Is your quote fair?
A quote between $81 and $183 is inside the band where half of all Ford Taurus PCV valve replacements landed. Below it is not automatically a bargain (a valve you can reach with one hand); above it is not automatically gouging (a valve built into the valve cover or under the intake) — but both ends deserve a question.
What moves the price
- Access — on most engines it's minutes; on a few it hides under the intake manifold.
- Built into the cover — some designs mean replacing the valve cover itself.
