Wayne, can we have an updated spec list of your car please?

 

[CupraR_Lad]

A little update I fitted this afternoon!
Made by Loony R, Great piece of kit! thanks mate,

Oil Catch Tank!

 

[George 3G]

Looks great mate. What's inside to prevent the oil being sucked back into the engine?

 

[CupraR_Lad]

Nothing!

 

[George 3G]

Might be worth getting some wire wool and sticking it inside mate

Nice car there ive got exactly the same, just out of curiosity how did the gauges cost to buy and get fitted?

There is no return to the intake so this is not a possibility. From the looks of it one hose comes from the crankcase breather, the other from the rocker cover breather and the can just VTA through the filter.

Yeah thats right mate!

 

[DannyC87]

Same setup as mine Wayne, except I have a hose from where your filter is to wheel arch to stop the smell of hot oil in the car.

 

[CupraR_Lad]

Ahh i was wondering what that smell of hot oil was! lol!

 

[Loony R]

The catch tank looks good unpainted matey, I normally get a wiff of oil now and again in traffic or on a hot day after a good blast. All normal though.
