Wow Ali, The best camera angles I've seen for this kind of job where it's hard to actually see while working!

[@AliMECH]

Thanks Ahmed , placing camera angle took me more than time than the pcv valve lol

[@hmongflyer]

GREAT VIDEO! After 5 year owning a 2014 camry. I finally have the time to replace pcv vavle. First time doing was not easy for me if you don't have the correct tools and super tight area.

[@AliMECH]

Yes, it needs correct size tools, but when you have it, it's not that hard, thanks for watching

[@bobbyyounger7632]

Great video as usual ! first time seeing a PCV valve placed in this location. You always make it look easy and also amazing is what good condition your hands are in to be working on vehicles, not cut and banged up.

[@AliMECH]

Thanks Bobby, im glad it looks easy, because mechanics always making the jobs so difficult i didnt take care my hands before, but now whenever im using cutting tool or chemicals, i wear gloves

[@xmachine7003]

@@AliMECH Good choices.

[@xmachine7003]

Ecellent Ali. Thank you. More garbage come out of the valve,even after you used the carb cleaner before. The electronic cleaner really adds to the cleaning. Appreciated you doing this video.

[@AliMECH]

Thanks, yes Great point! im really impressed with ultrasonic cleaner

[@xmachine7003]

@@AliMECH This may even prompt me to go buy 1 myself. I can use it for multiple applications.

[@dannysautorepair]

Great video but I'd replace it because they are not expensive

Ali, can you please make another video on how to clean or replace the EGR valve for the 2017 Camry SE? Thank you and much appreciated.

[@jl1621]

Hard work New toyota PCV had design at top Very easy to clean it

[@AliMECH]

Yes, you are right

[@headers12]

Did you get a fault code or just doing maintenance cleaning? Are there any particular or common issues you have seeing with this model of Camry (15-17)?

[@AliMECH]

No, its all good, some of my subscribers asked me to show where is the pcv valve, i never had any issue with it or any other parts, its a good car

[@digitalcamaraderie5685]

Don't replace until som3 code. Thank you for sharing video though In case need to change valve

[@richardsuggs8108]

Thanks for the video. Question is the PCV valve in the same location on the six cylinder engine?

[@ahmadkamali8547]

Dear you did a hard job .. That's much hard to reach for just cleaning/replacing a PCV valve only.. That's because the branded quality has gone. What a silly engineering Mostly with a cheep compacts imported fittings now a days all are compact random

[@AliMECH]

Thanks Ahmad, totally agree with you

[@MrRedHotChiliMan]

@@AliMECH yeah but that 2017 Camry is a good car!!

[@Eli_is_a_Lauver]

Question this is the same location for 2012 camry se v6?? I hope you can answer!!!

[@Eli_is_a_Lauver]

Wow men 👏 that is the best video I saw. Excellent work 👏 👍.

[@lmc7825]

Hi sir Ali,,,, I have Camry V6 2012 2grfe engine.. I have DTC on lost communication with YAW RATE SENSOR... where I can find it? Thanks

[@brotherkossi]

@AliMECH Alimech, your hose is coming out smooth. Mine is not budging. Really stuck tight there. Maybe too much pressure was trapped inside due to bad pcv. My crankase oil cap is also hard to lose by hand. Always need a tool to lose it. It probably due to pressure in the crankcase as well. Both might be related to bad pcv valve. I did notice oil on the hose from the pcv valve. That valve is most likely bad Anyway, I was thinking that I need a plier that could lose those clamps to be able to pull the hose successfully . Still looking for one that'll fit that space (my hands can't get in there, so it's quite a challenge). I have a 2016 SE, by the way. I assume the configuration should be the same

[@san1eong]

If you go with all the way to remove the pcv valve, it’s better to replace with a new one. The part cost less than $20. Why take a chance of using a faulty valve or a valve that is starting to wear off after 7 or more years of use.

[@marcoherrea7101]

Exactly 😂😂😂

[@gustavovillanueva6251]

You make it look easy

[@AliMECH]

Thanks, hope it will be easy for everyone

[@greenbean9504]

I am having difficulty getting the PCV back in. I get it started and within a couple of turns it binds - cross thread? How do you get the valve to seat properly?

[@mrl3044]

Great vid not sure why I watched the whole thing becuase I own a Chevy with a pvc assembly hose on top of the engine but now I know where the valve is on a newer camery probaly will never be relevant to know for me but now I know

My 11 Camry LE has a pump right where your thumb is at 0:54 soo I guess either pump or intake manifold needs to be removed

Thanks 🙏

[@user-ts7gr8vq6p]

ℹ️✅ Do you think it’s possible to clean up dirty PCV valve ( not damaged) without removing from the engine? Maybe it’s good idea to disconnect PCV hose from engine head and spray inside carburetor cleaner ( or small amount of kerosene), wait few hours and start engine after. Vacuum inside engine head will remove all dissolved slag from PCV hose. It’s just a question.

[@AliMECH]

No, not a good idea, it will drip on the engine

[@billdurham8477]

Use charcoal lighter fluid, way less $$$$ than Seafoam. The spring loses tension by 100K/160Km, just replace it. If you are going to change your oil too, you send a healthy spray of carb cleaner down the PCV hose from the top and let that soak overnight for maintenance.

[@frankmontez6853]

Are you a mechanic or DIY ? A mechanic told me there are signs that your pcv valve is bad like high idling , oil leaks and air leaks . Are these signs a fool proof sure way to tell if pcv valve is bad ? I've got oil leaks btt not the other signs . Major pain to replace mine . I've got to take off imtake manifol and a few other things or pay a shop 11 Camry 2ARFE 2.5 L , PCV is right be intake manifol and HYDRAULIC POWEER STEERING PUMP

[@Stan6053]

Can i use brake cleaner?

[@AliMECH]

yes

[@Equilibrium29]

Question, anyone who knows... I bought a new PCV. I blew into one side horizontally (the way it is installed on my engine) and it had an air leak. Vertically, there was no air leak. I returned it and got another one, but the same issue? Maybe my lungs are not as strong as an engine! What do I do? Order another one? On my engine (toyota) it is a difficult R&R.

[@edwardanthony7283]

What kind of location is that?

[@AliMECH]

i have no idea, why they put it there

There was no need for Toyota to put the pcv valve there.🤦🏻

[@AliMECH]

That's right ✅️

[@Rvindel]

Just for them to get money from us, labor at the dealership is $500+.. 🙄🙄🙄

[@zillsburyy1]

how long do they last?

[@AliMECH]

I think for long time, they are metal not plastic

[@fenix0green]

Like 9 bucks for pcv valve at Toyota. Id replace it

[@Chitown388]

While the Toyota engineer stuck the PCV in a place that's so hard to service is a mystery. On my Lexus, the PCV valve is visible after the beauty cover is removed. It'd literally take me less than five minutes to unscrew the old one and screw in a new one. Since it's so easy to change and the PCV is so cheap ($7 @ Lexus), I simply replace it every two years regardless.

[@dannyn.3539]

The part is $10 from the dealer. Using seafom and other stuff might cost more money. Just saying. 😂

[@MrRedHotChiliMan]

I bet that would be a pain in the ass to put that back in if you have big hands! 😂😂

[@AliMECH]

😅😅😅

[@karkule5919]

Nah, just use the socket and extension to hand screw it back in.

they are cheap to buy and easy to replace and VERY expensive if not corrected. Use common sense and get a new one !

New PCV valve fell outta socket and now's lost between manifold and motor. #### Toyota.

[@Tadders]

Why is the PCV in such an awful location? Shame Toyota.

[@AliMECH]

I have no idea why they put it there

[@markhardy4457]

They want you to wear out your car and buy a new one, there's no money in selling a car that will last forever so they put stuff in locations where the common folk can't get to it easily.

[@ddk80]

I agree with you 100%. I would expect this on a German car but not on a Toyota.

[@jkgv1740]

Maybe they want people to have it serviced at the dealership.

[@rds151]

Don't clean replace it 😂
