[Vwdiesel] PCV vents

[Shawn Wright]

Today I got around to installing a 2nd PCV vent in the old mech fuel pump 
location, and ran the hoses similar to Andrew's setup in his Vanagon. I came 
off the valve cover with a 90, then down to T just above the block off plate 
(with a 1/2" fitting welded on). The top of the T has the oil separator that 
normally sits on the valve cover on the TD. The line from the VC goes to the 
side of the T, the bottom of the T goes to the block. 
The outlet of the oil separator goes back up to the intake, in this case a 
modifed Dodge Caravan airbox. I'm hoping this will fix the problem of oil 
accumulation on the vent hose. 
I noticed one thing I didn't expect - there seems to be a slight vacuum from 
the block vent, and the usual blowby from the VC vent. I expected some 
output from the block, which would reduce the amount from the VC a little.
