etm and breather clean

[graemewelch]

today i set about the task of cleaning the etm and the breather and breaking a few pipes. the main problem being a bit flat as it comes on boost and theres oil leaking out of the outlet side of turboand oil around the plugs. i was hoping it was a blocked breather or block oil return. ill check oil return when the car is back together. what i found was oil in the boost pipes and oil on the throtle body. ive given it a good clean. ill put it back together once ive flushed the breather box out and ordered some new pipes.

I gave my ETM a clean a few months ago. It took me 7 - 8 hours of solid work to get the piggin' thing off, cleaned and put back on. I won't be doing that in a hurry again....

Best of luck with it all though. :)

Took me roughly a hr to remove manifold and one very aukward bolt that i couldnt get to. Got there in the end though

Remove the manifold? That actually isn't necessary as you can get to the bolts from underneath the ETM, but you'll have to take the radiator fan out.

Im not just doing etm though. Im doing the breather system to. Kill two birds with one stone
