its your oil breather

few people run the pipe into a catch tank to stop it going back into the TIP

I've got one to fit - just need my car back lol

[vw-8v]

think it cld be the reason i'm loosing oil as cant find a leak and this does seem to leave a trace running doen bk of the engine? i'm loosing a far amount say 3ltrs since i got it last nov, just done service with other stuff lol and looks like the bushes are all wrong so off the wishbones come again to get some one diff to push them in right  also timming and aux belts getting done tomorrow not cheap

lol also apart from catch tank?i assume like on racing bike(will look it up) is there a reason for the excess oil is it noirmal?

and what a tip?

cheers

It won't be the reason you're losing oil

Mine doesn't use a drop between services (except this one lol) so you got other problems

TIP =  turbo intake pipe
