cost to clean PCV Valve

[TheRealBilly]

Hi all , I brought my car V70XC SE and the day I got it, the check engine light came on with a code p0422 which I googled and was catalytic converter related and my v70 made a clogged noise so I replaced the cat , I got a direct fit cat and volvo o2 sensor to replace it with and now the check engine light is off with the new cat and o2 sensor installed. The problem is, I am still hearing a sound that sounds like the cat is still clogged up . I have been reading about PCV valves, the hose that go to my PCV valve is hard as a rock but there is no smoke coming from the oil dipstick after i drive for more then 10 mins and I did what RobertDIY of youtube suggested with a rubber glove to check if the pcv is bad, i put a rubber glove over the oil cap and it suck it in when I turn the engine on, so other then the hardtube going to the pcv vavle, all else seems to be fine, i am not sure if I just need to clean the pcv valve so my Question is, would a clogged pcv valve make the same noise as a clogged cat ? I dont have the mechanical abilities to clean the PCV so also what is the average cost to have that done

make the same noise as a clogged cat ?

What is noise of a clogged cat?

The 98 - 00 v70awd cars have more engine/intake noise than the fwd v70/s70's when accelerating -

Is that the noise you are talking about?

There is no PCV valve in the sense of what you think. The breather (PCV) system consists of several parts and hoses to replace, a 5 hours hob

ok I watched RobertDIY on youtube who works on volvos and he talked about having the pcv valve clean so often, not sure then , maybe I misheard what he was talking about. thanks for the reply, I found though carfax, that a volvo dealer replaced all the hoses at 77k miles. Now I wonder if the noise could be from the turbo. oh well, it drives good.

a clogged catalytic converter < Cat > Well I thought that too about it being AWD,Though the last owner remove the AWD and made it FWD. I wonder if it having the AWD removed could be the reason I am hearing a sound that sounds like something is clogged.

Sounds normal

Some people pay hundreds of dollars to get their car to sound like that (cold air intakes) !

If you had a clogged cat the engine would have no power - you seem to not have any problem keeping up with traffic
