Hey guys I have a 2005 Prius that I bought, it has 72,000 miles on it so I took it in to Power Toyota to get it serviced and saw on here that some one recommended PCV valve change at 60,000 miles so I asked the guy working there to change the PCV valve but he told me that my car doesn't have one?? What am I to think of this :juggle:
Which dealer did you take your car to: Irvine? In any event whoever told you that is wrong. The PCV valve is located in the upper right corner of the valve cover (when viewing the engine compartment standing by the front bumper) and is hidden by the engine wiring harness that runs over the valve cover. galaxee had initiated a string about the PCV valve replacement, if you do a search you will find lots of discussion about that.
Yes the Irvine location told me that. Any one know of any better places to take a Prius for some work?
There isn't an EGR valve, as the VVT is used to provide a similar function. But there absolutely is a PCV valve I'd never return to that dealership. If they are that full of s*** on something as minor as a PCV valve, what else will they bugger up??
In your area, I'd suggest Rancho Santa Margarita Toyota as they've done good warranty work for me when I lived in south OC. Tustin Toyota also is a possibility.
