Thread: Fitting MANN+HUMMEL Provent to a TD5 110

Yes I want to block off the pipe that goes into the black valve on the air intake near the turbo and just take the rocker cover pipe to the pro 200 and then return oil to the turbo oil return pipe only.
Would this be ok or does the air pressure from the motor have to go somewhere other than force itself back into the oil pipe?

If you block off the air outlet from the ProVent your crankcase pressure will increase until 50 mBar and the valve in the cap of the PV will open and vent to the engine bay. If it didn't do that the pressure would continue to increase until you blow all your oil seals.

There will also be a vacuum at the air inlet to the turbo that will help draw the vapour through the Provent.

However, Stuart (Iggy) came over this arvo, so I thought I would post some pics of the EASY way to do it...

Time required: 1.5-2 hrs (this included taking pics and drinking beer )

Parts WE used (you can do it differently)
1x Provent housing and element
1x One way valve
about 400mm of 1/2" hose
about 750mm of 1" hose
8x hose clamps (4 for each size)
1x Brass 1/2" hose tail/barb fitting (1/4" BSPT thread)
50x50x3mm aluminium angle
3x M8 bolts

Tools needed:
8mm spanner/socket
12&13 mm spanners
24mm spanner
screwdriver
Drill + drill bits
1/4" BSPT tap (not 100% necessary)
Brazing equipment

Parts we SHOULD have had but didn't - 19mm to 1" adaptor (x2), Brass or plastic.

Pics and method to follow...

does the one way valve come with the kit? if not where do you buy one from.?

i have a 200 on its way, a mate has arranged 2, i have no idea what comes with the kit

i see bunnings sell 19-25 hose adaptors

Western filters on eBay sell them. IIRC about 20 bucks.

AFAIK it is an option. Recommended if the oil drain is above sump level. However in a 4x4 I think it is a good idea to always fit one.

Thanks guys.....we are thinking manual drain to keep the installs simple.

Done and dusted....went with manual drain, pretty happy with the layout of the hoses.
