Although I haven't tried this yet, I have to say this is the most well explained tutorial I've ever seen. You did an excellent job explaining why you were doing what you were doing, and how you were doing it. You did an excellent job making sure we could see what you were referring to, and that it was in focus. I'm only nervous because I don't have a hose to replace if mine is rock solid, but now I know to look for that. I've never written a RUclips comment before, I just had to tell you great job, and thank you because I'm so confident to now go and replace the PCV.
Thank you for showing the removal, I could not get it and didn’t want to break something, no one shows fighting with a hose so I assumed I had the wrong placement. When I saw you tugging I knew it was right and I just had to pry it out by all means. Finally pulled out with a snap on plastic fastener remover. 10 out of 10 recommended.
This is the exact tutorial I’ve been looking for in past 3 days. I’m gonna change the hose and PCV valve on my 2011 Forester by tomorrow and hope this would resolve the oil consumption problem. It’s 1Q per 550 km and by the symptoms I’m experiencing, Hopefully it’s only the PCV valve not the piston O rings.
My 2013 Outback 2.5 was burning a quart every 1400 miles. I read that swapping in a new PCV valve might help. So I did it. Amazingly, it has helped hugely -- it's up to 3000 miles per quart now. I believe OE spec is 5000 miles but still, that's pretty good given that the car has a fair amount of mileage. WHAT A HUGE PAIN to reach the pcv valve ... but only takes 2 minutes to swap in a new one once you do.
I took mine out and cleaned it for now. Brake cleaner and a pipe cleaner style soft wire brush that fit inside. Seemed to make a difference immediately
just ordered one, I've already replaced my valve cover gasket because of leaks, if this is what caused it then thank you sir for saving me even more money in the long run
Thanks for the vid, nice stuff. The air box brace may have to come off as well (passenger/ right side), and yes the PCV valve will require some leverage, feels like taking off a tire lug.
Thanks, very helpful! Just replaced the PCV valve on my 2009 Impreza. Very similar process, but i was able to avoid disconnecting the bigger air duct. Also, I realized after starting to unhook things that I didn't have a 19mm socket long enough to accommodate the tip of the valve, then discovered it was actually possible to reach in there from the side with the box end of a combination wrench. Only enough room for a 1/12 turn at a time, but it was enough. Cheers
Thank you! for a very detailed explanation. I have been sitting on the PCV value I ordered an year ago (8/19), because none of the videos available at that time explained how to take off all the other stuff in the way.
You're the best. Please make some more videos on the 4th gen maxima. Doesn't matter what they are because I'm sure I'll be using them at some point again.
I didn’t remove anything except the spark plug cables and shoved the socket right down in there. Use a magnetic socket or a grommet socket with the rubber inside. Changed mine in less than 5 mins
Just did my 2007 Forester. I removed the air box and one of the brackets. I also unbolted the coil to move it out of the way. I bought the factory hose and valve.
Got an oil change 3k miles ago, had a oil pressure light turn on when breaking and found out it only had a half quart left, hopefully those helps with that
Ver very good click primo I get the process like you did in video on my 2.5i impreza so helper this thanks a lots for the info!!👏🏽👏🏽and I see this colder out side with that wind 🥶🥶👏🏽👏🏽✨✨
You forgot to use teflon tape on the threads of the PCV valve. I noticed you old one did have the tape on it and I've heard others say this is important.
How in the world did you get the hose off. It holds with a death grip. I can't get it with all my force and I literally climbed onto my car to get deadlift levering.
Ok guy I watched the vido til the end. I have a question: Whem the PCV valve is closed? Whem ther's no vacun in maninfold ? right! But, if the engine is runing idle, there is a vacun in the manifold and it is over the AICV. Only by this place the air can intake. May be the spring regulater into the PCV valve that mantain closed it ? I would like you talk about a little mor PCV valve closed. On the video I'v read PCV, PCB acronym. ? Thanks.
You didn't mention why you want to change the PCV valve? This way people will know why they should change it when they encounter similar problem. Your videos are great! Keep up the good work!
What is the hose with the electrical connector that you removed? My subaru is missing it, but the connector and port for the hose is there. Looks like someone removed it at one point and I can't get anyone to give me a straight answer lmao
you have replaced the PCV hose as well. Do you have a number or link for it? Carinfo says it is part number 11815AB830 but it looks different from the original in my car.
Yep , I replaced PCV on a 2001 maxima which was leaking/ Burning like 2qts every 3k. After PVC valve replacement it’s down to maybe 3/4 qrt every 3k. And it happens to run smoother and shifts better now. Just so happens I have also a 2007 odyssey high oil consumption, no leaks . I suspect it’s the PVC. So for $7 part going to change it part ordered , eBay Gr8 vid.
That piece that the PCV valve is connected to is also turning too. Its like my PCV valve is too tight. How do i remove it without taking out that connected piece?
If u have a 2010 with a 2.5l engine (why on earth a 2.5l engine from a diff car but same brand n same engine basically would be built so differently is beyond me) but anyway, if u have 2010 outback 2.5l this is nit the location n its a plastic pcv valve n when u order one, it'll be black n red. It will not be threaded into the block, it will be between hoses off the manifold. Very easy to change actually and makes you wonder why we outback owners got a better engine deal lol. Also, i did the plugs, n despite anything you read, on the drivers side, you need to remove absolutely nothing. No battery, no nothing. Not one thing. Both plugs are completely accessible by taking ur time and good placement of ur hands. The driver side you need to remove the big fat air box hose which is 2 clamps n thats out of ur way n loosen the airbox. U do not need to remove the airbox. If anyone lives in north east pa n wants it done for free (because its literally that easy) reply to this pick up the plugs n stop over. One thing to note, these were some of the worst plugs to remove. They were def sested in there. Another good thing about changing ur own plugs is u can get an excellent idea of how ur vehicle is running and more importantly with a Subaru if the valve cover gaskets are deteriorating because it will show oil generally on plugs 3 n 4 when it starts n then the rest at some point obv. This is something should be done every 50k max imo because they are cheap n they get gunked up. (If ur too cheap to replace them, then at least pulling them n checking them n then cleaning em before replacing them. My car has 104k, thats when i got it n i changed those pl lugs cleaned the maf sensor and filters oil, diff fluids, all the things u need to do everytime u buy a used vehicle with over 50k because u never trust the person before u, esp because if they did the services prior to selling u think they gave a shit about whats in there or if the work was done properly, ofcourse not.
Is there another maintenance you should do before doing this? Like a oil change or a cleaning in something else? I usually try to fix simple things on my Subaru before I take it to the mechanic but I don’t know what things relate to some problems or what other things I should swap out before I do something.
Next time get the assy from the dealer-comes with hoses. Never trust amazon engine parts. I got a pic valve from then last year that held crank case pressure slightly. I had never had a leak, but after the Amazon valve it started leaking. Put in a quality part and the leak stopped.
Luckily my 14 forester has a load of space for reaching to the hose, here comes the kick to the butt though, the hose is stubbornly stuck, will cutting it with a blade work?

Did the PCV valve replacement fixed the problem? I am having the same problem with my 06' Impreza 2.5i.

Our 2014 forester with 91,000 miles is using a qt of oil in 250 miles. am hoping new pcv valve will fix it.
@@tomarmstrong4156did it work?
Thanks Very informative and helpful. Adding a little anti seize to the threads make removal in the future a lot easier.

this really is the most complete video of this.
Very short and concise video. Exactly what I needed! Thanks for making.
Love his channel I've had 2 cars at this point he's helped with. And he he shows decent angles/walkthrough

Does it make a loud noise if it is not working? In your car did he have any noise before you replace the pcv?

Thanks for your detailed info-clip which will help me with my 2010 Forester sooner or later.
Dude thank you so much for this video, and suffering in the cold and wind to make it!!
I didn’t remove anything except the spark plug cables and shoved the socket right down in there. Use a magnetic socket or a grommet socket with the rubber inside. Changed mine in less than 5 mins
Awesome - made the job easy
Just did my 2007 Forester. I removed the air box and one of the brackets. I also unbolted the coil to move it out of the way. I bought the factory hose and valve.
Where did you purchase the hose,
Got an oil change 3k miles ago, had a oil pressure light turn on when breaking and found out it only had a half quart left, hopefully those helps with that

i have the exact car with only 186.... miles... i am going to replace what you just did on mine. Thanks.
How in the world did you get the hose off. It holds with a death grip. I can't get it with all my force and I literally climbed onto my car to get deadlift levering.
Plus the hose made out of not rubber but plastic, that is why it is that hard, perhaps is on purpose such material is used for it.
our 2018 Legacy 2.5L air box is diff. design. I may have to take off the whole box and not just that round tubing part.
Thanks!
I did same on 07 Forester, about the same.
EJ255 turbo, Outback 2004 the same PCV or another? USA assembly.
Ok guy I watched the vido til the end. I have a question:

Thank you. I mention in the first few moments: oil consumption, surging, stalling and hesitation.
Thanks bud, easy to follow. 🤘
are they not two of them located to the engine area ??
Would you say this makes a difference on gas mileage?
What is the plastic t piece attached to the alibis called? I need to replace mine but can’t find it
What is the hose with the electrical connector that you removed? My subaru is missing it, but the connector and port for the hose is there. Looks like someone removed it at one point and I can't get anyone to give me a straight answer lmao

Can a bad PVC valve cause your spark wire to pop off?
Did the pcv Does it make a loud noise like tik tik tik if it is not working?
Would this be the same process on the Crosstrek 2.5L engine?
Did you use fuel line hose or vacuum hose for the PCV Valve hose?
Yep , I replaced PCV on a 2001 maxima which was leaking/ Burning like 2qts every 3k.
After PVC valve replacement it’s down to maybe 3/4 qrt every 3k. And it happens to run smoother and shifts better now.
Just so happens I have also a 2007 odyssey high oil consumption, no leaks . I suspect it’s the PVC.
So for $7 part going to change it
part ordered , eBay

Price changed per location , mine was $36 from Subaru dealer parts

Can we just clean the old valve?

Great video. I want to replace the hose too. But couldn’t find it. Is there any information you could provide is so appreciate.
Just visit the local part store. It will cost you less than $2. Cheers.

Nice video, thank you. What was the name of the hose you replaced?
Hose vacuum. The number part for the crosstrek 17 is 99071AD690
Wat is the valve on the other end of the hose?
That piece that the PCV valve is connected to is also turning too. Its like my PCV valve is too tight. How do i remove it without taking out that connected piece?
Did you find a solution to that? I got the same problem going on
Yes I did. The mechanic used a 24 spanner and hold the bottom piece in place and the another spanner removed the PCV valve.
Thank you
If its 2022 outback it will be a 22mm FYI for anyone watching this more recently.
If u have a 2010 with a 2.5l engine (why on earth a 2.5l engine from a diff car but same brand n same engine basically would be built so differently is beyond me) but anyway, if u have 2010 outback 2.5l this is nit the location n its a plastic pcv valve n when u order one, it'll be black n red.

Both plugs are completely accessible by taking ur time and good placement of ur hands. The driver side you need to remove the big fat air box hose which is 2 clamps n thats out of ur way n loosen the airbox. U do not need to remove the airbox.

Another good thing about changing ur own plugs is u can get an excellent idea of how ur vehicle is running and more importantly with a Subaru if the valve cover gaskets are deteriorating because it will show oil generally on plugs 3 n 4 when it starts n then the rest at some point obv.
This is something should be done every 50k max imo because they are cheap n they get gunked up. (If ur too cheap to replace them, then at least pulling them n checking them n then cleaning em before replacing them.

Well done
i used brake cleaner and spray inside to clean the gunk. save money :)
It’s only a $15 part, not a bad idea to just replace it.
Is the engine the same in a 2015 Subaru Outback ???
Very similar and same displacement. (2.5l)
Are the ignition wires numbered because there different from each other or numbered because of the length of them?
They correspond to the specific cylinder. It has nothing to do with length. Most vehicle in 2010 have plug in coil packs. But not this Subaru..
Yes length.
I cannot get it out, I move the whole thing, with what is under the valve, valve is like fused to the bottom of it.
Were you able to get it off? I'm having the same problem
I have the same problem! Did you guys figured it out?
Great video as usual thanks 👍
Thank you. Happy to help.
dealer sells these for about 18 bucks
Do you use OEM Subaru oil filters on your Impreza?
There's two different colors Black/Blue. Black was made in Japan. Blue was made here (or so I heard)
Helped me. Thank you.
Yours came off quite easily...my pcv valve is on so tight
Mine too. The bottom silver piece spins when I try to unscrew the pcv valve

You can get OEM pvc from Amazon
Can bad pcv cause u to leak oil
Yes. Frozen closed, it can cause seals to leak or blow out. Frozen closed, it can cause excessive oil burning
pcv valves for dummies lol
Do you have a torque spec?
Luckily my 14 forester has a load of space for reaching to the hose, here comes the kick to the butt though, the hose is stubbornly stuck, will cutting it with a blade work?
Great video! Did you take your web site down?
