PCV valve location?
I wanna check it sunday, but all I could find on the web is the PCV valve location on 4th and 3rd gens. Anyone the location of the PCV valve on a 5th gen? Anyone has a link to a write up with pics?

Its located on the drivers side of the engine block. If your looking from the drivers side of the engine bay, it's on the bottom right-hand side. Look near the throttle cable to get an idea. I just replaced mine a couple weeks ago. Someone on the .org has a picture of this so if your able to search then go for it.

While at the dealer getting some parts today, I asked for a PCV valve for my 2k2 GLE. The guy at the parts counter said that they are made differently now 'no screen to clog up' and they dont need to be replaced. He also said they were metal, not plastic.
I didn't believe him but didn't want to argue. Never saw a PCV valve with a screen.. only that little shaker thing inside that blocks gases from going the wrong way. Who's right???

Dave, earlier today I caught some pics in another thread of a 5th gen in-tank FF that someone had removed, it was a white plastic can. He was showing us how dirty the fuel in it was after short miles.. sorry I don't have a link but are you talking about the same filter?
In another thread people were talking about PCV replacements, OEM for $14 and other brands.. which is why I decided to add one to my list today. I'm only at 52K and running fine, but next time I pass a dealer I'll check again to see if I get a different story on the PCV!
thx
