- The first ventilation goes into the fresh air hose just before the throttle body and is pretty much dry, so no threat from that.
- The other one though is all oily, and - as you can see in my video - quite hard to get to.

But it is possible, just follow the instructions (and always disconnect the battery first) and you'll get there. From what I have seen so far, installing an oil catch can makes perfect sense. And by the way, with all that stuff removed from the engine bay, you get a real good chance to do some proper cleaning smile

Excellent video, and sure to be of use to many others. I was quite surprised at the amount of muck on the valves after less than 10k miles. Yet another reason to go for a Duratech rather than GDI, in the used car market?
