How to fix your stock PCV system and intake manifold

[Elias]

Hey all,

has anyone removed the intake manifold on the 1.8l engine?
i have a 2013 sonic and wanted to know what has to be removed to have enough space to extract the intake manifold.

Just received a letter from Chevy saying that my 2015 Sonic PCV may crack and if any problems occur such as, running rough during idle, or check engine lights related to it show up, they'll replace it at no charge.

question is till when? restrictions? mileage and or years old? you know has to be a catch unless its a limited recall to failed systems only..

intake pcv? turbo pcv? valve cover ....

The letter states, the vehicle will be repaired for up to 10 yrs after it was put into service, or 120,000 miles, whichever comes first. It applies to the PCV pressure regulator valve. It appears that some of '15 models are developing cracks in the diaphragm, drawing excess air into the intake.

That's going to be the valve cover.
