there will always be someone who claims absolute perfection without one fitted. If that is the case then go your hardest. Up until this point only one other post on your topic has provided the info and comments that you desire. Sorry.is it just you just need to confirm that these modern diesel vehicles dont benefit from the fitment of a catch can? Thanks for the thought, but I am not looking for advice on fitting a catch can to my vehicle - irrespective of what the expense, or lack of it, may be. I am really more interested in 'high Km' vehicles that have not had a catch can fitted and how their diesel engine has performed, and is performing, for this 'high Km' usage. It certainly is very easy to get photographic/video evidence of "oil clogged intakes" on vehicles because of the effects of "recirculating oil fumes". SNIP~~~if any member on here wants to research searches such as oil clogged intakes etc will find the results of the effects of recirculating oil fumes from the engine. In any case in my opinion as an old tradie mechanic, a catch can can be no harm and is not a big expense compared to an engine de-coking job should it be needed. John, I probably dont quite fit your criteria as my vehicle is going in for the 90,000 service tomorrow but if any member on here wants to research searches such as oil clogged intakes etc will find the results of the effects of recirculating oil fumes from the engine.īecause your enquiry is more than likely based on your own vehicle you may find some more info if there exists forums for your make and model. In fact, in the catch can here is only a coating of oil each time I check it. With my 2014 vehicle I have actually removed very little oil from the catch can. It is now more known that it was the earlier models which could suffer his condition depending on its use.

With my vehicle, I fitted it, after research had indicated that some 200 series LCs did suffer from congested intake ports due to engine breathing oil vapour being fed back into the intake. That is all I am saying re blocking the EGR. I should point out that he total blocking of the EGR valve is easy to do but renders the vehicle illegal. I have a MY 2014 200 series LC and I have had a catch can fitted from new.įirst up, my decision was two fold in as much as the catch can is legal and does not affect vehicle manufacturers warranty and the fitting of this equipment actually gives an astute owner the ability to monitor the outcome of the fitment and its result. Thanks for trying to keep a topic actually on topic. I have been hoping for ideas as to what to do about the inter cooler and do I fit a catch can.Ī friend just brought a new Hi lux and had a catch can fitted at time of purchase but that not reassuring.

Inter cooler is another story, after market $1300 or genuine $2000 plus and both plus fitting, R & R the whole front of the car. My first concern on this expensive ute was why the oil coming out the crack, he goes on to say all modern diesel motors do have the waste oil flumes going back into the motor and second thing the courts are out whether a catch cans a good idea or not.

The oil is leaking out of the inter cooler as it has a crack in it. Later when picking car up our work shop service guy explains the oil leak. "Has your garage floor got any oil on it". 2014Īt the last service 100 000 kilometres. Nissan Navara V6 inter cooled turbo 3 litre. It is the 'high Km' vehicles that have not had a catch can that attracts my interest." "if anyone who has a 'high Km' diesel engine BUT who has had a catch can installed for many years, refrained from comment.
