Turbo7379 3 Posted May 11, 2007 Should a 1.9 MI16 have a metal gauze in the filler cap ? There isn't one in mine but I've just found a spare 8v cap with a good gauze & I was going to swap it over . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Baz 421 Posted May 12, 2007 As above, half the reason for some of the mayo in breathing system, condensation etc i presume, then the thing corrodes and drops into the engine, the last oil pump i took out had loads of it inside. Bin it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
