In this video, see how to replace the oil vapour recovery valve on the 1.6 TDCi 90 PS engine of a Ford Focus. This small valve, surprisingly, is very important, as evaporated oil creates a pressure increase that can hinder the movement of the pistons.

This system not only reduces pollution but also prevents this phenomenon. If this valve fails, it will no longer manage the pressure increase, causing engine damage.

The oil becomes contaminated by unprocessed condensation, and there may be an increase in exhaust fumes. The replacement procedure is straightforward and presents no difficulties.

To obtain the part, it is advisable to visit a local parts supplier with the old part, as it does not have a specific name that would help in finding it online.
