I’m having issues with oil bypassing my supercharger so I’m trying to make sure the basics are right before I start trying to troubleshoot the harder (read expensive!) things.

 

I want to go over the breather system and make sure if it is all tip-top, but I’m having trouble even finding all the breather components! I’ve located the cam-cover breather, but can’t seem to find any crank case breather, as it’s quite cosy under the bonnet of my Golf!

 

Can someone give me a brief run-down on the V6 breather system please (location of key pipes, valves, filters, etc) and also let me know if there are any known issues/weak points with the system (things liable to blockage, pipes known to fail, etc) please?

 

I’m also trying to work out if the system might cause/allow pressurisation of the crankcase on a supercharged engine, and how I can fit a catch-tank to the breathers to ensure the crank case maintains atmospheric pressure at all times, while keeping as much oil in the block as possible, so any info is greatly appreciated please.
