Title: Re: catch can install
Post by: andc1 on 07 April 2011, 18:03
there a smaller diameter pipe on the red one nr the dipstick that u blank of

what pipe is that?
Title: Re: catch can install
Post by: andc1 on 07 April 2011, 19:11
ok am i correct in saying that the end of where the red pipe nearest the dip sitck goes into a t piece, 1 bit goes up to the inlet manifold, this pipe you block off,  keep the other pipe and connect the red pipe to this?

(http://i666.photobucket.com/albums/vv25/scoobygolf/31122010843-1.jpg)
Title: Re: catch can install
Post by: Dave_IOW on 07 April 2011, 21:11
umm, hard to explain but once you start removing everything you will see. At dipstick end, after stripping it all down, you will be left with just a 90 bend. Attach the hose to that. Not sure where the inlet manifold pipe goes to originally but sure its not PCV vlve directly.

When i removed mine, i just saw it dangling down after stripping everythng out and read up on it and found you needed to block it.

No idea what it was actually attached to, get your hands dirty and it will all come together  :afro:
Title: Re: catch can install
Post by: andc1 on 07 April 2011, 21:32
on mine underneath connected to the inlet manifold theres a thinnner pipe that connects to a t piece that the connets to what your describing as the elbow that the red pipe connects too,  :laugh:
Title: Re: catch can install
Post by: Dave_IOW on 07 April 2011, 21:35
hmm, if if connects to the 90 degree bend itself, then leave it on, but im sure after removal of everything and conecting can up, you will have nowhere for it to go to..
Title: Re: catch can install
Post by: andc1 on 07 April 2011, 21:51
see the black lines showing the t piece im on about, do i just disconnect pipe to the grey bit(intake manifold) and block it up and connect the black and red together?

Title: Re: catch can install
Post by: GunnerCP on 07 April 2011, 22:29
shouldnt the grey bit you say be the oil filter housing?  :undecided: ohhhI think I get it, the other black line you have would go to the oil filter housing (the 90 bend with the annoying clip)

the intake manifold hose just gets chopped and plugged, getting rid of the pcv.

i'm sure it would all become faily obvious once you get started!
Title: Re: catch can install
Post by: andc1 on 09 April 2011, 16:47
so the pipe coming from the t piece into the bit circled you just block off?

Yes mate, had a look at old PCV valve today, does the pipe from inlet manifold go into the TOP of the T?

But yeah, you got it right fella..
Title: Re: catch can install
Post by: andc1 on 09 April 2011, 16:58

They are inlet/outlet. Where you dont he a mesh/grill inside that one for vapours to cool down, i dont think it would matter which way round you have them. Talking about his, dont think ive emptied mine for about 3 weeks  :grin:

not if you don't have any sort of filter in there. One thing you could put in there is some sort of gauze so there is more surface area for the vapour to hit and cool down...

i would advise against putting anything in there that has a chance of breaking up and getting sucked into the turbo. If you want a cheap home-made baffle solution.. try a cut down blade from a cheese grater.

went to install my homade catch can today, but was getting confused with the sump breather...

i think its the one near the dipstick with two 90degree bends on the tube, one end going to the engine and the other to a t-piece???

removed the t piece, and was going to just straight connect the two reaining, but couldn't get my tube over them.

i was the going to use the t piece for the install (if that makes sense?)

am i going along the right lines here?nr the dipstick u got the big elbowand a smaller hose blank off smaller one and connect to the big elbow.u remove the t piece and valve etc if im makin sense mate :smiley:
