Another thing crossed my mind. I had aux belt snept of due to failed tensioner on motorway a month ago or two...being only a 1/4 of a mile from exit I put it into N and proceed with momentum to parking lot there. Could I have damaged something by doing this? :'( :'( :'(

Breathers are clean as new...metal covers are really the last option before nervous breakdown :-X ::)

If they are clean there's something wrong, as they SHOULD have a film of oil from the crank case fumes. Can you remove the pipes at the back of the plenum breather box (Eco tech black box) and blow through them? You should be able to hear the air physically blowing into the crank case one way, and the plenum the other.

You can attach and air line, or even blow through them with your mouth if needed.


Basically the entire inlet, from behind the throttle valve, throughout the plenum, to the valve stems should be covered in a film of oil.

Not a hijack, just on the subject of breathers/camcover leaks: Every time I have checked my breathers they have always been immaculately clean. Does the fact that I always use premium unleaded have any bearing on this? :-\



Same for you shak, they should be oily. If not they are most likely blocked.

I did that when the plenum was of and I could hear air coming from the under plenum part, no blockage was there AFAIK :'( this is becoming frustrating..

Does the air reach the crank case blowing the other way?

There is a breather box behind cylinder 5. Two pipes attach there. 1 large. 1 small. These must blow through to the crank case, or they are blocked.

So if I cover one of them it should not be blocked. Let me check this now, I'll be back in a minute

This three unattached hoses go to breather box right?
If I block larhe hose and blow into another Ifeel the resistance. I can hear hissing from plenum but I get my pressure back in the face when I stop  >:(. The pressure when I blow comes out of the small unattached hose in the pic BUT poorly...lot of resistance

When I did cam covers I didn't take out breather box but I only took a piece of small wire and pushed it trough the small hose inlet just to see it's not blocked....and it wasn't :-\ :-[  Should I unbolt breather box to find if it's blocked inside? As I was reading how to's and experiences I thought it was enough to do that

All depends on how the car was treated before you bought it...

There is a picture here somewhere of the insides of the box, which helps to understand how it blocks up.

A small wire might well clear the hole, but your effectively making a hole in soft oily residue, so won't take much to block it up, even if you have successfully cleared a hole all the way through... :-\

Best thing is to acquire another box, soak it overnight in a bowl of petrol, then leave to dry in the sun, followed by a quick go in the dishwasher.

Once thoroughly clean fit to the car, but bear in mind that it requires grey goo, same as oil cooler, so will need time to cure before using the car :y

As I need to remove plenum, injectors and all unnecesary stuff away that would be the easyest acces to the breather box remove I guess.
