PCV Valve Replacement

[Sack13]

Good evening all.

After around a 2 year hiatus from the forum, I'm back and delving under the bonnet once again!

I'm looking to replace the PCV valve on my MK2 1.6 TDCI, which I believe is the culprit of the river of oil slowly forming in my air intake hoses leading to the turbo. The Haynes manual makes no mention of the valve even being present in my vehicle and I can find no signs of guides or explanation on the web suggesting how to remove it.

How do I remove and replace the valve? Is it a simple twist off the cap and pull out the valve? In the image below you can see the breather hose exiting the PCV at the right of the engine, atop the oil separator to the right of the oil filling cap.

 

Any tips would be greatly appreciated,
