Oil Catch Can.

Yes you could theoretically just put a breather filter but

a) its going to get clogged up with oil in about 2 days

b) it will sh!t oil all over your engine bay

ok I see, so basically you could just get a oil breather pipe filter and put that on ?? Do you really need a can on it as well ??

Also http://www.fuelefficientsystems.co.uk/index.php?page=egr-replacement-power-pipe-kits is this good as it is to replace the EGR valve or does this basically make more exhaust gases get back into ure engine ?? Where can these oil catch cans be bought ??

And it it a big job cleaning you inlet manifold, or even checking for the muck from the oil and exhaust fumes ??

yeah agreed, it will just make a mess of your engine bay.

Its not to much of a big job to clean the inlet mani, just need some time and slim hands to fit down the back to unbolt it. Theres loads about cleaning the inlet on here and tdiclub if you search for egr cleaning you should find what you want.

Checking for it is as easy as popping off the hose and looking down the egr into the inlet.

Have found some good threads on EGR cleaning, tdiclub has got a big thread on it some good hints and tips. Have seen some right mucky inlets and egr's i wonder what mines going to be like after 90k !! Going to have a poke about today and see whats what.

Also where do you get oil catch cans from ?

A little expensive but very good quality http://www.forgemotorsport.co.uk/content.asp?inc=product&cat=0002&product=FMUNCTCF This is what I've fitted to my car, you will however need to buy some Oil Hoses.

After filling my catch can slightly more my breather filter has stopped blowing oil.

Are you just using tights and stainless scourers?

 

[Ultra_Joel88]

Indeed squire.

I simply cannot believe the difference in temperatures the plastic air induction pipe gets.

With no catch can that plastic used to get red hot on mine, now I have a catch can and no gases are getting re-cycled the temperatures are down massivly.

That makes me smile

Which part do you mean?

The big black plastic pipe after the airbox. The one that you block off when doing a open catch can system.
