bazz54 Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 (edited) There are a number threads on US forums urging the periodic replacement of these valves, even though it is not in the Toyota schedule. The argument is that these valves clog, the PCV does not work properly and oil quality deteriorates more quickly. There are even suggestions that this is a factor in the Death Rattle issue. Apparently, an oem valve in the States is about $10 and a pattern part $5 ( link), but a Google search for UK parts came up with prices of up to £40! Has anyone replaced a Celica PCV, and if so, where did you buy and how much was it? Edited July 31, 2011 by bazz54 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bazz54 Posted August 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 Hi planc; would be interesting if you can find it; looks like it should be a couple of quid but ....??? Also looks like it should be easy to clean; it's just a one way valve but can get gummed up with oil vapour/dirt, hence some people using the little catch tanks. If it were stuck, 5 mins in some paraffin might well work. Being a pre-face lift owner, anything that helps keep oil sweet is of interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planc Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 The PCV valve at the back of the engine list cost is £19.67 + VAT and the part number is T12204-22051. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

planc Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 To check for opperation you can nip the rubber hose with pliers at idle, you should hear a metal ball tap noise. As for parraffin, may damage the internals? if it aint broke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chipper85 Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 Took about 10 seconds to fix a stuck PCV valve in my ST202 with Brake and clutch cleaner, a quick spray freed up the ball bearing almost immediately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
