BMC & MOT

[Si_GTi]

I can officially confirm (like a few other members) that the BMC kit, and the filtered oil crankcase breather pipe, will pass an MOT with no trouble whatsoever - took mine to VW today to have the car tested and of course it passed with flying colours

I also passed with a small chip in the windscreen that is just a couple of centimetres below my (the driver's) line of sight, but smaller than a 5p peice in diameter. There are no cracks spidering out from it and it's been there for several months I just haven't gotten round to getting it fixed!

That is all!

Bahhh told you so

[Del_GTi]

Yep, agreed. Mine passed too.

I've been told using the crankcase breather lets fumes into the cabin Si. How did you get the pipe to connect into the BMC?

[Si_GTi]

Where you a bit nervous that it would fail then Si?

It was preying on my mind, aye

It doesn't go back into the BMC it has a pipercross oil filter on the end of it

[Mouse_GTI]

You got any close up pics of it?

[Si_GTi]

Howzat?

[Mouse_GTI]

That's better, cheers. It looked like it was connecting into the filter in the first pic.

I take it the thing about gases leaking into the cabin because of the breather filter is crap then?

[Si_GTi]

Well, I can't smell anything from the driver's seat when I'm driving. That counts for both short (sub-10 miles or less) and long (50+ miles) journeys

[Mouse_GTI]

Right I'm gonna finally order this damn thing!

[Del_GTi]

You can only smell it when the car is stationary at idle.

On the move you can't smell it.

[Del_GTi]

Just a kinda oily, engine smell.
