Where can I order the small crank breather filter for a K11?

[lostonthetoad]

I've changed my air filter but I noticed that this little piece of filter blocking the hole is disgusting.

Sorry for the thread I've tried to search for it but I can't find it.


Also if anyone knows if this is the correct pollen/cabin filter that I will need, that'd be awesome!

It's my 1st car and all I know how to do is change the air filter, fuel filter, oil & filter and spark plugs so please excuse my lack of knowledge

I assume you mean the rombus piece of felt in the air filter box.. Nissan main dealer is where you can get it from costs just under £3

Thanks for the reply I didn't notice I'd had one for a while!
Yeah that's exactly what I was attempting (badly) to describe. I have emailed an Evans Halshaw local to me to ask (as best as I could des) if they stock them

I soaked mine in kerosene over a weekend which cleared it out very well. It was still black but not full of crap

Part number is 16565-53J01 if i remember correctly.

Also check and clean the PCV Valve. That one also tends to get full of crap.

I'm a bit tight at the moment and don't really want to pay about £10+ for kerosene, when I'm only going to use like 300ml of the stuff.
Can you think of a suitable substitute?

I googled nissan main dealers near me and it brought up Evans Halshaw. I emailed them but they never replied as I guess they probably think it's probably not worth their time?
How can I locate a more willing one?

You can clean the pcv valve with intake / carb / brake cleaner. Its only oil vapors That pass tru and gunk iT up so anything That cleans up oil should work.

Try Just going to the dealer. In my expwrience theyll help you without a problem If you show up in person.

I literally just taped a bean tin onto a stick and dipped it into the home heating oil tank. Completely free and I just poured it back into the tank when I was done.

That also works yeah. You can also use diesel fuel. As long as it cleans of oil youre fine.

I binned mine altogether and put one of these on instead.

Yup....I did that as well.

So I cleaned the PVC rombus filter with driveway oil cleaner and boiling water and rinsed it out and soaked it over about 12 hours and I'd say 70% of it turned white again and the rest still seemed clean just stained.
I just need to locate this PVC valve and clean it now.

Thanks for all the replies! Hopefully this thread will be useful to others in the future

Pcv valve is on the back of the head.

I finally got around to doing this today. I removed all 3 of the hoses connecting to the head but the pcv valve seemed to be clean. As did the one over to the right on the same side. The one that is closest to the battery however was full of oil. I removed the clumpy oil with a toothbrush and left the rest as I assume there should be oil in here anyway? (I know nothing about cars yet lol)
