FLMAN - if you have ever hooked up a ehm you would notice that there's oil dripping out the bottom, from the ccv, is this not proof that it works? The hose isnt fitted for the sole purpose of saving cac hoses. I know id rather spend $7 on a hose and fit it, rather than having the oil re-enter my intake and clogging the hell out of the MAF
Audiboy86 - lol @ gators, i was thinking about all the old people...i dont know which one is a bigger killer.
I played all them games with TDIs in the past, the EHM, the Old Navy separator, the epsilon device........ The best mod I ever made was to eliminate the TDI EGR, after that you cant plug up the intake manifold with the carbon, so removing the oil was not a factor any more, the oil has detergent in it that helps clean the intake and the MAP sensor. The MAP sensor is nothing more then a thermistor so a little oil on it is not going to hurt a thing.
One thing I don't miss about CCV mods is the fumes and the oil that drips out of the tube on the ground or your garage floor. Oil is a liquid and does not clog up any thing, oil and EGR fumes are the problem, they create black carbon when mixed.
Any ways what did you do about the blockage, did you cut slits in the hose, sounds like a good idea if you don't mind fumes coming out from under the hood?
