Hi there,

The Puma is using a little bit too much oil at the mo', and I would like to check that the PCV Valve is not blocked.
Could anyone tell me exactly where it is located on the Zetec se 1.4 engine, and secondly - is it a threaded valve, or simply pull out removal job?

Thanks very much.

its just behind the idle speed control valve inside the inlet manifold's curve. its a push in valve in the top right hand corner of a black box bolted to the block by 7 bolts. sorry very difficult to describe but i've no pictures.

Thanks very much, that one is the only valve my b/f could see - it has black hose that connects via a 't' section to 2 inlets in the top of the inlet manifold. Was hoping that wasn't it because he says it looks v. difficult to get to and remove!
Thanks again.
