Provent 200? What is it.

[pom829]

Thanks all, sounds useful especially if I want to keep the keep car. Are they easy fit.

Are then any pics of one installed in a mk6 Golf TDI.

Sorry Kaan baby, but I did say any mk6....only skoda may have had a dpf pre mk6, or have I missed something. I don't know about BMW or Merc etc, well not yet anyway!

Pom I reckon they are pretty easy to fit, but if you hold on a few weeks I will have up a website with a lot of info. It really comes down to mounting the can, and I'm working on brackets to suit. It's close...but if you are half handy and in a hurry feel free to buy a provent and hose from any of the better filter suppliers, such as Western Filter in Sydney. They are good guys.

Cheers Greg,

You've got my attention, it certainly makes sense having spent a fair amount of cash buying the car. I'll wait out for your website. Will you be selling the Provent kits along with installation instructions and would it fit in the space beside my APR intake.

Cheers....

pom829,

Greg is the man when it comes to diesel tech / know how.
Keep you fingers and toes crossed that his site is up and running soon!

As for where to place it, the new found space next to your APR intake would be my choice also!!!

Maybe good to add your interest to Gregs previous thread, wait for the website to be up and running or maybe just drop Greg a PM.

Yes mate you have the ideal setup in my opinion, and the bracket I have for the GTI will most likely work for you. I will have comprehensive instructions as well as HD video, been getting set up to put a lot of that up on you tube to help people DIY and get the tinker bug : )

Thanks for the kind words ope, I still have much to learn, but when no one this side of Europe does much Euro diesel, it's not hard to look half smart! I'd be outgunned over there!

Guys I am looking into this Provent through this thread, I have a couple of noob questions, is there a kit available fo a new T5 132 kw Biturbo motor? will this effect my 3 year warranty? and last but noit least installing on how easy is it? if i was to install one I dont want to do anydrilling, and it looks like you guys have that part fixed.

search around a bit you'll find the answers your looking for.

No kits as yet, but am close to a universal kit, just down to the correct hose selection.

Waranty is always a difficult question, but a Provent is made by Mann and Hummel, who make most of the VAG OEM filters and are a very well known company, and as it actually decreases the likelyhood of oil grunge buildup and the associated problems, you would think the dealer would love you for fitting one, but car companies are odd about these things.

In a T5 there's tons of room, so you could use an existing bolt, but to be honest all my efforts are in the passenger car area right now, as I've been promising this to the Golf/Polo/Tig clan for far too long. I'm sure a T5 setup would be a piece of cake in comparison, as space is always the issue.

I promise you it's close, but when you're one guy working on the side, on a budget, it's not as fast as anyone would like!
