Provent / catchcan fitment kits.

Not only that. The airbag fault will need to be reset with the scanner. So for some it's better if they keep the voltage in the system when the battery is out.

Really what models get an airbag fault? I haven't ever seen one on mine.

Cant say i have either.

I've always been taught to disconnect the battery if Im working under the hood

The possiblility is there - on my Mk3 Golf TDI it happened when I disconnected the battery once but not since - This one time was hence why I bought a Vag-Com (VCDS) cable!!!!

On My 2011 Mk5 Jetta, We diconnected the Battery then Swapped over a Mk6 GTI Steering Wheel with Paddles and Different Airbag... and Aigbag light did not come on.

Go figure!

Couldnt do it. Althpugh the provent and the tubes got connected I couldnot find a proper support for it. Will have to get someechanic to do it after the trip.
Thanks everyone for the suggestions and help

Greg... I have an Idea for a Sump Return for the Provent and wanted your input.

Because I cannot use your method as my Provent is mounted lower than the oil filer, I have been toying with the idea of a drain directly to the sump.

1) Either a CNC'd 20mm spacer for the TEMP [strikethu](or Oil Level sensor)[/strikethu] that is on the back of the sump (125TDI) . Drill and Tap a barbed fitting on the side to attach a hose to and then the Provent one way valve... but this is the expensive option and don't know if it alter the sensors functionality.

Better option... I have just purchased some Fumoto Oil Drain Valves for my VW cars... now here is what I'm thinking.

2) Add the Long Fumoto Adapter (25mm) between sump and Fumoto valve... 25mm is enough space to drill and tap the adapter and add a brass barbed fitting here without compromising the threads of the Valve inside where the adapter screws in. Also probably braze or silver solder in place to handle the pressure so it does not leak. It is much lower than the Temp/Oil Level sensor.

To do it you 1st have to test fit the adapter and mark which side to drill the hole for the barbed fitting.

What are your thoughts on 2)

Cheers

Did an oil change and took a good look under the car.
Installed the Fumoto oil valve but had to use an adapter due the sump plub being slightly resessed. Had to double copper washer the adapter so as to bring the valve tap to 11, oclock other wise it was sitting 6 o'clock and lower than the sump.

1) seems to be a temp sensor not a oil level sensor as it is at the botom rear of the sump

2) the oil gets mighty hot need to malke sure that the hose is capable of holding hot oil mixture.
also thought about brazing a copper pipe to the adapter to bring the hose mounting point above the oil level.
there seems to be plenty of room behind the sump... issues are clearence from engine movement and also keeping the pipes and hoses away from the exhaust which it nearly right above the sump plug.

Sorry to dig up an old thread. How have the Provents been going? Im considering putting one on my Passat 125 TDI.

Pretty good. I've done over 100,000km in my T5 and have almost no deposits in the intake.

I take it this relates to pre CR engines - or both?.

It relates to both. Even the newest TDI engine will greatly benefit from Provent200 instal, since there is a lot of oil entering via PCV system.

I'm about to set up two in series in the Yeti, so my vote is "essential".
