Do you have a catch tank fitted?

andys1981 · 25-01-10, 05:04 PM

no mate, is that something i need,ave never used 1 either,they easy to fit

Assuming its a 180 then its prob oil from the throttle body woking its way dow your induction, Always a good idea to fit one to help prevent oil vapours getting in to the plenum/VIS

You can clean the TB when the top hose is removed.

A plastic bottle will look **** and will collapse due to the vacuum. Get a proper aluminium catch tank with fittings, clips and get some stronger hoses, the ones they normally supply are not long enough and they collapse due to the vacuum. Plenty of pictures on here, take a look in my album, there are a few engine bay ones in there. Ignore the blue hoses, I changed them for reinforced ones.
