Now to find a way to get the Peugeot caps, even though I purchased and installed the BSH port, it would look better if it was gone, and one less hose to worry about since I already have a port installed for the Helix BOV.

Audi (USA) has the same caps, FYI. Comes on the 4.2L V8 S5. Same green dot and all.

Definite markup there....I paid $10 for both shipped from Germany.Convenient that its the the States and definitely easier to access. Honestly....what's $20 in the long run....just get em from Audi it'll save you some time.

Yeah 2...1 goes on the intake manifold on the drivers side and 1 goes on the passenger side of the valve cover

Let me definitely clarify for those who dont know this...The PCV delete should ONLY be done if you have a catch can or else you will cause serious damage to your engine. Keep that in mind..

I added OCC a couple days ago and was up at the dealer today getting some work done. The mechanic...really nice guy...suggested that I take it off because of some problems he has seen through the shop. He said that the hose going to the catch can runs uphill, builds up sediment and causes problems. Anyone hear of anything like this?

Haven't heard of any issues. Had mine on for 8 months.
Still collecting water (when the conditions are right) and a little
oil (very little).

The shop foreman at my local dealer told me he hasn't seen any problems caused by oil catch cans.

Yeah...I thought is was strange. He said he was into modifying his 2011 Clubman, but the OCC wasn't a good idea.

I got the caps from another user on the forums a while ago I did the PCV delete right after the OCC. Then sea foamed my car....runs flawlessly

He was a nice guy so me must be right

No seriously though...if you're worried about it just install the catch can somewhere down low maybe where you can't even see it like behind the radiator or something?

But the OEM hose it replaces also runs uphill, so what's the big deal?
Unless I'm missing something here.....

How'd you add/apply the Sea Foam? Have read here and elsewhere of several different ways to do this.

Well he was nice...I anted to though that in, in case guys start slinging mud at him I'm not really worried about it...thought it was strange, and never hear that one form anyone. I'm cool with where it is.

back in the engine.
