Catch Can

[DaveH]

Has anyone put a catch can on their diesel? Though my NT has only done 21000kms I noticed there was a build up of engine gunk on the inside of the tube from the air filter to the turbo, Not wanting to eventually clog the intercooler I thought a catch can might be the way to go but I cannot see a good spot to locate it that is not over the turbo itself.

I have an automatic and TJM snorkle. The windsceen washer bottle would have been a good spot but it is taken.

Thoughts and if possible a photo would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance, David

Hi mate, this is how I fitted mine

I don't have a snorkel, but can't be that much of a difference.

I built my own and it works a very well.
I've got a small ball valve on the drain outlet with and extension tube so I can drain it when I remember to.
It does pick up the oil just as it's designed to do.

Oil catch can.

I have fitted a Pro Vent 200 to my NT diesel, mounted on front of the air filter housing near the right head light. its a black plastic can with a filtration system
in side, it looks like its part of the original engine fit up.

Thanks for the pictures Andrew. Where you put the catch can is just the spot where the windscreen washer bottle is located if you have a snorkle. Might try and see what I can do to move things around in this area. Your pictures have given me an idea.

Davie, thanks for your pics but my second battery is located here. Guess I have too much under the bonnet. Regards David
