Breathers
« on: 13 February 2010, 16:37:14 »
Ok just a quick question. Im planning on doing my breathers in the morning now I have everything together and theres no snow on the floor.

Is it possible to remove the breather housing or do you have to replace seals if you do this. Ive already done the ones on the plenum before but have never attempted the housing??

If it is possible is it just the four bolts, 2 on the inside next to coolant bridge and two on outside or is it more difficult  :-?

Eh? Pop the plenum off as usual, and follow the guide as Lizzy posted above  :y

Think the OP means to remove the breather housing from the block  :-? You really need to read posts properly Tunnie  ;)

Unless the 3 litre is different to the 2.5, the breather box is at the driver side, rear of the block not near the coolant bridge  :-/
