On the TD4 all you need to do is stop the EGR valve from opening by disconnecting the small vacuum pipe, presume the Discovery is the same just make sure you block the vac pipe. You can try blocking the exhaust inlet pipe but whatever you use needs to be substantial, not like some really cheap EGR bypasses.

Hi Nick, to get rid of all the oil in your intake system is an easy job, just block off the cyclone (or for the older ones tampax model) outlet and that's it. Don't know whether that should be such a good idea though.
Thanks Willo, after seeing the results of a blocked filter on one of the previous threads don't think I'll botherHi Nick, to get rid of all the oil in your intake system is an easy job, just block off the cyclone (or for the older ones tampax model) outlet and that's it.

Hi Nick,
Co-incidentally I had reason to remove & replace the 90degree bend hose on my truck today - surprisingly little oil - just a trace - and definitely not the messy black gunge that used to lurk around there.
A wipe with a paper towel was all it needed.
I didn't really need to remove it completely - but thought I'd just have a look inside. My problem is that the hose moves a little after a month or two and I need to re-position it so it will not eventually slip off or leak. Even 'T'-Bolt hasn't stopped it.
Permanent solution of course is a bend with arms a cm or two longer.

Thanks Willow,I never realized that there were 5 or 6 star allen keys.I do use the Torx bits on my Harley,I will check it out,I nearly always buy tools that are not nesaary the most expensive but mid way in price.Any way thanks Im now having a look in the machine mart book for 5 star allen keys.

Be careful there are many types. I have both 5 and 6 star torx bits.
I bought the 'security' torx bits (they have a hole in the centre to fit the little pin sticking up) as they fit the 'non-security' screw-heads too.
I first needed them to change the MAF.

I recently purchased this little set to remove the MAF, bit TP25H in the picture was the correct size.

It's the boost pressure sensor and is held onto inlet manif with one bolt. Best to take it off first!!

My 1995 300 tdi has the small (about 3/4 inch)breather hose connected to the large engine air hose between the air filter box and the turbo inlet so the crankcase/rocker cover has the air sucked out.
I want to stop the oily air being sucked into the turbo.
If I take the breather hose off the large hose, do I need to connect it to a waste can or an air filter of some sort?

I have started the job and am as far as about to change the 'oil vortex' or whatever it is called.
Is it just a matter of taking the old filter out and dropping this new bmw part in?
Not stripped that part down yet.
The manifold is soaking in mr muscle oven cleaner.

Might be better if you asked in the Discovery section, you may end up with the crankcase pressurising if you let the hose vent to atmosphere.
