Engine Breather – an essential part of engine ventilation

The engine breather (PCV system) is a seemingly small but crucial component in every internal combustion engine. Its primary purpose is to ventilate the crankcase and channel blow-by gases generated during combustion. Our engine breather category includes both original and used breather systems, selected to ensure your engine’s safety and reliability.

Why is the engine breather so important?

The breather system, also known as the crankcase ventilation system, prevents increasing pressure inside the engine, which could otherwise lead to oil leaks, seal failures, or even severe engine malfunction. High crankcase pressure can jeopardize engine efficiency and long-term durability.

Common symptoms & engine breather failures

One of the most common issues is a clogged or faulty engine breather. Symptoms may include reduced engine performance, blue smoke from the exhaust, excessive oil consumption, or a distinctive ‘gurgling’ sound under the hood. Customers often ask:

  • How do I recognize a failing breather system?
  • Is it safe to drive with a faulty breather?
  • What are the consequences of a seized engine breather?
  • How often should the breather be replaced?

Neglecting the breather can lead to spark plug fouling, oil leaks, loss of power, and increased fuel consumption. It's advisable to inspect and replace the breather (along with its hoses and valves) every 60,000–100,000 km or at the first signs of trouble.

How to choose the right engine breather?

When selecting an engine breather for your vehicle, consider the make, model, year, and engine type. Our catalog includes both genuine and thoroughly tested used parts, ensuring optimal safety and performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about engine breathers:

  • Can I clean the breather instead of replacing it? – Cleaning can help, but if the breather is mechanically damaged or very worn, replacement is necessary.
  • Is driving with a faulty breather dangerous? – Yes, it may seriously damage your engine.
  • Can any breather be installed universally? – No, the breather must match your engine specification.
  • What does breather replacement cost? – Costs will depend on your vehicle model and whether you opt for a new or used part.
