Heavy engine breathing

greenlanebasher · May 21, 2010

Hi - My 2.5td is breathing heavily and spitting oil vapour out of the breather pipe and filling up the air filter. I have seen on previous posts that people are talking bout fitting an oil trap to catch the oil vapour or even just a baked bean can. Has anybody got any pictures of a system that they have got set up and where are the proper catch traps availble from?

Thanks

Stick the breather pipe in the chassis. It'll help stopping the front chassis leg from rotting away.

Then start saving up for a 200tdi conversion

- dont bother spending money on the TD unless you want to keep it original and un molested

But it will still mean that i will drip oil everywhere which is what i am trying to avoid.
