I' learning as I go along as such and took the whole pipe off for simpliciy. the small pipe to the none return valve was disintegrating and possibly sprayed a thin mist all over the back of the engine. ordered new none return valves just in case, plan is to clean the green breather and fit an oil catch tank. The intake pipe to the turbo has in my opinion alot of oil in it so reading up on possible causes and doing everything i can find to help prevent it. Whilst you guys are here, what thoughts on the charcoal canister? My car has always had a slight dip in revs between tickover and powe

Got it off nice and easy showing a little info goes a long way, also took off some (not so) heat sheild protection from throttle cable and going to Remove the crack case breather green thing for a catch tank or a breather haven't decided yet. Some small splits in the thin hose are responible for oil mist around the back of the engine. Got lots of cleaning to do now.

Hi Fellas, My EBPV hasn' been in use for some time (see photo not sure it' fully open either?) Im so far planned to replace exhaust from turbo back de catting it simply due to rust not performance. Ive read on here to Remove throttle jack or diss connect it at least when ebpv removed, the car occasionally revved like it was on choke a few times but I put it down to its age and a 'no real problem' every now and then issue, now I don' want to risk it sticking in normal driving.

I've got a new cast one hiding in a cupboard, I told the Mrs only cost £50, I bought it on a whim just in case I need it in future and my garage is full of spare wheels, bushes, header tank, pipes, dash bits, splitter etc etc .....didn't want it to get hot and cold in thd garage till one day it needs to be fitted. If I remember right it was one of a 're run done some time ago so hopefully not a flawed one? (Cost a lot more than £50 but she would never need to know)

I've had a few cat d cars back in the day, always checked em out proper first and told none of my pals (they couldn't see how I afforded them). Always had to remember bought it for less have to sell it for less eventually. I'm sure it'll be fine after 20 years

Cheers I've not been on for a while need to catch up what everyone's talking about

Surprised there's no talk about this I love it !! Surely someone on here owns it?

Thanks for the advice, I've bought an electric bosch pump same spec as the Merc amg's, just waiting on the plug in the post but get it mounted and wired up in the meantime. I'll no doubt be on with questions along the way but thankfully the guides on here are brilliant with everyone else's experience.

Thanks for the advice everyone, im think electric is the way to go after trying to clean up the failed seal for an hour ? Looks really pitted maybe from rust or a previous replacement with too much scraping? What do you think? I think weve got an ultrasonic cleaner at work, thought about dropping it in there and see how it comes out, ive a feeling ill put new seals in them do it again.
