Does CRD GU8 require EGR block etc.

Sorry, Can't answer that Question, I have never fitted a catch can to a CRD, others have tho.
I spose any good quality catch can would do the job, all it has to do is catch and treat the outlet from the crank case (PCV), running it back to the sump is your choice.
Cheers, the ferret.

The provent fits in the the same place as your second picture for a CRD. The inlet pipe is slighty different though. Can get some photos tonight if you're interested. Can thank NissPat,sorry, NissHead for my installs!

g'day teach, i too have the 2008 gu dx commonrail and i have installed a catch can which is a very easy DIY instal and judging by what is caught in there it has to be better than fouling your maf sensor. as for the egr block i bought one from the ferret on this forum but as yet have not fitted it because of the mixed reports i have read however today i spoke to one of the blokes from ROO SYSTEMS and he told me they instal about 3 every week and as yet have not had anyone complaining about fault codes coming up he reckoned it was not very common at all so after this advice i will be installing the egr. block as soon as i get the chance. also have you done the boost and egt gauges? if not this is also well worth doing! cheers....

Just do it mate, you will not do any harm but protect your inlet manifold. Give us some feed back if you get errors or not, if temps change, etc..ALL IS GOOD.
ferret plates are the best in the country mate...you need these

Great thread and input is very helpful

Will these items affect your warranty (I am sure the egr block would if they found it)?

Or do you wait until warranty over? Will they find it during servicing?

I thinks the EGR block etc is way to go, after seeing many posts of pre CRD motors.

You'll get it on cold mornings. I am sure it is condensation mixing with oil. I used to get it a fair bit in winter.
