Where can I buy a new cdr valve?

[vanet]

I checked the local Ford dealer, autozone, napa and Rock auto and nobody has a cdr valve. Am I calling it by the wrong name, or are these things really that hard to come by.

Does anyone know where I can get one??

Thanks for the help. Van

I ordered mine through my Ford dealer.

Try an International turck center parts counter. Or the Ford dealer parts counter... They have to be able to get you one... If they say they can't its because they are too damn lazy to look up an old part.

E3TZ-6A665-A "Adapter assembly for Crankcase Ventilation" Also known as the CDR (Crankcase Depression Regulator) Valve ALL YEARS
How about that?

I'll forgive you this time since your relatively new. Check the PARTS BIN, 2nd page in the IDI Tech Articales.

Before I got a near-new CDR from Hydro-idi (thx, Ian!), I went to the International dealer for one. I told the young man I was looking for a CDR. "What's that?" "A crankcase depression regulator." "What's that?"

Finally, the resident "Ford expert" came over and showed the junior associates where to look in the computer. Their exploded drawing showed a CDR, but mounted on a pipe, venting from the valve cover..... I asked: "Is that setup for a turbo?" They said no.... price like $103 for the CDR. And they'd have to order it.

True story.

Told them I'd come back with a part number. Would have called the several Ford stealers in the area. Good thing I didn't need to.....

From another member
The price is $50.32 (plus shipping) at Fordpartsgiant.com. part # E3TZ-6A665-A You can get them at a dealer, but don't ask for a CDR, you will just get a blank stare. They are called an adapter by the parts dept

Should probably look in the parts bin for the other pieces you will need

Like others said, the problem is that Ford doesn't call it a CDR valve. Bought mine from Tousley Ford online. $40-$50 IIRC.

After seeing all your replies, I called the local Ford dealer and went through the whole deal about the above parts number, the description etc and was told the part is no longer available. I guess I will try online and see if that works any better. Thanks for the help.

Total BS. I just ordered mine from Tousley Ford maybe......4 months ago? Something like that.

Call these guys, ask for Steve, and tell him you're an online customer so you get the better deal. http://www.tousleyfordparts.com/
