loads running ebay catch cans mate and from what ive heard they OK.. the ones with oil level the plastic tube goes rigid and cracks so are useless..

but imo if its for your pride and joy treat it to a saikou michi catch can  :smiley:

just be patient mate.. order it asap fit it as soon as it arrives.. i have some oil hose i could sell to you ?? all you would need is your adaptors and jubilee clips..

Once its fitted get it mapped its worth fitting before so your print out graph is more accurate  :smiley:

If you have more than 1 person they will combine the postage so if 4 people want them will be all 4 for the same postage price..

but then you have to repost them etc when they arrive.. worth it tho i suppose.. dunna if its worth fitting one to my TDI

Post by: GunnerCP on 15 March 2011, 22:24

If you get caught with customs fees I think it would be less as the divide was around £8 tax I think then parcel force put an admin fee of around £8 or £10... So assume you would only have one parcel force admin charge for one package!

Post by: Tommyd on 15 March 2011, 22:28

Wots the purpose of an oil catch can? Obviously to catch oil but I don't get the point. Do they improve performance? Wondered this for a while but never asked lol

Title: Re: oil catch can
Post by: AaronGS on 15 March 2011, 23:41

I have just run a group buy on the saikou michi tanks. Should be a small saving even if charged import duties (duties are charged on gifts btw so that makes no difference and they seem to be getting stopped more lately).

Anyway, the best way to save on a group buy is if folks from the same area where to order together  - saving would be about £20 per can...
