CPV leaking

Post by Viren » Mon May 08, 2017 10:00 am

Hi guys, did my oil change after getting rod bearings replaced and noticed my cpv is leaking a little. I was suppose to have this replaced at the same time as the bearings but forgot!!!!! :headbang:

Seems like an easy diy however does anyone know where to buy a tool that will make removing the cpv easier, in the US they call it a drag link socket (http://m.ebay.com/itm/332108692648).

Thanks

Assume it's only the seals that need replacing not the entire cpv?

Tiny amount.

Really not enough to worry about

CPV leaking

I got the tool and seals from John too. Be prepared: it's a bitch of a job that will require a lot of arm contortion and swearing. I did mine with the engine carrier reinforcement place removed and reckon it would have been that much harder to try with it still on!

My tip: stick a ratcheting ring spanner over the hex section of the drop link socket :thumbsup:
