Rossco 0 Posted January 20, 2004 Does anyone know how to remove the main engine breather, its bolted on beside the oil filter housing, 4 allen head bolts hold it on and according to etka theres a o-ring sealing the other end. Its an l-shape bracket. My engine is leaking oil from somewhere between the oil filter housing and this breather, i got all the new gaskets and stuff, the oil filter housing came off easilly but this bugger wont shift, im just wondering if i missed anything Ross Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted January 20, 2004 I'm guessing that this is on a 16V engine as that's the only one I know of with an engine breather where you describe... :? If it's the 1.8 (KR block) then IIRC you need to get hold of a special puller to get the breather out of the block. I had one that leaked on my MKI 16V and never managed to cure it while I had it due to the limited space in the MKI enginebay! You may have more luck with the 'rado as there is more room, and, if things get really tough, you can unbolt the front end to get at it fully... :? If it's a 2.0 16V I have no idea as I've never played with one yet, but I'd bet that Alex (aposegil) will know :wink: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rossco 0 Posted January 21, 2004 It actually came out wi a bit of leverage, couple of (gentle mind) taps wi a hammer and then a screwdriver and she was sweet, hardest part was getting the 12 year old gasket off the back of it :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
