For those with "breathy" diesels and oily intercoolers

That option.

Would be great if people can fit them ASAP. As long as oil change details are recorded then it is no problem if it coincides with a change or not.

Thanks Pete!

Ben, Do I need to send you some coin for postage?

Hi Alex - did you get my email?
You are supposed to send me the form I emailed (signed), along with a 3kg, self addressed, express post satchel.

For the TD5 owners - Dave (Blknight) has started a thread on fitting his in the tutorials section.

Stuart (Iggy) popped in to pick his up today (thanks Iggy). We had a look at his engine bay (TD5 110), and if it was me, I would fit it in the back left corner, just in front of the heater. It would mean the shortest hose runs (just need to keep the hoses far enough away from the turbo), and the turbo oil drain is nearby for the drain - just need to braze/weld a piece of 12mm tube to it to Tee into it. Also, the curved steel bracket could be used to attach one of the two provent mounts to.

Hopefully Stuart will be getting his fitted today, or otherwise I may give him a hand over the weekend. Will try and post some pics.

I would appreciate it is one of the Tdi owners can do likewise when they fit it.

Thanks guys - keep them coming

Managed to get the envelopes today. I will be running back and forth to the Hospital and kids so should get a chance to post.

Fitting a provent to a TD5. There are two how-to threads in the projects/tutorials section:

TD5 install pic. Hopefully the Tdi owners can use this as a guide. And hopefully this will inspire some people to fit theirs!!!

If someone can post some Tdi install pics, that would be great!

Have you simply inserted the OE hoses into the 25mm hose and tightened with a clamp? I ripped my hair out trying to find 19-25mm adaptors, without success. If that is what has been done in that pic, then I shall have no reservations doing likewise.

I contacted MANN+HUMMEL for some prices, and we have agreed that it would be useful data for us to do a field test among landie owners.

So there will be 20 elements available for litte to no cost (i.e. <$30 for the housing and filter element, and possibly FREE).

There are however a few conditions (aren't there always ;) ).
(1) You will need to fit the system yourself at own cost ASAP after delivery.
(2) After a certain number of KM that WE specify, you will need to remove the filter element, and send it to me (in a sealed plastic bag so oil doesn't get everywhere).
(3) Will need to give us info on what oil you run, how often you change oil and filters, hom many KM on engine, etc. If you do oil analysis, all the better.

WE would prefer people who do high annual km (e.g. 20k km +) , so we have the results faster.

So IF you are interested, please PM me with contact details, engine details AND how many KM per year on average.

I will try and do this on a first come first served basis, but we may end up going with 20x the same engine (but maybe not).
