PCV preventive maintenance yes or no

Well, 2 more here with a cracked sleeve. This is Canho from Almería:

We put tape on it until tomorrow when he goes to the dealership to get it.

I had looked at mine and didn’t see anything, but it turns out it was cracked underneath and not on top like his.

I have a question, I changed the hose before it was broken, as a preventive measure, you know, what happens when it is broken? Like, is there anything different in the car’s performance, does it throw an error or what happens?

The colleague didn’t have any issues, and the car was running fine. His hose is one of the thin ones; when starting, the hose would shrink and get crushed where the crack is (clue 1), but covering it with electrical tape kept its shape. My hose is thicker, and when starting, it didn’t get crushed where the crack is. So, depending on which hose you have installed, it will either get crushed or not if it’s cracked…

I have ignition errors, but I still don’t know if they are due to the hose or not. When I change the hose, I’ll see if they go away or not.

If the spark plug thread has oil (clue 2) like in my case, it could be due to the PCV valve, which is why I decided to check the hose and the valve.

Another one here with the cracked tube

I’ll order it tomorrow at Honda For now, I’ve put electrical tape on it like Flavio

I already changed the tube; pulling it out is really tough, it’s better to lever it with a plastic tool, pull out as much as you can, and then keep pulling it.

What a difference in sections

Morrillu: now you have it bigger…

After seeing how they remove it, I bought a tool for when it arises and to take it easy

Haha, fuck just for that?

The next sleeve I have to remove won’t resist anymore :joy: in the end, tinkering around, I’ll find some use for it.

Going all out?

No, with a tool like the one I mentioned, a pair of pliers with a grip to grab the tube and pull it out in a blink.

Is it from AliExpress? I saw one just like it, I would get it for 2€, but it might bend on the first use :poop:

I got it on Amazon but well, it will be made by the same Chinese manufacturer.

I almost got it right, I thought about removing it with this staple remover, which I ordered at the time. Or also with the one that’s not pliers, but in the end, it’s about leveraging like with plastic tools.

Morrillu: let’s see if I change the valveeeeeee, I bought it first and I’m going to be the last one

Another “lucky one” here with the little cut

Changed in a jiffy. For the tube, using one of the plastic tools to pry and pull the tube (without fear, after all, IT WASN’T GOING TO BREAK ANYMORE), it comes out without problems. And to fit it, despite being of a larger section, neither.

Morrillu: remember to insert it all the way…

Reading the thread, all of you who have had it break or crack are 1.5, right? It would be the first failure exclusive to your engine type.

I see a message full of irony and resentment…

Morrillu: and I also say that if you want this, all yours :face_with_hand_over_mouth:

Completely :rofl: I told you it was better to buy the 1.0 :rofl:

I have been looking for a tutorial to replace the PCV of the 1.0 and I can’t find anything. For now, I have located the code of what I believe is the valve: 11856-5AY-H01
