Provent / catchcan fitment kits.

[PranK]

Without trying to spark another flare up, did these brackets ever get done? I can see a few bits on the website. I wanted some way to mount my provent into my wifes passat.

Thanks!

Nope. The stock Provent bracket is a nightmare to make a bracket for at a inexpensive cost to suit a myriad of cars...I have put it on the shelf for now, afraid you'll have to get creative!

Theres nothing a handful of cable ties cant fix!

I'm looking at the smaller Provent 150 for the Polo's, still trying to get one into the country vian Mann and Hummel for testing. You guys have limited engine bay room!!

Any progress on this front?

[AlexRO]

Hey Greg, got any left for a mk6 tdi ?

[Greg Roles]

Guys the Provent idea is still something I want to do, but it's a mission, and I need funds to put into R&D. Viezu will give me that, so for now, that is my emphasis. You can get Provents delivered from Western Filter and the like on e-bay for $170, which is a bloody good price, I have to buy quantity to make it worthwhile at that sort of deal, so again, I'm putting this in the mid to longer term basket. Grab them off e-bay for now.

The Provent 150 cost the same as the 200, flowed far less, was considerably poorer in it's design in my opinion, so if you have a diesel, you need to make the 200 fit - somewhere. You are right that zip ties are fine, the can just needs to be held to stop it flapping around, doesn't need structural support really.

As always, your advice is invaluable - I just wish the Provent 150 was in the same ball park as the 200 since there is so little room under my bonnet

BTW Do you see any problem if I downloaded and used the PWGPro 3.93 software from the Alientech site with my V-Switch? The Viezu branded version of PWGPro that I have is only 3.80.
Also, I will be dynoing my 3 Viezu maps vs the stock one for my 1.9 PD soon - would you like me to send you copies for reference?

Anything will fit!!!

here's mine mounted to the back of my Battery Tray:





Also the filter does not have to be replaced every 10k km but probably 50k km. so putting it where I have, only means uncliping a few sensors above it. I think it is harder to get my oil filter out the way it is stuffed in there!

[jamie88]

I took mine off today,
simply I'm over it.
and its barely connected any oil during 15,000kms( less than 100ml)
going to put it in the sale section.

I'll buy it.

I would like you to post them up for me to look at! (In a new thread)

How much do you want it to collect? Sounds like its doing a worthwhile job to me. Anyway, your loss will be someone elses gain.

Nice Job!

I am having trouble fitting my provent

The only place I can find to install it on the T4 would require 3 meters of hose! Is the provent the still working right or is this simply a too long way to travel for the oil vapors?

[Transporter]

In that case, I would keep the hoses as straight as possible with the minimum bends, also would use 25mm hose. Can you relocate anything in the engine bay?

[sn809]

Hi Greg. I had a look at the installation video on carformance. Where does the one way pcv valve fit?? and you had stated earlier that you were looking at different hoses (it all comes down to the hose.). Which one do you think is the best??

I am looking at installing in a Passat 125 TDI MY08.

[Greg Roles]

The one way PCV valve is only used for a return to sump, and this is NOT recommended, especially on a modern car. Sure I do it, but I'm accepting the possible risk.

The best hose is normal rubber 3/4" hose, as it;s cheap and does seem to be lasting much longer than expected. You just need adaptors to space it up to 1" / 25mm to suit the Provent, and I've also seen guys bond 3/4" inside 1" hose with specific loctite glue.

There WILL be full Provent kits being released in the next few months, at long bloody last. Pray my house sells for a fortune tomorrow, as that's basically funding the process!
