Ive got a catch can ive never fitted and stored for years so im just going to use that especially as ive bought all the bits to pipe it up now. Did you drill the bodies to fit the pipe or was it already there? On my 1.8 there is no vac pump so to get any vac at all i had to drill the bodies but ive blocked the hole up now the 6 has a vac pump.
I haven't driven the car much as need to fit the filter - Sound like it wants to eat small children and animals :p
Will probably fit the catch can once I've moved the battery.
Was tapped into the longman manifold and not the bodies. Should really have another into the 3rd manifold joint, a job for a later date.

When you get some slim line fans, dont get cheap ebay copies. Get some Spal's. Yeah they are a lot more expensive but on my 6, when i had the ebay copies in traffic the temps would just climb and climb. I replaced them for same size Spal's (exactly the same design) and the temp would sit perfect no matter what the conditions. Made a huge difference! Plus they were virtually silent which is nice
Anything to keep me out of mischief :p
..plus I had some freed cash from a bonus so timing was nice.
Thanks, go me some Spals from demon-tweaks
phew..what a day!
Heres me thinking easy jobs for the day:
Remove the aircon
Relocate the PAS
Install the backing plate and airfilter
Install and wire up the fans to the OMEX
Did it go to plan...buggered if it did!!
AUX belt off, auto tensioner off, AC pump off, PAS pump off.
Simple - yay!
Mounting bracket for the PAS pump doesn't fit.. Tried everything I could but nope *sigh*
Since I'd cut the pipe couldn't put it back to the original place. So for the time being it's off and will be chatting the company who supplied it on Monday.
Next up the backing plate... why oh why are the bolts on the inside of the bodies facing out to the horns..?!?
Cuts and bruised knuckles, and sometime later backing plate and filter are on!
Onto the fans
Could find the console lead for the OMEX and was getting arsey at this point, so wired the fans back into the original relays and called it quits!
Ohhh quick question - how do you get the joiner off the PAS pump?
