Somebody Stole All My Breather Hoses!

Recommended Posts

Leon

Putting my 205 GTI "bitsa" special back together and I've realised I don't actually seem to have any breather hoses.

 

My Frankenstein engine has got:

 

Cam cover from an early 205 GTI (so no cam breather)

Oil filler pipe from a BX (I think - it was given to me by a mate many years ago) which has a smaller hose running off that attaches to what is usually the crank breather.

 

So I have :

A pipe from the SAD connected to the inlet tract as normal

A pipe from the oil filler cap connected to the other side of the inlet tract as normal

 

This leaves me with a spare hole:

At the back of the oil filler tower which would normally run down to the crankcase

 

Any advice on what to do with it? :lol:

 

Line diagram shows hoses I have in green and hoses I don't in red

 

The photo shows the the lack of crank & cam breathers

I'm a little confuddled, but if you just have a spare barb on the filler tower (?) I can't see why running it to a vented catch tank would cause any problems.
