Sack13 Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Hi gang, Quick question, is it worthwhile for me to install an oil catch can on my MK2 focus 1.6 TDCI? And if so, any recommended products? Thanks in advance, Sam 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance, Sam It is well worth fitting an oil catch tank to prevent your intercooler from filling with oil but Theres only one model of oil catch tank which will fit your engine mate, It has to be a 25mm inlet and outlet you see, fitting anything smaller will prevent the breather system from working and damage the engine. see guide: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah they're out of stock, I contacted the shop and they're gonna be another 2 weeks until they're available again. But that's 2 weeks closer to payday!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sack13 Posted February 19, 2017 Author Share Posted February 19, 2017 Just as an addition, is it worthwhile cleaning the intercooler after fitting the catch can? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be well worth cleaning it out because it won't be collecting oil anymore after the catch tank is fitted 👍 take care not to damage the fins when cleaning, perhaps remove intercooler and fill it with petrol and leave it for an hour to break down the oil then pour it out in to a bottle id somthing then leave it to dry for a bit prior to refitting, You may also like to paint it black👇 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
