Title: Crankcase breather vent system cleaning and windscreen wipers
Post by: Opomes on 19 March 2017, 11:06:38
Hi,

I am aware that there is the topic about the cleaning procedure here: http://oldsite.omegaowners.com//forum/YaBB.pl?num=1285583967
I am not aware though where to find the breather vent. As it says in the topic it is behind the 1-3-5 bank.
So I assume it is this one:

And I also think accessing it is possible after removing windscreen wipers and the plastic cover.
But are there any tricks to removing the windscreen wipers? Tried with pliers, but I was afraid i was going to break something.

Best regards.

That's the wiper motor ::)

Removing it will certainly make it easier to clean, but it won't help your breathers any ;D

Breather box lives on top of the block at the back of the 135 bank. The right hand bank from the drivers seat :y

As for removing the wiper arms you need to undo the nut untill a few turns but leave it on.(saves arm suddenly coming off and damaging or scrstching something)then if you dont have a small puller they need pulling and pushing in and out by grabbing the first 6inch section.should soon pop off
