Ford Duratec PCV Valve Replacement

This video was done on a 2006 Ford Focus 2.0 but this process works for any ford 2003-2009 with the duratec engine. There’s some tricks mentioned for the 2.3 used in Ford SUV’s.

Hi from Scotland, thank you for the informative video, I've a 1.8 with a bit of a thirst for oil. I'm going to proceed with doing what you've done in the hope that the oil consumption will reduce somewhat, may I ask why you did this procedure?

Well hello!!! I did this procedure because Ford service says that the PCV valve must be changed every 100,000 miles in order for the vehicle to comply with US emissions regulations because the PCV valve will build up with oil and carbon and will stop working and that will cause engine issues such as unusual oil consumption and higher tailpipe emissions. I hope this helps you out! Please come back and let me know!

@@ranger.auto.repair Hi and thanks for your reply, my car was poorly maintained and is on 140k miles, it still pulls well so I don't think it's the piston rings but I imagine a faulty pcv valve will play havoc with the crankcase pressure and possibly force oil under pressure UP past the piston rings to be burnt.
