Hello. I took my 2013 in for routine 55k checkup and the service guy told me that the pcv valve is bad and needs to be changed. How hard is it to change it myself? Where is it located? Does any one have directions on how to? TIA.

Isn't this covered under warranty?

It's on the firewall side of the engine if it's the same as the 2.5 AR engine in the 4.3.

I can't remember the last time I saw a PCV valve go bad, it is a glorified check valve .

I would argue that it is part of the emission system and covered for 8/80 under Federal law.

Then tell him you want to see the old part before they trash it it r send it back to Toyota.... verify the part number.

Then find a new service department.

PCV was just suggested for replacement

They only suggested that we replace it. Does anyone know where I can get the repair manual for the 2013? All of the manual I see are for 1996-2012.
