ok i been brave today and done some work on the cossie (well removed the battery )


now the breather i got is a ML developments jobby


its got 4 outlets, hooooge one on the bottom, smaller pipe off bottom and then 2 pipes at top

question is whats the small pipe at bottom ment to be connected too


curantly its leading onn the other side on the engine, is that right or not


also whats the inside of a breather mennt to be like as this one as a type of wall seperating the top from the bottom outlets]


it seems clean in there too , aint it ment to be dirty in there


also whats the thing one of the breather pipes are connected to that leads down where the plenum is



can ya tell ive removed it yet


im acutally gona polish this one aswell

 

Ginge......................the hooge one at the bottom vents to air,the small one at the bottom drains oil back into the sump via the fitting on the turbo side of the engine at low level,and the two at the top got to the rocker cover(you`ll have to put a fitting in)and the original breather......

Rob....

 

thats exaclty how mines done



i took it out as igot told would be full of shite




its not, well its dirty outside


the small one on bottom is on the same side as the top parts, not on the vent to air side as theres that wall there


there was no pipe on the bottom of it though , gonan fit me blue ones now ( only had em since essex group show day

 

Got confused here mate .......is this already on your motor....

 

is the small one on the bottom returning to your sump and the big one got nothing connected

 

yeah it was, just im wondering why its clean inside


was told they alll get full of crap


cheers for advice, was also making sure its routed correct way too


and it is

 

The wall by the way is a seperator to stop the oil mist blowing out to air,the oil then gathers in the bottom and drains back to the sump...


If its quite clean inside it means your motor is mint and not breathing too much

 

yeah big ones got no pipe at bottom, i got told im ment to have a pipe routing it under the car to avoid smells

 

not from the noises it makes , thats why i was checking, might just be i got no oil in it


not breathing much is a good thing then , thats one off the check list

 

some people just put a little k+n type filter on the big one,or a pipe as you say..

Looks like your motors good anyway m8...

 

dont forget to check your oil daily.......mine used to do a sumpfull in aweekend if i drove it like a tw@t.....

 

update, missus is shouting at the bad smell comming from the front room saying

"That better not be brought car parts in the house i can smell "


i cant smell it unless me nose is under it though


guess it must have been in use

 

, thats what im thinking the knocking noise is, hence why im not starting the car


it looks fast, just dont start it and i dont wanna cry


theres no oil under car though but its deffo got various oil leaks, that then leads me to belive its comming from a gasket when under preasure


not sure if thats a good sign or not though

 

Top the oil up mate and see how she is.......
pmsl at your missus m8.........I got one just like that..

 

well we moved and the garage aint close, her only rule was no car bits, i can get car memrobilia in the house, no oily stuff

ah well,


btw could i clean it in the dish washer ( when she pops to the shops obviously )

 

Cossies gotta be the only car in the world were the fooking bonnet hinges wear out before anything else.....

 

Don`t put it in the dishwasher m8 it`ll stink for weeks.....
She`ll fooking kill ya..

 

thats cause all the rest of it breaks


wait till i get the next car on the road , cossie will be gone

 

ill turn it off now then

 

 

, all sorted
