Hi all - New Patrol owner I just purchased a 2004 3.0TDi Patrol and it has a very slight bit of oil around turbo inlet (nothing like the photos posted). From reading the thread looks like it might be the PCV oil mist as mentioned. I asked my local auto parts about a PCV filter but he didn't know of any.
Can you buy the filter (or catch can) mentioned in this thread or is it made up stuff?
Any info or photos appreciated
Thx

Welcome to the forum Ken, where are you from?

Have a look on EBay for "Mann-hummel Provent 200".

Thanks for quick reply Tony.
I'm new here so didn't see the other pages in the thread and see you already had this info posted.
Have you had yours installed for long and any comments on how it is performing?
Thanks again

Good to have another S.E. Queenslander on board.

Mines been fitted for more than a year now and has performed faultlessly, although in that time the car has done less than 4000km. From other reports I have read from people who have tried other types of catch cans and PCV filters the Provent 200 is by far the best.
You can also hook these up to auto drain back to the sump which is something I would like to do to mine when I get time.

If you need any help finding your way around the forum all you need to do is ask.

When you get a minute drop by the introductions page and tell us a bit about yourself and your Patrol.

Hi there, been looking at the reference doc about blocking EGR, I haven't seen anything about wiping it electronically from the ECU? My local tuning company in the UK offers this service (don't know if they can do it to a Patrol). Has anyone over there any experience of blocking it electronically - and know of any downfalls of doing it? In the UK there is no legal requirement (yet) to have the EGR working.
Cheers

I think it's cheaper, easier and if necessary more easily reversible to just fit a blocking plate.

I thought that would be the case. Thanks Tony
