Which filter exactly and what engine??? Pics ???

Most of the breather filters are to catch any oil to stop it entering the inlet tract, the breathers are for crankcase ventilation to prevent crankcase pressure build up and gasket / component failure !

TBH James... I think its already gone.... got to check it tomorrow... LMFAO

Although everything on the head and breather system is new.... filter, amplifier filter, oil fill/catch tank etc... Not loosing any coolant, but there is some oil burning turbo side of the block and the water feed hose is under pressure which would indicate failure.... could be water pump though so will need to check both turbo and water pump out !

Possibly going to view a 194hp V6 Saloon tomorrow, as a run around until I can sort the Turbo out

GAZ - are you talking air filter and not breather filter then?
