good evening to all.

 

the question is, would replacing the pcv valves at 70,000 klm

make any difference to performance if blocked or dirty.

 

the thing is I cleaned throttle bodies out about 1 month ago

(very black) and since that, drivers side exhaust started smoking after engines warmed up in a morning, and now passenger side has started the same all in the the space of a month (since cleaning t/bs) and some times it feels down on power????

 

can any one help??

 

JIM:confused:

When you cleaned the throttle bodies did you reset the ECU by disconnecting the battery for an hour or so?

Yes mate, i did reset the ecu.

Just making sure.

is any body out there...........:confused:

Not sure that it would noticably affect performance, but the smoking can be associated with clogged PCV's. Well worth replacing them anyway, did mine at about 55,000m.

I did mine a short while ago and smoke has significantly reduced, I have 3 more pipes to fit.

Thanks for the reply lads.
