My V70 T5 has a plugged PCV.  I understand I need to remove the intake
manifold to get to it.  I'm looking for advice from someone else who
has already done this so I don't needlessly take other parts off.  For
example, what's the best way to remove the FI connections?

TIA.

It's really not a hard job.  Start by removing the intercooler hoses,
then the fan and shroud complete.  I left the injectors in the intake
manifold and disconnected the fuel line.  Note there's no fuel return
(at least not on mine, both 98 T5s, one S70 and one V70) that other pipe
is connected to the intake manifold.  Removing the clips on the top and
back of the engine holding those 2 pipes down allowed me to jockey that
other pipe out of the way.  Other than that, the only thing you need is
a 10mm socket with a built in universal joint, otherwise you won't be
able to get at one manifold bolt without removing the throttle body.
And make sure you have the seal at the bottom of the dipstick tube as
it's bolted to the bottom of the intake manifold, and also there's a
support bracket under there.  Make sure you have all new hose clamps,
the originals are not reusable.  Also, I never needed to do anything
from underneath, so there's no need to raise the car.

Thanks Mike.  SInce I posted this question I was talked out of this
strategy and into a much simpler replacement of the oil cap.  So far
no new oil, but still too early to tell.  Of course, a $12 and 1
minute fix is hard to beat ... if it works!

Trust me, if your car needs this job, you'll have to do it eventually.
It's the weak point of these engines, if they're not maintained by the
book.
