Compression problem.
Hi everyone. Need your advice/help if I may. My dad has a 75 tourer diesel and it keeps blowing oil out of the dipstick. He took it too his local garage who said the engine was nackared and would cost over 1k to fix. Now I'm no mechanic but think this isn't the case. Drives great and only done 120k. He's considering scrapping it but he loves the car and spend quite a bit of money on it recently. Any advice from you wonderful people would be a great help.

LINK When this is blocked, it pressurises the crankcase, leading to the fault you describe :) The engine will be fine :cool: Brian :D |

Suggest you give that garage a wide berth in future. The numptys. Brings to mind the phrase, for a ha'porth of tar the ship was lost. So glad you asked the real experts...in this great club. :bowdown::bowdown: |

Maybe a case of "we have no idea, take it somewhere else" |
Wow thanks for the response peeps. Will give this a go and let you know how it went. Thanks again.

PCV Filter

If you are ok with a spanner you will be able to do this job your self, it will maybe take you first time about 45 minutes. I would also at the same time change the oil filter and oil, thus making sure you have the right amount oil in the car. Remove the engine cover. https://i.imgur.com/6QvQhCTl.jpg1 https://i.imgur.com/bnmlT6Cl.jpg2 Remove the air ducting. https://i.imgur.com/CPbpkyel.jpg3 https://i.imgur.com/1rZa1Qsl.jpg4 Remove the air filter cover. https://i.imgur.com/INJFmnGl.jpg5 Remove the injector wiring loom. https://i.imgur.com/fsmTmYul.jpg6 https://i.imgur.com/CvQHusHl.jpg7 Undo the four Allen key captive bolts on the PCV filter cover. https://i.imgur.com/lse6XRKl.jpg8 Lift it up to reveal the PCV filter. https://i.imgur.com/LMzeL3Nl.jpg9 Replace with your new filter also change over the seal that come with the filter. https://i.imgur.com/q2mDjTzl.jpg10 Refit all the above in reverse. https://i.imgur.com/E7p1NfMl.jpg11 You get stuck drop me a PM ;) |

I usually leave the air ducting bolted up and slide the air filter off the end of the pipe - if the three bolts are seized on the front of the air ducting they can be a pain to remove. Also find it easier to unclip the injector leak off pipe and move it out of the way, but each to their own. :} |

Yes I have followed the same procedure sometimes, on the odd occasion the PCV filter housing comes off without having to remove the injector hose ;) and as you say the three stupid brass/ rubber fixings will 99.9% just spin so I remove them and change them for spires. |
