    Default Oil catch can for the CDTi 8v - Between what pipes?

    I’ve tried searching but can find pictures or a Z19DT guide.

    120 8v CDTi, catch can (wanting to bet to atmosphere).

    between what pipes does the oil catch can go?

    Is it spliced between the airbox to cam cover pipe or between cam cover and crankcase pipe?

    i took the breather pipe off the front of the rocker cover to intake pipe just before the turbo. I placed my catch tank on the rear bulkhead then fed the new hose pipes from the front rocker cover pipe to the can then from the can to the intake pipe just before turbo. It made a hell of a difference to how the car runs and it stops oil weeping out of the intake pipes and the throttle housing.
    hooe this helps

    Hi.
    I hope I'm not too late to respond to your message (I don't usually walk around here, time doesn't allow it).

    Secondly, I hope you understand everything, I am Spanish and I use translate. I will try to write it the best that I can and that San Google works miracles.

    I am going to explain to you how I have assembled the can. But honestly I cannot assure you that it is the 100% correct mode.
    If anyone knows that I have mounted it wrong, please tell me.

    if you see in the picture that you loaded, that long tube indicated with an arrow.
    I removed it and put the can entrance to the hole of the motor cover.
    I covered the other part of the tube in your photo with a cap attached to the same flange as the tube.
    and I sent the can to the atmosphere with another tube to the lower part of the car and hiding the last part of the tube in the chassis (so they don't see it the day of the inspection).

    I placed the can at the bottom of the engine because it was the only place where it didn't bother me.
    I made holes in the wheel arch to screw the support of the can and hold it tightly.


    At first I used transparent watering tubes because it was a simple test, but because I liked the product, I decided to put some real serious tubes (strong and black) because I plan to leave it for a lifetime.

    As my can does a lot of work to disassemble and has a lower screw for its drain, I made a homemade wrench to loosen the screw and empty it whenever I want (but not before putting a cut bottle underneath to collect the oil).


    Changes in the car?
    Well, I honestly don't know. Since I rode it I have made 30000km I have emptied it and what I see in the photo was the amount of oil that I found.
    the truth is that it seems very little to me (maybe I haven't put the can in its right place, I don't know).
    The only thing that I have clear is that before I had many problems with the error of the intake butterfly and had to clean it many times.
    Since I mounted the can I have not touched the butterfly again or failed again (I wish it would continue like this).


    This is all for now. I hope you have understood everything, and if you have any questions ... tell me and I will try to help.

    Regards.
