December 29, 200520 yr Hello, I have before 10 days and 1000KM change the cylinder head gasket of my Brat's (EA81) And now need he much oil! Befor i have do the change the Brat needed 1 litre of /1000KM and now i must after 200KM 1 litre oil refill Who know what can be wrong ? Greetings from germany with Snow Norbert
December 29, 200520 yr does it leak oil? it is possible the oil is being used up by the PCV system remove the pcv valve and clean it up really goood, or replace it. check all the hoses for blockages
December 30, 200520 yr Author Hello, no its dont leak. Thats was to simple. What is the PCV Valve ? Norbert
January 2, 200620 yr Author Hello, i dont have find the PCV Valve:mad: Only what i have find is an big tube from the Valve cover on the right Engine side to the Airbox and a thick tube going from the left Valve cover on a Y-distributor and from this Y-distributor going a thick tube under the carburetor an a little tube to the Airbox. But a Valve i dont have find. Anybody any idea ? Norbert
January 2, 200620 yr ok just to make sure I got this right: 10 days ago you changed your head gasket before you changed it, the brat needed 1 litre every 1000km but now it needs 1 litre every 200km okay, the pcv valve I believe is on the right side of the intake manifold, the side with cylinders 1 and 3. a vacuum hose comes off of it, and the pcv is screwed into the intake manifold, I cant describe how it looks exactly, but it should need a fairly large (deep)socket/wrench to pull it out, I think 17mm, but not quite sure, give or take a couple mm. I'll try to find a diagram that can show you in a minute. when you take the pcv off, it should rattle around when you shake it, if it doesnt, or if it barely does, soak it in gasoline or run a bunch of carb cleaner through it or something similar. clean it out really good.
January 2, 200620 yr Author @scrap487 thanks for your answer. i will locking for that when you have a diagramm that was great! Norbert
January 2, 200620 yr PCV valve is called "Positive Crankcase Ventillation" valve. There might be a sticker under the hood of the vehicle with the "Vacuum Diagram". It may show where the valve is. I forgot. Anyone have a pic or diagram for him? Ich wiess einige Deutsch. Ich vergass viel. Wie heisst dein Auto?
January 2, 200620 yr Author Hello, under the hood wasn´t a sticker. It have become a new color an so anybody have clean the in side from the hood. So i need a Diagramm Norbert Hey your German is good!
