Removal of the PCV Valve connector on a VE V6 2008 LEO Engine

[VFSV6FORME]

I got the valve off. Surprisly it blocked only about 70% and can still blow through it. yes I had the smaller holes

Pull the little tab back then up push down on the pcv hose then lift off. View attachment 204497

Finally all done and thank you for the Member DAJOKER for the Video, Mattricho for the pic otherwise it would be impossible to work out how to remove the Elbow and other. I had too spray the PCV Valve with WD 40 and it was tight in the rocker cover to get out. Also for ease to remove the PCV itself I removed the last coil pack firing lead as it was in the way + strapped back that annoying heater hose and when I done this I gave me room to work. Whilst I was there I notice both of heater hoses had rub marks and to protected them I used some thick duck tape that I run around.
Now Google will get this and other member or new member will able to search how to remove that damm PCV Valve

Hi, where did you buy replacement pcv valves for both sides?

 

[Fu Manchu]

There’s only one. It’s on the drivers side. No need to replace it. Just clean it and drill it out. Then clean it again to get the swath out.
Push back in.

Yes clean it and if not drilled out drill it first with the correct sizes (could be wrong CHECK for correct sizes to drill but I think is 5/32 the other hole is 7/32. After drilling or already drill CLEAN IT, I used a Compressed air and petrol to clean.

I managed to snap my hose fitting as it was brittle when pulling it off.

Fortunately a local ex-Holden dealer is selling spares on eBay, so managed to pick up a replacement for $22.

My valve was still clear, but had the small holes so I still drilled and cleaned.

No shortage of people that are dubious about the Alloytec PCV system.
I think Holden specify a pipe cleaner to be used to clean it. (please correct me if I'm wrong on that)
What if we put an AN fitting and hose leading to a VP or VN PCV and then through a catch can system?

Yes, the Valve covers would have to come off, but surely this is worth while and then you could have a replaceable/cleanable PCV and more effective ventilation.

When I removed my chains, I seen the Cam Covers were full of _____,
I cleaned them the best I could, as the PO was a bit lax on servicing.
Did the mod, replaced the Complete PCV hose unit,
the rest is history.

I am very new to cars and can’t manage to remove the coil pack firing lead as it feels impossible to get to the pcv properly with it in the way

Managed to get it disconnected and the PCV out, was not a pretty job though
