PCV valve -- dealer only?
I've been trying to find a PCV valve for my 2000 Saturn Lseries wagon,
with no luck....I've been told they are dealer only items, which is hard to believe, since they are such a common tune-up item. Anyone know? Thanks, Terry M. |

I got a PCV valve for my 2000 SL2 from Napa Auto parts...I couldn't
find it anywhere else and I refuse to give anything to the saturn dealerships.

hmm, I did try napa online, no PCV valve is listed for this Saturn.
I stopped in at Carquest, they don't list them either...I'll take your advice and go to a NAPA dealer in person & see if they have one. I agree with you about the Saturn dealer, I bought this car used, I'm not exactly in love with Saturns. The closest dealer to me is a 1 hour drive, too far for a $3.00 part.

If it has to go through UPS, they charge for shipping, though. |

That's a pretty strong statement, do you have any facts to back that

Dan, that's the best idea I've heard yet, I'll try a little carb spray on it
and reuse it-- "Mason121" > wrote in message ... > >"progrmr" wrote: > >>I got a PCV valve for my 2000 SL2 from Napa Auto parts...I couldn't >>find it anywhere else and I refuse to give anything to the saturn >>dealerships. > > I bought mine from Lee Auto Parts here in ILL.
