Hello all,
I'm trying to install an oil catch can onto my V6 F-type, but I cannot figure out how to disconnect the pipe from the throttle body to the valve.
Please help.

 

Done it.

 

I have disconnected the plastic hoses and there was a good amount of oil residue inside of them. I think I did right for installing an oil catch can. One less thing to worry about.

 

Is there a particular reason why you think a catch can is needed? I've seen quite a few videos where the intake valves were clean despite the high-ish mileage.

 

FYI, there are a few older threads on here of people installing one.

 

Since our engines are direct injection, fumes and oil mist are redirected back into the engine for burning a second time. This is bound to leave residue on the back of the inlet valves. Never a good thing as it obstructs the air going through the valve.
My guess and with all due respect, what you have seen, might not be direct injection engines but port injected.

 

FYI, The Rock had a great install write up, as usual…

Sorry, I didn't make it clear. The videos I was referring to were of the F-type V6 engine and the intake valves were clean. I'm familiar with the issue having owned an Audi TT. Most VW turbo engines produce an incredible amount of carbon build up on the valves. For some reason, that doesn't seem to be the case with the F-type.

Are you installing the catch can out of precaution or have you been able to verify actual build up on the valves?
