Posidrive Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Before trotting off to get my oil consumption/smoking investigated by a pro I thought I'd clutch at straws and check the PCV valve. Is this a DIY job, how long should it take. Can you get to it from the engine bay? If the PCV valve is knackered where is the best place to get a replacement. The Nissan dealer near where I work has a bit of a reputation so I'd like to avoid if possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is located in the cam cover on the top of the engine and is easily reached and is a DIY and will only take a few minutes.
