2006 Mazda 6 2.3 L

Can someone give me some help please. I am trying to replace the PCV. I have the replacement but I can't find it. Someone said it's under the intake manifold. Do I have to remove the manifold in order to see it and replace?

Thanks in advance for any guidance.

You don't have to remove the intake.

Part #6a666 is the PCV valve

Thanks, airjer I will let you know how I come out.

airjer,

Can you get at it from the top or underneath. With the diagram it looks simple but I can't find it.

[Jeremy airjer W]

To be honest I have not done one on this engine. I would imagine that taking a peak underneath might be the way to go.

They suck to do, it is right between the engine, and the cat converter. You get at it from above, but there is a steel tube that goes down to it, and you can bend the tube out of the way, remove the pcv, and replace it, then bend the tube back into place. You would get at it from standing in front of the drivers headlamp area.

Thanks 4wanderingeyes,

It will be at least tomarrow before I try it. I'll let you know.
