Catch can users on their OM642
Hello all. I have a 2012 r350 Bluetec and have small leaks from the crankcase vent on both ends. I will be replacing it with new turbo seal next week but been very interested in possibly installing a Mann Provent 200 or Radium catch can system. The Radium is beautiful and can custom the fittings to use 5/8" ID hoses.
So I was wondering for the people that have already have them installed on their OM642 or know someone that has them installed on their OM642, will it possible cause too much pressure and might possibly blow some seals to cause leaks? I have been reading up on catch cans and many people are against them due to possible leaks. But can't find any Mercedes owners taking about the negatives. To address the second negative during winter, some have install heat pads on the catch can so they don't freeze or just unhook them.
Just wanted seeing what you Mercedes diesels owners feel. I am hesitant now after reading about the negatives.
Thank you all.
