rejo Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Anyone run the breathers from axles etc in the filter housing as opposed to the top of the snorkel. After removing egr and gubbins there is a redundant pipe on the side of the filter housing, the only minus point I can think of is either vapours or oil might be sucked through these and then directly into the intake side .... if you get my drift.

I have always run mine up the snorkle ,the only draw back i can think of is oil vapour in the inlet track/filter that will attract any dirt to stick to it .If you rolled the car theres a (remote) chance oil would fill your filter box . only a thought!!!!

freeagent Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 I've run the breather from my front axle into the side of the airbox on my 300Tdi disco... the rear axle breather goes up into the rear quarter panel via a rubber grommet in the floor (used by rear lights wiring lomb) I've never had any problems with oil being sucked up the breather....
