OIL SEPARATOR

The Provent

In 2008 my friend Ben came up with the idea of a field test
among landie owners, and some lucky guys down under got their oil separators for little cost.
After an expensive bill to have my turbocharger cleaned out of soot,
I was eager to give it a try too; I contacted MANN+HUMMEL and managed to buy mine.

"ProVent® is MANN newest innovation for crankcase ventilation.
It is specifically designed to accommodate the latest generation of turbo-charged engines.
Its compact and robust design allows flexible installation locations
on the engine or in the engine compartment.
It has the following advantages over other solutions:
-Highly efficient oil separation as a closed as well as an open system
providing ideal protection for the turbocharger and
other components installed downstream
-Low pressure loss
-Less motor oil consumption in comparison to
less efficient separators or conventional open systems
-Low running costs (UHM...a replacement element is €40!)
-No electrical energy required
-Maintenance friendly;
fittings are not removed during element maintenance"
