Mazda 626 2010 2.5 v6
Sorry if this in the wrong area.. I have a 10, mazda 626 2.5 v6, it has the green /white check valve broken???
VALVE, CHK (HE41-13-995) - $28.97 - HE4113995
Does the intake need to be removed to replace this valve? Also can i use a basic check valve from autozone/Oreillys? or the dealer?
and finally if i use a basic blk/white check valve which way should it go?
Thanks in advance..

From:
our millenias have these valves. they are slightly less from tasca, which has the best prices on the web.
CHECK VALVE | Genuine Mazda | HE41-13-995
the 2.3 millenia has 21 feet of vacuum line, and 2 of these. the lines weld themselves to the outlets of the valve, which is plastic, and after years and thousands of heat cycles, the plastic becomes very brittle. at least 1 of the 2 will break whenever i change out the vacuum lines. they also can become clogged, and that will affect their operation. i have no experience with the mazda 6, but if you have more than 1 of these valves, even cutting off the vacuum line may not work. dunno about the oreilly valves, these suckers take a lot of vacuum. because of the supercharger on the 2.3, vacuum is also controlled by a mechanical vacuum pump, and it is stout. to get at these on the 2.3, the intake has to come off, which is labor intensive. so, since i KNOW the mazda valve works, i replace it with the same one. otherwise, if an aftermarket valve fails, i gotta pull the intake again, and buy the mazda one anyway. i did move one of the valves out in the open, next to the abv, so next time i can change it in a few minutes.
