The breather your on about isnt on my car at the moment. found many X20XEV's getting totally blocked with them on... is the breather any good?

 

[Rusty]

Helps stop crap getting to the throttle body

where is this breather to is it the box tye one on the front

 

[Kev_mk3]

it was added to later xev's to stop throttle body's being clogged - worth while mod

Yes

Thought it was made for that but found lots that are blocked solid in the scrappers and they look to be a sealed unit... is that not the case? Thinking venting into the atmos would be better and using a catch tank on mine at a later date tbh

If they're blocked then it's because they've been doing their job

I think you can clean them out with petrol/other evil solvent.

they are a very effective mod fitted to later xev's by vauxhall to help stop oil crud from blocking up the tb's and other inlet comps. if u aint got one (black box on single right front breather pipe on rocker cover) i recommend getting one. thanks for the part number
