PCV System Description

Crankcase gases from the engine enter the separator (1) via the breather hose (4). Oil drains from the separator back to the sump through the drain hose (9) and pipe (14). Crankcase gases are drawn into the intake manifold through the breather hose (5) and PCV valve (17). An additional drain hose (12) runs from the lowest point of the PCV valve to the sump via the drain pipe (14). See Fig 1 .

None of the components in the breather system require servicing and the PCV valve is securely attached to the intake manifold.

All the hoses are securely fastened with clamps (8) and (9), and clips (6), (7) and (13).
