1.9.1 General description of the PCV-System

Blowby gas with oil reaches the cylinderhead cover, where the oil will be separated and directed back to the oil sump. The cleaned blowby gases are directed via the intake system to the combustion. The pressure regulator makes sure that the high vacuum level between crankcase and ambient air will be reduced if needed.
