Subaru PCV Control Valve for Impreza Forester Legacy Outback BRZ - 11810AA131 - Genuine OEM

Fits 2012 Subaru Forester.Inspect the black vacuum hose before ordering the PCV valve, if it’s not brittle and you want to save $16 bucks, you can re-use it. I chose to replace the hose.You will need:• 19mm DEEP Socket• 12” (or more) Socket ExtensionTook less than 10 minutes start to finish.

great price easy to put in, save lot of $$$. You will need to having a 12-15" extension for your socket

Worked perfectly on my 2013 Subaru Crosstrek XV.

Easy fit and install on a 2016 Subaru Crosstrek limited. But don’t forget the gasket maker material that should be applied to the top threads of this PCV before installing it.

All was good

Factory part

This is a critical maintenance on Subarus – actually on all cars but the Subarus seem to need more attention in this area. Perhaps the location of the valve has something to do with it. Failure to maintain these PCV valves will result in oil consumption or leakage. This is a direct replacement and takes just a few minutes to install as it is located right on the top of the engine underneath the intake manifold. As you can see in the photos, the hose from the intake manifold goes straight down to the PCV valve. Simply slide the clamp back on the hose (long needle-nosed pliers work well); remove the hose from the valve; replace the valve and then re-install the hose and clamp. Easy as can be.One note – the Amazon “parts fitting confirmation” program listed this as NOT fitting the 2015 Forester so I went directly to Subaru parts web site and checked the number, and Subaru does list this for that vehicle so I went ahead and ordered it. I believe that there was a part number change so that is probably why the Amazon listing was off. As a retired ASE certified mechanic, I can tell you that it (numbers changing) happens all of the time so I always check the vehicle manufacturers’ sites to confirm numbers. You should too!

Perfect fit!!
