Are you refering to the breathers?

VX added a 'firetrap' to the X20XEV (Mainly Vectra's), basically it was a wire filter in a box retrofitted to the oil pipe from the sump to the camcover.

It wont fit, I know cos i tried, I have one in my garage if you want the part number ill get it for you later. I have them fitted to my 2x 16v omegas, handy for catching the mayo on short journeys.

Alot easier than cleaning the whole cam cover.

cheers

I fitted one to our 2.2, but the hose it is on needed replacing anyway, so removing that bend, and fitting one was perfect.

Flame Trap Breathers are fitted to Rover V8's too :y

If you clean out the breathers properly on you car then keep the engine oil changed regular you should have no problems with your breathers at all..
