tigerblu Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 Would just like for a bit of advise/help with fitting this Greddy Bov bought from a forum member! I am completely green when it comes to this and have put a couple of pics 1) showing what I think is the Standard Bov & 2) the Greddy Bov I have - which I was under the impression would just replace the factory Bov with no extra pipe work needed. Could someone clarify this for me and explain the best way to fit this. Thanks in advance! Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 that stock bov looks its leaking a lot of oil, or is it me I thought leaking lots of oil was normal Probably 3/4 of the TT's I've seen have oil leaking from the BOV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr lover Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 my hks does blow a bit out but very little, seemed a lot as it recirculates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerblu Posted January 13, 2007 Author Share Posted January 13, 2007 I thought leaking lots of oil was normal Probably 3/4 of the TT's I've seen have oil leaking from the BOV. Is this because the pipes are not secure enough to the bov? if so I take it I should be useing jubilee clips instead of the standard clamps? thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr lover Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 use jubilee clips when you fit the new one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 Is this because the pipes are not secure enough to the bov? if so I take it I should be useing jubilee clips instead of the standard clamps? thanks again No, its not due to the seal, it'll work its way out. Its normal to have a little oil collect in the pipes, but gets worse if you have valve stem seal or turbo seal issue. I wouldn't worry about it at all mate. As Gary said, use jubilee clips when installing the new BOV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markjodrell Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 Yes, it will. Excuse my ignorance , will it do any harm doing this , just thinking it would be a inexpensive way of getting a whooosh, is it common practise ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't say its common practice but have heard of a few doing it. It only causes a problem on some UK auto's so can't see why its not worth a try.
