pcv system
hi all..
my d5's just hit 170k and i was wondering if it would hurt to clean the pcv system out? @sirobb, is the pcv problematic, or am i just better off waiting until it clogs up completely ? Al. |

Never heard of a D5 pcv needing attention so I'd be leaving well alone unless you have a specific and definite pcv problem.

I have a 2007 XC90 D5 170K Miles, consuming oil, thinking it may be the PCV system, just at the stage of researching now, have found a few good online threads for other models but not mine. Has any one changed / cleaned the PCV system ? thx |

Inspecting the system for defects if you are suffering unexplained high oil consumption might be a (messy!)option |

How long have you had yours, have you tried anything else? There are lots of other stories here of cars of that age/engine/mileage that have serious oil consumption issues due to worn piston rings. |

Thanks for the replies folks,
Thinking about the PCV as car has new DPF, New EGR, New Tappets, New Injectors!! £$£$£aaaaauuuughh! but still using too much oil. 2007 XC90 D5 AWD 171k miles Have noticed another thread has started on same / related subject, will read. Will update if I get to inspect/clean/change PCV system parts |
