Provent 200? What is it.
Sorry for the doppy question but where is the provent fitted. Is it to do with the EGR or catching the oil from the crankcase ventilation PCV?

Oil blowby vapour from the tappet cover mate. Hobbling EGR is a whole different story, and would be a BAD move in a chipped 103.2014 Skoda Yeti TDI Outdoor 4x4 | Audi Q3 CFGC repower | Darkside tune and Race Cams | Darkside dump pDPF | Wagner Comp IC | Snow Water Meth | Bilstein B6 H&R springs | Rays Homura 2x7 18 x 8" 255 Potenza Sports | Golf R subframe | Superpro sways and bushings | 034 engine mounts | MK6 GTI brakes | -

To be honest still not sure what a Provent is, sounds like something to do with oil separation. What does it do?Originally posted by pom829 View Post2008 Audi S3, Phantom Black Metallic, 6 Speed Manual, Sunroof, Leather, Bose Stereo, S3 Black Optics Grill, 2011 darkened Rear lights.

And a catchcan is used to separate out the oil from the crankcase fumes that are fed into the inlet tract (to burn the crankcase emissions). This greatly reduces the build up of gunk in the inlet tract cause by combination of this oil with the exhaust gas from the EGR (to reduce exhaust gas temp and Nitrous Oxide emissions).
It won't make more power but should make you DPF and EGR valve last longer and keep your engine running better by keeping the inlet tract from getting constricted.

Exactly, its a super efficient catch can with a renewable internal filter and over 90% efficient. Every diesel should have one, as whilst it doesn't increase power, it maintains it, as the stock diesels and petrols to a lesser extent clog up with oil blowby and their exhaust gas recycling forming sludge in the inlet. This causes everything from power loss, poor economy to jamming up moving parts and coating valves. Cheap insurance. Vital if you have a DPF in the MkV GT, or any Mk6 diesel.2014 Skoda Yeti TDI Outdoor 4x4 | Audi Q3 CFGC repower | Darkside tune and Race Cams | Darkside dump pDPF | Wagner Comp IC | Snow Water Meth | Bilstein B6 H&R springs | Rays Homura 2x7 18 x 8" 255 Potenza Sports | Golf R subframe | Superpro sways and bushings | 034 engine mounts | MK6 GTI brakes |Comment

Thanks all, sounds useful especially if I want to keep the keep car. Are they easy fit.
Are then any pics of one installed in a mk6 Golf TDI.2008 Audi S3, Phantom Black Metallic, 6 Speed Manual, Sunroof, Leather, Bose Stereo, S3 Black Optics Grill, 2011 darkened Rear lights.

Sorry Kaan baby, but I did say any mk6....only skoda may have had a dpf pre mk6, or have I missed something. I don't know about BMW or Merc etc, well not yet anyway!
Pom I reckon they are pretty easy to fit, but if you hold on a few weeks I will have up a website with a lot of info. It really comes down to mounting the can, and I'm working on brackets to suit. It's close...but if you are half handy and in a hurry feel free to buy a provent and hose from any of the better filter suppliers, such as Western Filter in Sydney. They are good guys.2014 Skoda Yeti TDI Outdoor 4x4 | Audi Q3 CFGC repower | Darkside tune and Race Cams | Darkside dump pDPF | Wagner Comp IC | Snow Water Meth | Bilstein B6 H&R springs | Rays Homura 2x7 18 x 8" 255 Potenza Sports | Golf R subframe | Superpro sways and bushings | 034 engine mounts | MK6 GTI brakes |Comment

You've got my attention, it certainly makes sense having spent a fair amount of cash buying the car. I'll wait out for your website. Will you be selling the Provent kits along with installation instructions and would it fit in the space beside my APR intake.

Greg is the man when it comes to diesel tech / know how.
Keep you fingers and toes crossed that his site is up and running soon!
As for where to place it, the new found space next to your APR intake would be my choice also!!!
Maybe good to add your interest to Gregs previous thread, wait for the website to be up and running or maybe just drop Greg a PM.MY18 VW Passat Alltrack Wolfsburg Edition + Panoramic Sunroof + some extra goodies... (Pure White)

Yes mate you have the ideal setup in my opinion, and the bracket I have for the GTI will most likely work for you. I will have comprehensive instructions as well as HD video, been getting set up to put a lot of that up on you tube to help people DIY and get the tinker bug : )Originally posted by pom829 View Post
Thanks for the kind words ope, I still have much to learn, but when no one this side of Europe does much Euro diesel, it's not hard to look half smart!
