Car Forum / Nissan / Nissan Cars / July 2006PVC valve on Pathfinder
Hello group, I am the owner of a 2003 Pathfinder with a oil burning problem. The service manager at the dealership suggested I tried replacing the PCV valve. Bought the valve today, but can not locate it in engine compartement. Can some one guide me? P.S: a short block was installed in december 2005 by nissan at 56k now 66k Thank you Bob Trepanier Bob I would call the Service Dept and ask them were the PVC value is located - or just take it to the service dept - open the hood and ask them to point to PVC value it should be on the value cover or in that area .. you might also call the parts dept and ask them - they might even fax you a print out of its location > Hello group, > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > Bob Trepanier On the '02 (3.5l V6), it sticks out the firewall end of the passenger side valve cover. '03 is probably somewhere in the same general area.

That's Nissan's problem. And I don't see how a bad PCV valve would make it burn oil. > Hello group, > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > Bob Trepanier Thank you to all who responded. I was told by my dealer that it was replaced with new engine (I don't think so...). Dealer says 1 litre for 2000KM is normal, B.S. Continuing oil consumption test.

Its not something they would specifically replace on a replacement engine unless it was completely missing. Most, if not all car makers say 1 qt of oil per 1000 miles (approx 1 litre/1600KM) is within specs. Most engines do better than that (except maybe Volkswagen), but you won't find a manufacturer that will honor a warranty claim for it. |
