Actually thinking about this, is there an issues with pcv valve?

Seems to be a a thing now. If the car is running rough at idle, or down on power it could be a stuck pcv.

How would I confirm this? A code reader? - I have one so maybe I'll run it.

It's not noticeable down on power, but I don't drive like a hooligan but in sport it accelerates well enough from stop or at 30 up to 70 if joining a motorway.

Not sure how to test, lifting the oil filler cap to see if there is a vacuum but then the lack of vacuum would cover a split pipe as in the video.

If you can take off the four bolts on the cover and look if there is oil residue that maybe the issue in the pcv valve.

Cheers for sharing that.

Pretty accessible and not a hard fix.

I'll check out the parts cost as if it's inexpensive it might be worth changing anyway.
