This cant be normal can it?

I took my engine breather pipe off today and once again it will packed FULL of Yellow gunge!!!  and i mean PACKED!  I dont see how so much moisture gets into my engine,  i NEVER loose coolent and im sure the head gasket is fine,   Why does it collect here?  It lines the intake pipes back into the throttle body!

Shall i just keep cleaning it out?  I think thats why i loose economy somtimes,  Mine is a 1.4L engine and they like to breath to run efficently.

agree.

I know its common, and i do, but for every short journy, i do one long one after it.  so would expect it to burn off?

mayo doesn't really burn off, its just gunge, just blow it out every now and then, you'll be fine

Ah goody!  could that be the cause of my intermitant ecconomy and power loss problem?  Seems to come and go!   the pipe was also kinked which wouldnt help lol

Might be, but clean out your throttle body as well, mine lost power on the M42 today, also, wouldn't idle above 600 rpm, cleaned the throttle body, and she runs like a new 'un again....kind of!
