My 1.4 petrol has suddenly developed a thirst for oil. I have not experienced any loss of performance so I'm hoping that means the engine hasn't lunched its piston rings which i know is a common issue on these engines. However, i have noticed mayo in the oil filler behind the service flap so im thinking that the breather system may be blocked and the pressure is pushing oil up here.
im thinking about replacing the oil separator and breather pipework with new items but there appears to be two styles of oil separator. Does anyone know if the two styles interchangeable? Also, has anyone ever changed the breather system so that it vents to atmosphere or run a catch can to do away with the oil separator completely? If so how did you do it?
Thanks
