hello hands are oily
I am trying to clean breathers and IACV etc because of stalling but I keep finding oil inside the large breather tube and air trunking and I have found a massive deposit of oil underneath the butterfly valve, is this normal?
It looks like breathers are working as the small pipe has suction.

Thanks

Oily deposits are normal in all the breather hoses and throttle body. Excess deposits are due to lack of breather cleaning maintenance

Thank you for the quick reply

Looks like large breather is blocked

But the large pool of oil directly underneath the butterfly, is that deffo okay?

Not Ok, but as said, down to restrictive breather hoses, throttle body will always collect oil when breathers are blocked

Don`t forget to clean the crankcase breather tube and ensure gasket is fitted right way

One last thing, now the small pipe has suction, is everything okay now? Do I have to remove the throttle thing as it seems like a very difficult task.

Thanks

Is there a guide for this RobG?

[terry paget]

Is the tube going down to the sump blocked? I have had two of those blocked solid with oil/grease. Had to remove from the car and force a wire, than a hose through them, to clear them. I have read long gaps between oil changes, or overfilling of sump, can cause blockage.

Do you know the location of this? I've been going off that guide with the arrows pointing to things

Thanks for the guide robG I think I'm going to clean the pipes and leave it as this looks like a scary job.

Thanks chaps 

(Not because I have tissues, a spanner, screwdriver, coat hanger and a hammer to do it with  )

False economy and a waste of time. Do the complete job
