Hi everyone,
sorry to revive an old thread, but just wanted to see if anyone here uses oil catch cans in their KV6's, and if so, is there are loss in power or any disadvantage? Thanks to this site and Hippo's upload of the Land Rover TSB A151 recall from March 2005, this morning before it got too hot here, I removed the cover to the Vis Motor and yep, confirmed that my small engine tick tick is in fact the plastic arm has broken in the inlet manifold chamber. Have ordered a Rover 75 manifold chamber from a Rover 2004 model, and thinking about an oil catch tank to go with it. Lastly, I will go to the Land Rover dealer here for the software upgrade. Thanks again to this site and Hippo for that upload. Wondering if it's worth me fitting the oil catch tank to the KV6 Freelander and if anyone else here has done it and what the results are. I removed the engine acoustic cover today and i can see that there is a tiny bit of oil in the throttle body yet again as before. I read somewhere on the Net (not related to the KV6 or Freelander or Land Rover at all) that sometimes a bit of oil is required at the top end of an engine that works hot such as the KV6..What does everyone else here think? Should i fit the catch tank or am i wasting my time and doing more harm than good?
