My dealer told me that's need to replace the PCV valve on my 2007 Santa Fe 2.7L V6. I have the factory manual with directions and it says to unscrew the existing valve after disconnecting the hose and replace it with the new valve. However the location it shows in the manual has a hose that connects to something that looks similar to a PCV, but it is just a straight fitting with no way to put a wrench on it and that has no valve inside. This fitting has no threads and is friction fit only. Is the PCV valve it in a different location that I can't see? I'm new to this forum, so apologies if this question has been posted elsewhere and I didn't see it.

I've included a photo pointing to the location the manual indicates the PCV valve should be. I'm pointing to the location of the non-threaded fitting that has no valve inside.

Thanks in advance to anyone who might have some insight.

 

Hasn't anyone figured out where the PCV valve is in 10 yrs?? In relation to the orifice tube in pic where is the PCV valve? The manual shows it where the orifice tube is! The post has been viewed 13000 times so Many people can't find it.

 

PVC valve location! Woohoo
