Title: Anyone interested in A4 Mann provent install...
Post by: fspGTD on July 06, 2005, 08:29:28 am

I installed a mann provent on mom's 2001 golf TDI.  I installed the provent beside the oil filter using a mounting strap I fabricated by bending 5/16" ready rod, then covered with rubber hose.  To get a little more clearance for the unit in this location I shortened the upper radiator hose by about 1/4" or so.  To plumb the provent in, I siliconed in some copper transitions to the hose nipples to adapt them to 3/4" ID hose, and I ran the hose around the passenger side of the oil filter then through the fuel injection hardlines and up to the top of the head.

I can take some pics if anyone's interested.

I got an opportunity to snap some pics of the TDI Provent install.  Here they are:

I purchased it from Air Now Supply, a MANN filter distributor in california.

Edit - just noticed they put up this new web site for VW TDI stuff (includes pro vent):
