Thread: how to reduce crankcase pressure 300tdi

I am sick of having oil going through to the turbo, hoses and intercooler. Also seem to have developed more leaks around the rocker gasket and recently the front of the exhaust/inlet manifold gasket. Without a rebuild, what are others experiences with the:

Provent, and or,

allisports crankcase breather system to combat crankcase pressure issues?

Both seem about the same price range?

Any recommendations??

Its a 300tdi, uses very little oil between services but suspect crankcase pressure getting up there which is not surprising as its done 348,000k's.

Thanks

Any of the above will only be a temporary measure at best.
Crankcase pressurisation is due to worn rings and or cylinder bores.

The only sure fix is a rebore, new pistons and rings, usually best to do the bearings at the same time, as they will probably fail anyway with the new increased pressure the "new" engine puts on them.
The rebuild you are trying to avoid, sorry.
