You do have the plug screwed shut on the bottom to plug the drain hole don't you? Sounds daft I know but iirc the michi plug screwed the other way to what I thought it would...

[dubDEAN]

mitchi can fully baffled

For mitchi cans the open position is with the butterfly fastener up top nearest to the can, closed is with the fastener down bottom furthest from the can.. as YellowCar said this is opposite to the way you would expect it to work

I had a similar experience, after 12 months and 6k miles following installation mine hasn't filled up, then I noticed this mess and ripped it all out and reistalled it with different pipes.

I had a mess around with the valve and noticed it leaking into the sump tray, so left it for another day to work out how to close it. Now I know what I need to do :sun:

If ur can remains empty its a good thing, means imthe engine runs cleaner

I asked michi , the better ur rings are the less u will get in the can

But yes

Wound down away from the can is shut

Wound up near the can is open
