    Does fitting one of these affect your Citroen warranty ? You'd think not as it's designed to help the engine but common sense doesn't always apply in these situations does it ?

      I suppose it could if there was an engine issue that needed fixed under warranty. just remember to put it back to normal before getting work done

      Had one fitted to my Seat Altea TDI Sport, catch can would fill up in about 4/5 months though it was remapped and the VAG TDI BKD Engines are well known to drop oil into the intercooler/egr/shut off valve and inlet manifold.

              If it ever needs to go in I'll just remove the catch can and my air filter touch would it won't need too except servicing

                Sounds fair enough- after what you've been through I would certainly do it. Doubt youll get another engine on warranty, whatever.

                I would fit one now, but have been told not much comes out of the THP by one mech, and another mech said wait and see what happens first

                  I do not really get any oil in my can at all during the summer. Come colder weather get lots of water and oil. Have to empty it every 2-3 weeks. Just glad it is there after emptying the can and letting it sit to separate You can appreciate how much you are actually stoping. Well worth having.

                        Good pics, should help others in your situation mate - how did you decide where you were siting the can Richy ? I saw Ragnarok's pics earlier and his was the opposite side (front right when looking at your pics)

                          Nice one. Yeah mate found there was 2 bolts there which i could use so decided to have it there pretty easy to fit. I'll see what the results are in a month or so see how it goes

                            Nice one Richy. Got some silicone going off on one of my pipes, so will leave installing that till tomorrow
                            Started prefabricating the bracket, after tracking down a metal jigsaw blade that were £ 8 a pair in Homebase/ BnQ. Got 5 for just over a fiver in the end

                            Just got going and it started raining :-(

                              Will the long pipe run have any effect?
