This can also be due to blocked vent hoses going to the flame trap which also may need attention.

**jonno12** · Wednesday 22nd October 2008, 11:32

when i flushed the oil out a few weeks ago i cleaned all the pipes out so hopefully it isnt any of them

The 'flame trap' is hidden under the inlet manifold. Not easy....good luck and keep us informed please?

You can also get the dipstick O rings from Rufe too,cheap as chips but well worth doing.

any more info? was it a blocked breather causing the oil to blow out of the filler cap and pop the dipstick out?

**cameron** · Monday 23rd February 2009, 20:06

That would be my guess

About £70 for the pcv and all hoses and seals.

And about the same for labour if you cant do it yourself.

Good luck jonno, any sign of another T5 yet ?

Its a simple job re-placeing the pcv but quite time cunsuming. Set aside 4-5 hours if you doing it yourself and i should think about the same at a garage too.
