oil separators for under $50

…Last I looked these were around $200. There’s 2 vendors selling these around the same price; I think mine is just gunked in the tubing but I got one anyway cos $50 is cheap.

That’s a great price!!

too great not to share…

the wife it pissed at the growing pile of parts that I don’t need. To which I reply… “yet”

:smiley:

It’s a disease haha, the good thing is unlike something like an e60 m5, the car will still run albeit not great, when there is something that needs repair or attention. Either a good or bad thing depending on how you look at it, I liked it as I never thought I’d be stranded somewhere in the s6.

Damn e60, if only a few lights were on the check engine Christmas tree, it wouldn’t even run or it was in ultra limp mode.

OP this is a nice find, did you buy it?
Can you vouch for the quality? don’t want to buy it just to replace it 6 months from now.

yup. bought and installed. My OEM one was complete garbage; internal piston was frozen in place letting all the oil just go into the intake. I wouldn’t call it equal quality, but it’s a surprisingly complex part and all pieces seem to be there including O rings. Direct fit, no hassle.

It’s worth testing to see if it works for 50$.

oil separators are a good thing to check when doing the extended maintance. I think too many people over look them.

Thanks for the tip! I just ordered one, since they ship to Canada.

There is an even cheaper one for those in the US. $39 including shipping…
