Oil Catch Can Full!

[E_Lu-SHuN]

hey guys

What will happen if my catch can is full and i still drive the car? will it fudge the motor?..>Cause at one stage...white smooke was coming out of the exhaust...and i checked the oil cap and no milky look in it...

thanks,

Well if you don't empty it it will dump its contents straight back into the compressor inlet, oil sludge accumulates in the intercooler core, drastically reducing its efficiency, then getting sucked into the motor, resulting in nasty tailpipe emissions & forming nasty carbon deposits in the combustion chamber all of which contributes to higher combustion chamber temps ultimately leading to increased pinging & shortened motor life. I would be removing ALL the pipework from the AFM to throttle body & giving it a thorough clean, paying particular attention to the intercooler, flushing it til the solvent runs clean, but before you do any of that...

Empty the oil/air seperator now !

Yeh i already did that....

btw my catch can is 100% atmo...so it wouldn't go through the intercooler piping?

Naughty boy.. you shouldn't be driving on the street with that.

Does your Mum know ??

You should be asking why your catch can is full.

Just emptying in when it's full is ignoring the real cause of the problem.

Yep, i always wondered why my catch-can would fill up so rapidly, ringlands were shot on all 6 pistons

Yeh, i always wondered why it will fill up soo mux...maybe its because i blew my old turbo?...and the compressor wheel got fudged,...not the exhaust wheel?...and parts of the compressor wheel might of went into the motor?...could that be a cause...like on r32 gtr's?..
