Ford dealership cost to install oil catch can

after about 2000 miles I had about 7ml of oil! This pic was before I installed 135 degree bend, originally as in the pic, I used another 90, but as you can see, it comes up to high which prevents the engine cover going on and slightly kinks one of the tubes, 135 and its perfect allowing the pipe from the breather outlet to go above the return pipe.ДЄfter a few days driving, it had collected this. The next fun bit was plumbing it in, there's even less room to route 26mm silicone tubes around the car than I had realised!ДЎmx25mm ID of reinforced silicone tube (must be reinforced or it will bend)ДЄ long bolt, approx 10cm, some washers and a nut to matchДЇrom breather, Hose down to 90 bend then to can.Д¬an out to 90 bend, 6 inches of hose up to side of battery box,ДЎ35 degree bend, hose back to intake pipe. This is the model I ordered, guy was really helpful and there is plenty of room to customise.ДЇinding a location to install it was a pain, this car is tight, I found I nice wee spot under the airbox. I couldn't find anyone in the UK selling a can to my spec so a mate of mine suggested this chap from the states. The tricky bit was the size of the breather outlet, on the 1.6tdci your looking at a 22 mm diameter breather, you will need to keep it this wide or risk restricting the breather system working, other engines are likely smaller. The oil passes in to the can as vapour, is held with a special mesh, condensed in to a liquid and collects in the base of the can where it can be drained. I decided on fitting an oil catch can, designed to be a closed loop system. One of the things I read about was the breather pipe dumping oil in to the intercooler and eventually working up in to the inlet manifold.ДЄt best this oil degrades the efficiency of the intercooler, at worst it can contribute to carbon deposits in the sump, turbo and inlet manifold binding with soot from the EGR. After reading much about the wonderful 1.6 tdci engine I compiled a list of things I wanted to do to help try and minimise the risks associated with it and its turbo.
