I do NOT recommend using a glove or anything else that might fall inside or get sucked in. Some oil fill necks have strainers and others don't. Much safer to loosen the oil cap and see if the gases are coming out or going in. Even easier if you or your friend smoke or vape and can supply test smoke to see which way the air is going
Important note - you have to do this test with the engine warm. You did, but it is important to know that if the engine is not warm, unpredictable results can occur. For example, it might appear to blow, but when warm it sucks.
My engine(19 vw 2.0tsi) was creating a massive vortex of a vacume at the oil cap and a random misfire @ 2k-4k rpm. I replaced the pcv and now it has quite a bit of positive pressure. Strangely enough, therese a vacume at the dipstick hole and no misfire. I fixed one problem but i still feel like its not quite right and louder. No codes, its a mystery
Loving the HubNut ziptie 🤣 I had to do the PCV on my first P80 V70 and my V50 T5. The P80 was the same as this, the V50 has the PCV box under the oil filter so it is considerably easier to change. When Bev's went I entrusted it to my local Volvo specialist this time as I don't have the time. They also found the filler cap was weeping badly so the oil leak I thought I had was actually that. Great video fella
I have a similar engine setup, and I am wondering as I cannot locate it myself. Do you happen to know where the fuel pressure sensor is located? Every video shows on the fuel rail where the valve is and it is quite frustrating. Thank you!

I don’t trust the glove not getting sucked in the engine.
Just an important note, the test is to be done once the engine is warm.
That's something new learned today, thanks for such a easy explanation of what a PCV does. I look forward to watching your fix 😃

That's normal in almost all brand new factory 4 cylinders. 6 and 8 cylinders generates good vacuum at idle but 4 cylinders can not.
Did you ever do this job?

I wouldn't have thought that little amount of gas would be a fail. Oh well....
Thank's for the video , I will check this in my old Toyota and see what happen.
I took care of the problem by using a ventilated oil cap from a Volvo 140.
Thank you ; 👌🏽
Thanks for the video, showing the blown up glove. On the RAV4, it blew as well, but the PCV was fine. They must have different systems.
Good vid mate. Thanks
Great vidoe

Sorry for the fail, but thanks for the test idea and example!
Did you ever do the follow up video on the pcv valve test. I looked through your videos but didn't see one.
Do you have a second video detailing how you change the PCV system?
