I never had the PCV valve looked at.
I pulled off the hose and immediately noticed oil on the end of the tip. After taking the valve off, I noticed the inside pretty dark, which is normal. However, the metal sliding mechanism did not sound good. The replacement PCV I received from Toyota clicked rapidly if you shook it, while the old one clicked only once or twice, so it seemed pretty gunked up. I'm sure those of you with an oil catch fair better, but I am at 160,000km without one so this was a good investment. The idle also seems to be better, not sure if it is placebo but I swear it's smooth as butter now and not jumping from 500-800rpm. BTW it cost me $18 CAD at the dealer ... rip off and a half if you ask me, but I wanted a genuine part. |
