XC90 04' 2.5T PCV Kit

bigal

Does someone feel like pointing me in the right direction for a reasonably priced but decent PCV Kit? I'm going to tackle this task this summer as mine is clogged (a latex glove over the oil filler hole stands straight up).

There appears to be 4 kits on FCPEuro for it and I'm sure I'll stuff it up and get the wrong one. I know RockAuto is cheap but would prefer to play safe and by a ready made kit.. feeling lazy.

My vehicle details if you don't know already:
XC90
2004
2.5T
Engine number 3413663

Here's what I'm looking at:

Thanks.

Cheapest option is uro parts via rockauto
The t5 xc90 was sold in the usa so the parts catalogs here are dead on

I think I might have to give RockAuto a go.

Using FCPEuro's kits as a check list.. Can you help out with some questions..

These are the common parts in the expensive kits from FCPEuro. I gather I need all these?

Qty Part SKU Price
1 Engine Intake Manifold Gasket VOL-9458534 $17.99
1 Crankcase Vent Hose VOL-30677388 $68.99
1 Crankcase Vent Hose VOL-8692217 $25.99
1 Crankcase Vent Hose VOL-8653339 $9.99
2 Hose Clamp VOL-976584 $3.29
2 Hose Clamp 976561 $0.59
1 Hose Clamp 978171 $0.59
2 Hose Clamp 977964 $2.99
1 PCV Valve Oil Trap VOL-8692211 $35.99
1 Hose Clamp VOL-978188 $3.99

These parts are not common to both kits. Which Hose do I need and should I grab the metal seal rings?

1 Engine Coolant Hose and Crankcase Breather Hose Assembly VOL-30650578 $175.99
1 Engine Coolant Hose and Crankcase Breather Hose Assembly VOL-30731068 $175.99
4 Metal Seal Ring / Washer ELR-110353 $0.59

throttle gasket,, and make sure your sump vent clean otherwise still show as blocked.
Then sump removal required with new seal kit and glue.
Make sure both nipples are 100 percent clear and valve cleaned correctly and should rattle also good to replace
pipe between two nipples

Who doesn't like cleaning out their tubes between two nipples?

uro stuff massively cheaper than that lot
Uro has a replacement design that replaces the oil trap to fresh air hose with one not including the coolant lines
You take the existing assembly you have, and cut off the breather parts of it (leaving the bits that flow coolant) and then just gently zip tie the the Uro bits to it for $42 (via rock auto)

Others have replaced some of the hoses with copper pipe insulated.
We there you want a day approach or not.

I've never once ever ever had to drop the sump to clean it out

Thank said
By doing this work you will drop some carbon flakes into the engine... as such... you should plan to change the oil after doing the PCV and before the car is started again
and then change the oil again after 500k (if the PCV was really really nasty)

Will be doing the PCV around Christmas time when there is less pressure to need my car. I can't be without my ride during the week leading up to Christmas so not going to take the chance. I need to get 1 or 2 days approval from the boss (the lady) first. You know how it is.

In my preparations for the job I came across this.. what do you guys think? Seems a quick and simple way of doing the task. I'm guessing it's probably only doing a certain percentage of the job though.

bigal

Yeah forget that.. going to do it properly.

That was painful to watch....
Only 5 seconds in.
