Fitting an Oil Catch Tank?

the_wolf said:

It did help mine but I fitted it to a 200tdi. Mine wasn't breathing really heavily but I still wasnt keen on the oil in the air filter and for the cost of the setup I couldn't really complain. The oily sludge that it collected though was horrid but rather in that than in my air filter

Thanks for that.
I think I'll give it a go and suck it & see (not the oil)
I can always use it also when I eventually source a 200tdi for mine
(by the way 99% of the time she sits at 55mph very happily, just had to get past Lewis Hamilton in his HGV this morning)!

I know there is bound to be one somewhere, but as this is another opportunity to up my post count so that I can get closer to posting ads, does anyone have or know of a guide to fitting an oil catch tank to a 90.
Thanks again.

On my old 19j I ran the vent pipe into the chassis rail.:lol:

I sincerely hope I'm not your fecking monkey

Hi guys, I was doing a service on my 19j today and got ****ed off with oil in my air filter, so I ordered a catch can from ebay. But as I was putting new filter in today (and cleaned out air box) I thought I'd do a quick fix for now- pipe from breather into an empty washing up liquid bottle which I zip tied secure. I havnt put another pipe from bottle to air box and I havnt sealed the hole in air box. Will this be ok for now? or am I missing something?
Thanks

The trouble with the 19j system is the vent pipe joins in before the air filter[daft idea] so it gums up quick but this also means it does not matter that air box connection is open[for every day use]

Because 90's are quite heavy and not easy to push any distance.....obviously

It actually took me a couple of takes to get that!

Cheers totot. Didn't think it would matter to much, I'll be fitting catch can in few days anyway. So system will be sealed soon. I've ordered a cheap one from ebay in haste today but on further research I've read you should fit the ones with baffles in! What do you think guys?

I would just fit what you got,baffles only help catch a little bit more oil.
