[gldgti]

would you like me to send you copies for reference?

I would like you to post them up for me to look at! (In a new thread)

I took mine off today,
simply I'm over it.
and its barely connected any oil during 15,000kms( less than 100ml)
going to put it in the sale section.

How much do you want it to collect? Sounds like its doing a worthwhile job to me. Anyway, your loss will be someone elses gain.

Anything will fit!!!

here's mine mounted to the back of my Battery Tray:





Also the filter does not have to be replaced every 10k km but probably 50k km. so putting it where I have, only means uncliping a few sensors above it. I think it is harder to get my oil filter out the way it is stuffed in there!

Nice Job!

I am having trouble fitting my provent

The only place I can find to install it on the T4 would require 3 meters of hose! Is the provent the still working right or is this simply a too long way to travel for the oil vapors?

[Transporter]

In that case, I would keep the hoses as straight as possible with the minimum bends, also would use 25mm hose. Can you relocate anything in the engine bay?

Hi Greg. I had a look at the installation video on carformance. Where does the one way pcv valve fit?? and you had stated earlier that you were looking at different hoses (it all comes down to the hose.). Which one do you think is the best??

I am looking at installing in a Passat 125 TDI MY08.

[Greg Roles]

The one way PCV valve is only used for a return to sump, and this is NOT recommended, especially on a modern car. Sure I do it, but I'm accepting the possible risk.

The best hose is normal rubber 3/4" hose, as it;s cheap and does seem to be lasting much longer than expected. You just need adaptors to space it up to 1" / 25mm to suit the Provent, and I've also seen guys bond 3/4" inside 1" hose with specific loctite glue.

There WILL be full Provent kits being released in the next few months, at long bloody last. Pray my house sells for a fortune tomorrow, as that's basically funding the process!

Flickr is crap for posting pics onto forums... use Photobucket.

I bought my Provent then fitted it... It is so much easier to put the provent into location and then you can see what works and not for routing the pipe work.

I pretty sure that position behind the drivers headlight will NOT work as the diesel filter is in the way.

Also the filter may not seem tall... but when you add a 3cm elbow to the bottom to redirect the colected oil... it adds to the overall height of the unit.

Note that routing any tubing around the back of the engine cover you must be careful as that is where all the turbo exhaust outlet/Dump pipe goes and if you have a 125TDI the DPF - and it gets hot back there.

Hmm. Ok. Have ordered Provent tonight. I will try and see what works once I have it in my hands. Will get the tubes etc once position is decided. I am surprised at how limited photos are there with regards to the passat and any CCV filter installation. Most of them are pre 2004 on the net lol. All the new ones are for golf TDIs.

[Greg Roles]

I will work on that, am overdue to do a proper Provent install article.

Golf TDI and Jetta / Passat TDI all virtually identical, Passat has the GT TDI / GTD engine in the TDI version, so the layout / space should be the same.

Gig is onto it, no way you could fit a Provent on the drivers side with a lot of relocation work.

[sn809]

Thanks Greg and Gig. Took your advice and have thought of a different plan.

Has any one thought about moving the Air hose by twisting it to the right. It will make the pipe face towards the battery and move it to a horizontal location.

An opening I am thinking of using for the drain, but is it going to hamper the joint??

Bolt I am thinking of using to secure a plate and also intend to use a tie.

I know it is a low pressure system so not bothered about that but the temperatures in the surrounding and for the gasses it self is a bit of worry for me as I am going to do a fair bit of highway travel and want to do this install before I go.

What temp range is to be expected inside the system and out side as well.
The Ryco Defiant would be a very good hose to use as it is very flexible thin but reinforced enough not to collapse, as per their website

Tube:
Black, oil resistant synthetic rubber. (Nitrile).
Reinforcement:
Textile reinforcement with spiral wire to prevent collapsing.
Cover:
Black, oil resistant and abrasion resistant synthetic rubber.
Temperature Range:
From -40°C to +100°C (-40°F to +212°F).

And that is where the problem lies I am sure the temp is going to be a lot higher.

I bought some of this gear for mine, still waiting on it. Also nitrile and only to 100deg. I don't think that is a problem, shouldn't be that hot.

I also found this - eBay Australia: Buy new & used fashion, electronics & home d
but I wanted black nitrile.

I bought some clear vinyl tube and a irrigation tap from bunnings for the drain as well as SS clamps for the main tubing.
