Peugeot 301 Crankcase Ventilation Issue

Oil leaks, no, thankfully. Noises, nothing out of the ordinary, just a general sense of it running rough. I haven't pulled the valve itself yet - is it difficult to get to?

Accessing the valve isn't too bad, but based on your description, it definitely sounds like a ventilation issue. I messed around with mine for a while, trying to clean it, but in the end, I had to take it to a workshop. They confirmed my suspicions and replaced the valve.

Alright, sounds like I'm heading to the workshop then. Thanks for confirming my fears! At least I know what to expect.

Sounds familiar. I had similar symptoms with my 301, though I didn't catch it as early as you have. The smoke is a telltale sign. Have you noticed any oil leaks or unusual noises from the engine? Did you check the PCV valve itself for any visible damage or blockages?
