Honda PCV Valve OEM – 17130-PWA-003 – Jazz, Civic, HR-V, CR-Z

Honda PCV Valve – 17130-PWA-003

Genuine Honda OEM PCV valve for L13 and L15-series engines and hybrid powertrains. The PCV valve (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) routes blow-by gases from the crankcase back into the intake system, where they are burned off. A properly functioning PCV valve maintains negative pressure in the crankcase, protecting seals from premature wear and reducing exhaust emissions.

Applications

• Honda City (2009–2010) – engine L13Z1
• Honda Civic VII 3D (2009–2011) – engine L13Z1
• Honda Civic VIII 5D (2006–2016) – engine L13A7, L13Z4
• Honda CR-Z (2011–2016) – engine LEA3
• Honda HR-V II (2015–2020) – engine L15B4 (DOHC, naturally aspirated)
• Honda HR-V E:HEV (2022–2026) – engine LEC3
• Honda Jazz (2002–2020)
• Honda Jazz E:HEV (2021–2026)

The Jazz models listed above cover several generations with different engine variants – not all of them use the same PCV valve. Before ordering, we recommend verifying compatibility using your VIN number – we offer free VIN checks, contact us before purchasing.

The number listed above is a Honda OEM reference number. Use it to verify compatibility in the official Honda parts catalogue or with your OEM parts distributor.

Signs of PCV Valve Failure

• Increased engine oil consumption – a faulty valve disrupts crankcase pressure
• White or blue smoke from the exhaust – oil entering the combustion chamber
• Rough idle – a blocked valve causes uncontrolled air intake
• Oil deposits on the air filter element or in the intake system
• Oil leaks through seals – excess crankcase pressure caused by a blocked valve

A worn or blocked PCV valve is worth replacing during routine servicing – it is an inexpensive part, and neglecting it can lead to costly seal damage and increased oil consumption.

Installation and Service Tips

• Before removing the valve, disconnect the crankcase ventilation hose – check its condition and flexibility at the same time.
• Test the valve before fitting – blowing from the engine side, air should pass freely; from the intake side, it should be blocked.
• As a precaution, replace the PCV valve every 60,000 km or when signs of crankcase ventilation issues appear.
• After installation, check the hose connections for leaks around the valve.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions about Honda PCV Valve 17130-PWA-003

Is the PCV valve sold together with the hose?
No, part number 17130-PWA-003 includes the PCV valve only. The crankcase ventilation hose is sold separately.

How can I test the PCV valve without removing it?
There are two simple tests you can perform with the engine running at idle. First – remove the oil filler cap and hold a piece of paper over the opening: if the PCV valve is working correctly, the paper should be drawn towards the opening by the negative pressure. Second – stretch a thin rubber glove over the oil filler opening: with a functioning PCV valve, the air inside the glove should be drawn out. If the paper is pushed away or the glove inflates outward, this may indicate a blocked PCV valve or worn piston rings. If in doubt, the safest course of action is to replace the valve – it is an inexpensive part and replacing it eliminates the risk of further seal damage.

Does this valve fit my Honda Jazz?
The Jazz was produced across several generations with different engines – not all variants use the same PCV valve. We offer free VIN-based compatibility checks, contact us before ordering.

How often should the PCV valve be replaced?
Honda does not specify a fixed replacement interval for the PCV valve. In practice, it is recommended to inspect it at every service and replace it every 60,000 km or when symptoms of abnormal crankcase ventilation appear.
