Where is the Cruze crankcase ventilation valve located?
1 Answers
The Cruze crankcase ventilation valve is located near the valve cover. The crankcase ventilation methods include natural ventilation and forced ventilation. To prevent excessive crankcase pressure, extend the service life of engine oil, reduce component wear and corrosion, and prevent engine oil leakage, crankcase ventilation must be implemented. Modern gasoline engines often use forced crankcase ventilation, also known as the PCV system. The functions of crankcase ventilation are: 1. Prevent lubricant deterioration and fuel dilution of engine oil, reducing component wear and corrosion; 2. Reduce pressure, lower temperature, and prevent leakage; 3. Recover combustible gases and reduce pollution. Taking the 2018 Cruze as an example, it is a compact car with body dimensions of 4666mm in length, 1807mm in width, and 1460mm in height, a wheelbase of 2700mm, a minimum ground clearance of 150mm, a curb weight of 1310kg, a fuel tank capacity of 52 liters, and a trunk capacity of 430 liters.
