Default Mazda 323f 1.3 2001 = PCV Valve

Hello,

I have a Mazda 323f 1.3 2001 and I am looking for a PCV valve but I cannot seem to find it anywhere in Belgium (Where I live).
Anyone know where I can order this part?

Thanks!

Welcome to the forum

Can you show a picture of your specific pcv valve side a pencil?
The US market for some parts does not always list non or grey market vehicles.

Thanks!

I don't have the car with me but I can send a picture.
I have seen this part with B541 already on the internet but it always says for Mazda 323f 1.6 instead of 1.3

Maybe I will also share the reason why I think it is maybe broken. My car keeps showing the P0170 code. I first had a vacuum leak on the intake tube which I fixed. The lambda sensor got replaced right before the message popped up. I have checked the MAF values on my OBD2 tool and the look quite alright. I am think of replacing this valve first since it is quite a cheap part. If that won't fix it I am thinking about changing the MAF sensor even though it looks fine.

Anyone has other suggestions? In the beginning it was just only the code but the car was riding fine, now I cannot go faster then 100kmh (60mph) because the car won't let me, also around 2000rpm I feel that it hesitates to accelerate. Can this also maybe be fuelfilter/fuel pump related?

Thanks in advance!

You can find a 90-degree angle PVC valve with the same I.D. intake air tube side diameter and it should work fine. That is a typical ball -in valve or plunger. Typically, they will all for the most part work unless you have a boosted intake system. Super or Turbocharged.
You will know if you get one that is internally too large (did not measure things correctly) your engine will have a higher-than-normal idle speed. But even that may not be a problem depending on the complete health of the inductive, intake, and PCV systems?
