Is that something i can clean or replace myself and do you know a rough cost?

 

Also does the mechanic sound correct in thinking is that box?

 

The PCV separator is a box and it's tricky to get at because it's down the back of the engine below the inlet plenum.

@sepulchrave so best to get the mechanic to do then?

Yes.

thanks. I’ve spoke to the mechanic again today and mentioned about the oil. He said he’d have a look. He said it may be a gasket or seal and he'd sort it out, he also said that the oil thing happens more because of the new E5 and E 10 fuel.

?

What new E5 / 97 min or 99 min fuel would that be? 

Super Unleaded has been sold in the UK for a long time now.

 

E10 might well have more bio in than pre September 2021 but really i think he is blowing smoke.

I wouldn't take too much notice, as long as he's good with the tools then you can ignore the drivel.

Steve did you manage to get this fixed at all?
