Anyone removed the PCV on the 1.8 FFV engine before?

Looks like the intake manifold will need to be removed to access it.

Wanted to remove and give it a clean as I hear these gunk up easily and impact the idle.

Get in touch if there is guide or tips for doing this.

Thank you

    I did my wife's (old) MK2.5 1.8 a few years ago and ended up removing the manifold. Some people reckopn that that can replace the PCV valve and hose by just loosening the manifold but unless you have hands the size of a 6 year old, I'm not sure how feasable it is.

     

    Removing the manifold is not technically difficult, it's moretedious than anything (lots of looms to unclip and some of bolts are hidden). I'd definitely recommend getting hold of a couple of images (front and back) of the manifold (ebay listings etc) and at least you can then see exactly where the bolts are.
