Hi All, Thanks to the help here on this forum I've replaced the rear cam seal on Mom's V70 and want to clean out the PCV system. I'd like to start with the Flame trap but am having trouble finding it. Is it hidden under the intake along with the seperator tank? I've got a new intake gasket but I'd like to check out the trap before I take the manifold off. Thanks in advance for your help!

 

Update due to ignorance,,,,,,,,,, Just found out after searching around the engine compartment of the car for an hr , that this model is a turbo and they don't have the Flame trap. Any advice on other things to check before I start taking the intake off? Thanks!

 

Check all the small vacuum lines.

 

The turbo models have an oil trap under the intake that gets pretty clogged up. You need to remove the intake manifold to get to it and pay close attention to all the tubes and hoses going to the box.

Replace all those components when in doubt. You do not need this car blowing more oil.
