spark plug, catch oil tank and intake cleaning

[Arsouille]

a little maintenance 8)

new spark plug


disassembly of the intake manifold and cleaning valves with the dremelle and scrapers.

aspiration of debris with a taped piece 8)

my cleaning photos are very blurry :headbang:

the catch oil tank kit 8)
i hope to keep the admission clean with that
it has to be adapted but there is enough hose length


unclip the oil hose


put the metal fitting for the new hose
file two notches for the original hose clips hang



I replaced an original screw with a large screw to fix the catch oil tank from below


remains to cut the hoses to the right length and put the hose clam

Oil catch can is an absolute must on any direct injection engine, you can also guage the health of your engine by the amount of crud it catches. I fitted one on my 35i and posted the process on here.

Is that catch can on the low or high pressure ventilation?

I didn't bother with a catch can on my 35i as only the high pressure side is easily available and that is only active when the car is on boost. The majority of the contamination is going to be passing back into the engine from the low pressure CCV and you need to butcher your valve cover to access that.
