    Preventative maintenance: is it time for CCV Replacement?

    I have an 05 zhp with almost 130k miles. I've done most preventative maintenance that I can think of, but I'm wondering if it's time/is it worth it to replace the ccv. How can you tell that this needs replacing? It's not throwing any codes, but I have noticed sputtering in the cold. I replaced the vanos but I haven't encountered any cold weather since to make sure this fixed the issue.

    If it does, is there any other maintenance that needs to be done at the same time?

    Thanks in advance!

    Where are you located?

    One way to tell is to remove one of the hose and to see if you have any sludge/mayo build up.

    I was planning on replacing the ccv system with the cold climate version on my wifes zhp. Car has 120k on it.

    Do you have a preventative maintenance list of the things you did do to the car?

    Which hose would be best to check?

    I would be helpful to know what has already been done (assuming you know).
