How to install an oil vapor recovery system on an Audi TT

Model: Audi Tt 8N, MK 1 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Oil vapor hose

In this video, we see how to install an oil vapor recovery device. In this case, it is installed on a 2000 Audi TT, but the concept is valid for all cars. This device is used to prevent oil vapors from the engine from being dispersed into the environment, and to keep the intake system clean. In fact, during engine operation, oil vapors are created inside the crankcase, which could pollute the environment, reduce engine efficiency, and increase emissions. We can find it, for example, on Amazon with the code B082V8QXL3 at a price of 39.99 euros, with free delivery for Prime customers. Inside, we have a separator for oil vapors. We place it between the intake and the oil filter. In the car in the video, we also have a LPG system, so the spaces are tight. Hydraulic hoses and fittings are needed, and the threads will need to be sealed with a specific product.
