I noticed that my PCV hose is cracked at the PCV valve. Where can I buy a replacement? I searched the Auto Zone and Advance Auto Parts websites but they don't seem to have it. Should I go to the dealer?

 

Normally the dealerships are the only ones that carry hoses for most cars. When you go there ask for a Loyal customer discount. I get one and the prices are always exactly what they pay. I don't even pay for their S&H charges.

Good Luck,

I went to my local nissan stealership asking for a pcv valve for my '99. Get this, the parts guy tells me they don't carry it and he's never sold one the entire time he's worked there.

Is this guy on crack or what.

 

it might not be crack but something close to it. He's definetly a newbie. You can get an aftermarket PCV, that really won't make a difference. You'll prolly just have to change it a little quicker then the OEM.

 

Had the same problem. I checked many stores, but only the dealership had it. You might get a universal hose to fit but it might not be strong enough to with stand the pressure. I payed about 15 bucks for it at the dealership.

 

Thanks. I have already been to one dealer and they had neither the PCV valve nor the hose. Go figure. I'll go to another one. I couldn't even find the hose anywhere on the Internet.

 

Check at a local junk yard

 

can you just buy a fuel line type hose and do ur own?

 

That’s typically what I do when hoses like that go out/crack/die etc.

 

sup guys, i kno dis thread is old but i tried replacin my pcv valve jus now. Wow i was jus fightin wit that hose. I loosen both clamps but the hose would not budge. DO u guys squeeze the old pcv valve to pull it out or the other side. I tried taken out the back of the hose and it would not come off.

 

^^ Follow the hose back several inches. there should be a metal bracket holding it down to the upper IM. remove the bolt(s) holding that down and you should then have enough play in the hose to pull up the PCV.

 

does anyone realize the sell PCV "specific" hoses at most parts stores??

 

browse the internet, you should find one there. Cheap one too.

 

Murray's FTW. That's where I got mine.

 

Do u gotta CLAMP those PCV hose? or can u do away w/o the clamps.

 

It be smart to clamp them lightly with the old clamp, or a small hose clamp.

 

I've changed it w/ the generic hoses and it can't seem to fit or sit properly anymore. I think the clamp itself won't really go over it. But I'll try see what I can do I suppose.

 

Buy a pack of small hose clamps for less than $2.
