Thread: oil catch can

Ive been bleeding off the vacuum line everytime I shutdown the engine so have not actually caught any oil in the can. This morning I changed out the pump check valve/spigot and vacuum hoses. Basically repeating the recall operation action. It passed the vacuum holding test. So fingers crossed.

PS Sorry about the thread hijack as this doesnt relate to engine mist- but does relate to the application of a catch can on TDV6

An Isuzu truck at work has a factory catch can,similar dia to what we used,half the height,so size vs engine capacity isnt an argument.
If my D4 wasnt under warranty I would fit one,if I could get it in writing that it wouldnt effect my warranty(never going to happen) I would fit one.

Hey Andy... So glad I saw this post!! I have religiously been reading your thread on installing the Provent 200 when I stumbled on this one! Ill get the smaller one then. Painful thing is they are the same price!! Glad to hear you have a D4 too. In 15 years when I have one Ill be reading your posts about them!
