To replace the Wuling Hongguang's crankcase ventilation valve, I think you can first prepare a new valve and basic tools like wrenches or pliers. Usually, this valve is located on the valve cover at the top of the engine, which can be seen by opening the hood. Disconnect the negative battery terminal for safety, and operate when the engine is cold. Then, remove the clips or clamps connecting the hose, slowly pull out the old valve, being careful not to yank it to avoid damaging the hose. After cleaning any oil stains or dust around the area, gently push the new valve into place, ensuring it's securely installed, then reconnect the hose and fasten the clips. Finally, reconnect the battery, start the engine, and check if it runs normally without any unusual noises or oil leaks. Regularly inspecting this valve can prevent carbon buildup in the engine, and if fuel consumption is high, consider replacing it—preferably checking every 20,000 kilometers.
