Hi guys after a short run today after the 5 being warmed up to temp, I have experianced the car heavy breathing! I have attached some links so you could check the pipe arrangment is ok on the breathers.
Its just that the breather filter has a fair bit of condensation inside and steam emitting :eek:
But I have no loss of water and the oil is clean, it may be due to the car sitting so long and spillage of water when i was filling the system :ashamed:.

Did you fully clean out your water/ oil system after you replaced the liner? have you any pics of how the breather looks after the run you did? can you rig a catch tank system up to show how heavy its breathing.. sorry i havnt replyed to your PM, ive been busy recently with the civic....:crap:

Yeh i flushed the rad and drained the cooling system then re filled with good coolant.
Didnt clean the oil system though. What would you clean? :confused:

No pics of the breather, just the sconstant steam got me questioning the breather system

I Have a catch tank sat in the garage doing nothing I will rig it up.
The cup mod and the breather mod look ok though?

No worries mate, I thought you might have been busy.
