Does anyone have a pic of the oil trap set up installed on their car? I have a non-AMG. Where is the pcv valve. I tried to find it quickly but I didn't see anything that looked familiar on the engine. Thanks.

 

Stan, The attached thumbnails are from the service manual hope it helps. I also found this that might help. It's not the same motor but it should give you rough idea.http://www.mbworld.org/forums/showth...ight=oil+catch

 

Thanks Robby,
I couldn't view the MB thread because it asked my for a login.

So does this mean there is actually no actual PCV Valve ??

 

I think #2 in the pic is suppose to be the PCV.

 

OK Thanks for the info

 

This reminds me of a thread on the Chrysler Intrepid page, their solution to sucking engine vapours into the intake track, was to install a small bottle in the line, I forget the make but it has an in & out line on the top almost like the ones on a compressor, there are plenty of pictures of the amount of oil collected and kept from dirtying up the intake.

We used to have an 93 Topaz V6 that sucked oil into the intake, it required reqular cleaning, never could fix it up, but the car ran better when cleaned

Perhaps an "oil trap" could help our cars

 

I still didn't see a PCV valve in those diagrams. If there isn't one then no wonder we are getting oil into the chamber. Where are the usual motorheads on this forum that have all the answers? They haven't chimed in on this.

 

This one might have a better answer. I guess it doesn't have a regular PCV valve like most cars. The valve looks like this but they hacked it up for the catch can install.

 

These pictures expalain 'em better! Thanks dude! I just having hard time in figuring the pcv on the first thread.

As explained to me at Woodward, our cars do not have a pcv valve, but a pcv system. It works the same way, but our engines/ecm must be able to compensate for the vacuum leak without the PCV valve.

Even with a PCV valve, you will suck oil, gas, and moisture vapors thru the system, that is what it is made for. The valve won't stop that.

hi new the the forum is there anyone who can help me find where the in-the-bubbles ☹️🧐🥸😖 is the pcv valve located no one can find it including myself i need pictures geeeeeeeeeze!

 

Please read post #12.

 

There is no PCV valve as far as I know. However, if you're looking to prevent oil from flowing into the intake manifold, than it would be better to install an "Oil Catch Can". This would be an "oil trap".
I have installed one on my base roadster. I empty it every year when I change the oil. I've had a couple of ounces come out of the catch can that would have gone into my intake manifold.
Needswings.com sells the kit LINK- Oil Catch Can Kit and you get everything you need to install it.
Here's a post I did when I installed mine: LINK - Oil Catch Can Install

 

Here's my setup
