Looking for the PCV valve on my 2015 Fiesta S

[Cheryl Lyne]

I think my car is a mutant. We've been trying to find the pcv valve so we can replace it. But despite checking YouTube, etc, we can't find where it's located. There are videos that show someone replacing the valve on a 2015 Fiesta but the engine doesn't look like mine. Any ideas? Thanks.

Which video? Else we may need a photo of your motor and if it's like ours, we can point it out to you.

It's a tedious job to remove it and replace it, for you have to take out the intake manifold to obtain access to that valve and its assembly.

A Thread (or several) on it is found here...

I'll take a picture of my engine tomorrow. Brother replaced the manifold absolute pressure sensor and cleared the code so we are waiting to see if the light comes back on.

You have one like others that like us, drive a Fiesta...

Just look down thru that gap, you'll find that harness and the IMAPT sensor.

There is a rubber hose snaking thru from the intake by that IMAPT - that is the PCV hose. It routes back towards the engines cylinder head - to the valve and the cover.

A word of advice - the PCV valve in the USA cannot be exchanged or swapped out for another one, it is integrated into it's holder. The Whole unit, it has to be replaced, the whole assembly - holder and all - and it's bolted to the cylinder head so you'll need tools and lots of time to take this thing apart to replace it.

If your still have ambitions and your family has tools and help to lend a hand - you can do this - it just takes time.

Research SIGMA motor from FORD or FORD Sigma Motor in a search engine to find out more about this engine.

Thank you so much! So far the check engine light is staying off so maybe replacing the pressure sensor did the trick. If the problem persists I'll take it to a local mechanic. He does good work and doesn't overcharge. Again, thanks so much for your help!
