OK i need someone to post detailed instruction for fitting a oil catch tank, im sorry im just silly and cant work it out!
seriously i need oil catch tank fitting guide for the extremely stupid, pictures and all !!
Thanks in advance

 

p1mark is your man..... has posted a detailed fitting guide over on the p1 owners forum..worth joining for the info available on there

thats the link,but you might have to register to view it

 

If you want stupid pics.......mine pretty well fall into that category

A is the inlet manifold
B is the inlet pipe
C is the turbo
D is the PCV valve
E is cam breather spigot on inlet pipe
F is cam breather pipe
G is crankcase vent tube
H is crankcase breather spigot on inlet pipe
I is crankcase breather pipe

the scissor points are where you need to cut the pipes leaving enough room to bung the pipes with a bolt or custom bung.

Here is what you end up with!

A is a 1/4" BSP bung to replace the PCV valve
B is a bung for the cam breather spigot.
C are bungs for the crankcase breather spigot and the original pipe to the PCv
D is a T piece
E is the catch tank
F is a little filter

How to do it-

First you need to decide where you want to put your catch tank so you know where to feed the pipes towards.

I have put mine just in front of the battery. You have to relocate the horn a little, you can see i have just made a little ally bracket to do this.

If you remove the strut brace and intercooler you will get access to the crankcase breather. Its on the block, just to the right of the turbo. This is a pic looking from behind the engine.

o.e set up is the pipe running to the lower left goes to the PCV.cut this close to the crankcase vent tube and bung it as per the diagram.

Undo the 4 throttle body bolts and move the body out the way. you will then be able to pull the pipe off the PCV valve and remove the valve from the manifold. Replace it with a 3/8"BSP bung with a bit of PTFE tape on.

The other pipe on the upper left normally goes to the inlet pipe spigot at the top right. Cut this off and blank the inlet pipe bit off (I have used nice turned ally bungs as you will see in another pic but if you don’t have access to a lathe a bolt and clip will do)

Replace the cut pipe on the breather with a couple of foot of 12mm or ½” flexible pipe. Route this pipe towards the area at the front right of the manifold just behind the oil fill pipe. Because my engine was out I have routed it through the manifold and it comes out neatly between the two legs of the manifold but this might not be easy with the engine in situ.

The cam cover breathers exit from under the front of the manifold and travel left to join the inlet pipe just after the 90 deg. Bend. Pull the pipe off the inlet pipe and feed it the other way behind the alternator and air con pump. Block the inlet pipe hole in the same way as you did for the cranckase vent (note I have used a new bit of pipe for this breather because it was easy for me to put on while I had the manifold off. It may not be as easy with it on, hence just use the original).

Your two pipes should now meet up somewhere behind the oil cap filler area. Put a 12mm tee piece into them, then run another piece of hose to the catch tank from the tee (the blue pipe in pic).

It would be nice if the tee and the catch tank nozzle were the same diameter but my catch tank spigots are 10mm. I could not find a tee piece with 2 X 12mm and 1 X 10mm on it so I have used 12mm pipe for this run and had to tighten it hard down onto the nozzle.

One more piece of hose running down under the car from the outlet and its job done. I have put a mini filter on the end of this to try and cut down on any potential smell in the car but that’s up to you. You need a loger hose than the one in the pic so it reaches under the car.

Job done

 

thanks guys will attempt it soon!!

 

well the link was ok......... mark's follow up post's finished it off lol

 

did this on my old classic...should i do this to MY03 also? or is there no need?


Great write up BTW...

 

right, need to get this done as my boost sensor has become contaminated for second time and get massive power loss under hard acceleration

 

CHEERS THAT SAVED ME A LOT OF SEARCHING KIP

 

Thats better...(thanks goes to p1mark for the original post above, I have only uploaded the pictures for easier viewing)
