Purge control & late bays

Hiya peeps,

What do you do about the tank breathers into the purge contol valve?
Do you attach the breathers to the valve, run it through the Scooby canister as it's vented (I don't have one) or just run it direct to the manifold like the standard VW set up?

Sidenote:
It looks like I'm going to have to get mine on the road fast ie tested & taxed as my neighbors are getting a but miffed about where it's parked

.
Might have to bung the rad in the back and put the wiring in a bag for the mo.

I got my TB inverter from Custom Off Road on Sat. I shall post some pictures later (prob with Rich Bakers help Wink

)

Hello Steve,
Should work I guess. I've not tried, although I did think about it. later model enfines sich as mine have the activated charcoal in or near the tank, not in a convenient canister in the engine bay, so I left the breather as VW intended, and connected the purge valve electrically to keep the ECU happy (I don't think this is actually necessary), but didn't connect it's plumbing to anything.
Sounds like you could do without the hassle from the neighbours

Rich

Cheers Rich,
You've been quiet. :-/ Have you seen an ECU pin out like mine before?
I have gone for the connect the Subaru filter to the Bay charcoal vents and through to the PCV. I have read a few comments on Aussie/Wieldefamily about doing this. Thought it would be better in the long run.

Hopefully the engine will be in on Tuesday, raaah Grin
