Review on Beck Arnley 045 0341 PCV Valve by John Brouillard

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Doesn't work for me!

Didn't fit me! When I installed it on my 2004 Camry - 4 cylinder, the service light kept flashing on startup. I took it off and noticed that this valve lets air through when you blow off the side of a long whistle. I cleaned the old original PCV valve with a degreaser and returned it as new. To be honest, the genuine part is around $13 at the dealer, so don't replace it with a cheap Chinese part! Tip for beginners: 1- The PCV hose will need to be replaced if you were present when replacing the PCV valve on 180k+ vehicles as it will break when removed. 2- When air leaks from the PCV hose, the engine will start and then shut off. (I had to run to the dealership with a replacement car, as I did). 😀😀😀

Pros
  • Quality construction for durability
Cons
  • Out of style
