The PCV valve (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) is one of the first attempts to reduce unburned hydrocarbon emissions: it allows some exhaust gases to be sent into the intake manifold to re-enter the combustion chamber as part of a fresh charge of air and fuel; this also results in a depressurisation of the crankcase, improving lubrication.

Open the front bonnet and locate the PCV valve: it is situated at the rear right (when facing the engine) and resembles a bulb.

Disconnect the securing clip of the attached hose and slide the hose off. Then remove the valve with a 19 mm spanner and replace it with the new one, tightening it adequately; finally, reinsert the hose and its securing clip.

Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
