1.8T AEB pipe above oil cooler

Hi guys quick noobie question

on the AEB block just above the oil cooler there is a breather pipe of some sort that comes out of the block does anybody know what its for . if you guys need a pic let me know il post one up.

id love a quick reply as its fairly urgent need to get it started this weekend and this is one of the few things stopping me.

cheers guys

a pitcure will be good

if you on about this pipe ontop of oil filter



that goes to the turbo tip. depends if you using oem tip it goes into a hockey looking thing lol. if you want to delete the pvc and intall oil catch tank follow this

edit. isnt aeb block a passat block?

is this it

You sir are a legend/genius

The pipe comes out of that part in the second pic. It looks like its a
breather pipe for the block.Will I need to install a catch tank like in that link, never heard of that being done in a mk1
Yep the block is from a passat but was converted to run in a mk1 caddy, me being an idiot forgot to photo that part when he took it out.ill post a pic anyways once in registered on imageshack

Nice one

no need to register on imageshack just grab this

install and drag pitures across

im sure you want to change the oil filter housing either from a 1.9tdi or a 1.8t block 06a as your block is a 05a block

here is your block see how different the oil housing is



i would change the oil filter housing

you also might have a external water pump

i was going to use a apu block from a passat after my engine was found to be no good . alot of stuff has to be changed over . i found it easy getting a 06a block

the block has already been converted to run transversely so it has an oil filter housing from an ABA i think. however that is not the issue, my issue is the pipe coming out of the block inbetween the dipstick and the oil filter housing.

whats it for?

edit: i know its a crank breather pipe but where would i route it to in a mk1 cabby.

i suppose it goes into a t with head valve cover into tip.

Hi sorry to hi jack but i'm trying to suss the catch can routes… I've been through the guide above but it dosent make much sense to me as i'm just looking at the breather outlet from the block not all the other pipe work… Where would that breather go to? It looks the same as the part pictured from the AEB..
Also some of the diagrams and other guides i've been through theres a pipe coming from the cam cover… my cam cover dosent have an outlet?? where would i get that from?

Edit : The most common way seems to be.. Crank breather T'd with rocker cover - catch can - TIP/Vented… but is that the best way?? + as, i say i don't have a rocker cover outlet, would it just come straight from the Block breather??

Don't worry about it mate.

 Im in the same boat as you I have only a crank breather and no head/cam cover outlet. Same engine also.

I asked a mate who races skylines and he said catch tanks are required for med-high boost applications. If your running it stock then.you can just leave a small drain pipe from the crank breather to atmosphere. You'll apparently get maybe 1 or 2 drops of oil on your drive per day depending on how you use it. Also dependant on ecu.

do you have the pcv system in place?

kass

I've also been told you can swap the cam cover for one with an Outlet, Though I'm not sure which ones fit

Hi Kass..

Haha yea so it seems.. up stream with out a paddle! lol

How you getting along with  your AEB conversion?? you say the engine was all ready to go?

I have most/all the VAC piping, its just not on the engine, and i would rather get rid of it to be fair I'm not sure about boost but it's having a K04  and mostly track use..
 
So in theory you could just stick a vented botle on the end of that crank breather and that would be enough??
Or even vent to the TIP? would that need a one way valve on or anything?

I think i'll be going Meggasquirt engine managment? cross that bridge when i get to it! lol

Pretty dirt lol
Here's what I'm thinkin for mine and
seeing as you're going for track use, then id put a pipe to a catch tank with vent to atm, possibly with mini filter and that's it.
Don't route it to your TIP as its horrible yellowsludgy crap that comes through there, its oil vapour and water vapour. Makes me ill.

I bought my engine as a complete conversion with emerald and it had no vac piping. Just brake servo and map sensor stuff, from the inlet manifold.

I say complete conversion when I really mean not a complete conversion at all, plus I decided to respray the bay. Nearly there however just fuel pumps and brakes to go plus a quick service. Hoping its done before I get snow….ye right!
