PCV VALVE REPLACEMENT/throttle bottle clean on IS250

[Guest bigbullhead]

Looking at items to service change and a lot of boys with BMW’s change the PCV Valve  on high mileage cars anyone done this? Also throttle body is another that may require a clean?

[Mr Vlad]

Hi Mat. Yes there's a few videos on YouTube on how to change the PCV valve. Looks easy but you need a 19mm I think spanner with a 90 degree bend in it. I tried to do mine but the hose to it seemed stuck to it so I've left it for now. As for throttle body I totally recommend it and the MAF sensor too. I posted a thread on it so maybe look it up.

Cheers for the advice 👍got 145000 on clock so maybe due a clean

Anybody got a link for purchase I am struggling a bit finding a PCV valve

I changed mine last year.

Your safest bet is to get it from a dealer - the part number for mine was 12204-31040.

I imagine yours would use the same part number.

It was not expensive and you are assured that you are getting the correct part.

I got mine from Lexus online shop.

I used CRC Carb cleaner for the throttle body and CRC MAF cleaner both excellent products

I would second Vlad's recommendation for the CRC products. I have found them great to use even if a little difficult to find.

[Mr Vlad]

Difficult to find? I found them straight away on eBay and acceptable prices and quick delivery. 

[Beamish]

I'm in Ireland and some eBay suppliers are not keen on supplying to ROI or if they do the cost of delivery can be excessive.

Got mine in Japan via eBay as a lot of seller in The US were expensive shipping I payed 23 pounds delivered hopefully no duty 

[Mr Vlad]

My supplier called Gear Max in Glasgow. I'm not converse with delivery charges to Ireland or anywhere else for that matter but from Glasgow to Ireland I can't believe there are high postage charges. Mine cost under £15.

GearMax's extra charge for delivery to Ireland on one 500ml can is £12.99.  -  delivery is free in the UK
