after market oil/air separator om617?
How much is this whole project going to cost? Where do I get a separator, do you just use one like the ones for pneumatic tools?
I can easily route the air out to the intake but how do I plumb the oil back to the pan? There's a drip tube at the bottom of the stock separator. Will I need to cut it to attach a new line? Or will any changes be reversible?
Nice body, tons of ridiculous mechanical issues - 300d turbo 82' /motor 85'
It seems like it's pretty easy to find a replacement air filter to lose that giant airbox but, what all would be entailed in replacing the oil/air separator?

sorry, I'm not more informed on what's under the hood but it's all hidden away, I have no garage, and it's freezing out.
Thanks for the tips and more info would be great

240's is probably not an option. round here all we have in the junk yards are cavaliers and f-150s.

Thats not an oil separator, its primary job is to limit crankcase vacuum because of the throttle on 81+ 240Ds. Its called a Crankcase Depression Regulator on GM and VW engines.
The oil drain is to get rid of the natural oil condensation from contacting the large surface area. GM and VW do this by having the valve directly over the valvecover for the oil to drain down the inlet, but thats not practical on a 240D.
I built a separator from a Harbor Freight 1/2" airline water separator.

For now it just drains into a container so I can monitor its effectiveness. No reason it can't drain back to the sump though.
