G'day is this the correct PCV valve for the series 1 Au Lane?
http://www.supercheapauto.com.au/onl...pid=7531#Cross I found the manufacturer's website and it has the PCV-008 listed as the compatible unit for the AU but it completely different to what is in the car as it has 2 plugs for hoses |

BTW, that's a metal unit. You need a plastic unit. The metal units have been found by a few here to result in higher oil consumption, as the spring inside the valve is lighter than stock. Cheers, GK

Just remember if you buy the correct plastic one you will need to also to get the black angle piece that goes on top.

Yep, those metal PCV's sucked about 100mls of oil out of my motor every 1000km's

Could I suggest you go to a proper spare parts place, and not the K-Mart for Cars.

When I first bought one from Ford, many moons ago, the black piece was included in the $10 or so price. Last year IIRC, I went to Ford to get a newie, which was $15 or so, plus another $12 or so for the black piece. Didn't buy it! GK

Wish I had read this thread BEFORE I just put in a metal PCV valve, thinking it MUST be better than the faulty plastic one I had :(
Also wanted to note, the new PCV valve has immediately fixed my running rich problem on an AU3 VCT motor I had recently installed. I also suspect it will resolve another nagging problem, where sometimes, on a cold morning, if I had parked uphill overnight, I leave a trail of oily smoke behind me from the exhaust. As if the rings were badly worn. But the compression is very good. And it only happens sometimes under the noted conditions. PS - yes...I know it is a thread mine But adding the little bit of useful knowledge I accumulate to existing threads, seems to be the best way I can compliment this excellent body of knowledge, which I call on almost daily (apologies again for not contributing much...once I finally get back to just 2x AU falcons...I will hopefully have some free time to do so more) |
