I have had problems with oil use and hesitation on hard acceleration. I just took the top manifold link off and found oil on the seals in the top of manifold and the PCV pipe that attaches to it

Is this a broken PCV or more investigation needed. Any experts out there please?

 

Thanks gents (and ladies)

I think my ignorance is the problem too. The pictures are the best my wordings of parts maybe incorrect.

 

If anyone can help a numpty much appreciated

I think I'm right in saying the PCV should allow the oily crankcase gases to be sucked into the manifold under closed throttle only. If the valve is faulty, then gases are blown in all the time and particularly under full throttle. My PCV was replaced for the same reason but I also had the inlet cleaned up and a new injector fitted at the same time, so cannot say for sure what actually solved the issue.

Thanks that's helpful. I have vcds arriving tomorrow so will look for codes. Check the DV and thats fine. I cleaned mine and re fitted so will see if that has improved things. Why do they always go wrong just as warranty runs out? grr
