Where is the PCV valve located on the Wuling Hongguang?

Wuling Hongguang's crankcase ventilation valve is located on the valve cover. Information about the crankshaft is as follows: Function: The crankshaft is the most important component in the engine. It receives the force transmitted by the connecting rod and converts it into torque, which is then output through the crankshaft to drive other engine accessories. The crankshaft is subjected to the combined effects of centrifugal force from rotating masses, periodically varying gas inertia forces, and reciprocating inertia forces, causing it to bear bending and torsional loads. It also prevents engine oil from deteriorating and avoids leakage from the crankshaft oil seal and crankcase gasket. Crankshaft medium-frequency induction quenching: The crankshaft medium-frequency induction quenching process employs a computer-monitored closed-loop medium-frequency induction heating device, featuring high efficiency, stable quality, and controllable operation.
The PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) valve on my old Wuling Hongguang is located on top of the engine, specifically between the valve cover and the intake manifold. You'll need to open the hood to see it clearly. It's usually a small plastic component connected to a rubber hose leading to the crankcase, designed to prevent oil vapor buildup in the engine that could cause pollution or pressure issues. When I inspected it myself before, I noticed it's fixed beside the cylinder head, on the left front side, where it's prone to dust clogging that affects performance. If the PCV valve fails, the car may experience unstable idling or even emit blue smoke. You'll need to apply some force to unclip it when replacing. Remember to disconnect the battery before working to avoid electric shock. Simply cleaning it during maintenance intervals is quick and hassle-free.
