....Lee - Speak to Ben at Dubtek because they specialise in lines and hoses. He's tricky to find right now cos he's a new daddy, but leave him a message and he'll get back to you.

I would be very hesitant on using a plain silicone hose that doesn't have a dedicated internal floroliner as the oil vapour will eventually permeate through it, leading to "oil sweating" on the outer surface of the hose.

This is what occured with the early Eurojet hoses of their pcv fix that lacked the liner.

Correct Robin, thanks - Just to complicate the GB even more for people, I can supply this kit with s/steel braided hose, silicone hose and also anodised hose end finishers (in red or silver) on request at extra cost.... :happy2:

Please dont go out and pay over the odds for these items if your considering changing the rubber hose supplied by BSH, we can sort a price out to beat most if not all on hose and accessories. :grin:

I'll post up pics of mine once its done, but I plan to use a different hose set up and mount in an alternative position.

Obviously we'd recommend fluorolined silicone hose if used with oil  :happy2:

Not trying to be controversial here but Phil@BSH doesn't advise using s/steel braided hoses so close to the rubber fuel lines.

....Hi Ben, such alternatives sound quite exciting to me - Any excuse for a bit of eye-candy! I'm gonna wait to see your pics before installing mine when it comes.

Depends if your fuel lines are still rubber though.... :P Did those before the relationship with BSH started. And to be fair it comes down to nothing more than cost...s/steel braided hose is a rubber hose with braid over it at the end of the day, it doesnt contaminate anything else around it! And chaffing isnt really an issue on the rubber hose from the braided if its routed correctly. We've already been in discussions with BSH to supply alternative hose and fittings in the future so watch this space  :party:

Looks a great install - Whats the warranty point of view on this product??? 

Having been in the motor trade for 20 years plus, I know what main dealers are like for trying to dodge a claim (this is one of the reasons why I dropped out of the GB plus the fact of the frequency at which I change cars - but Im determined to keep this at least a year) :happy2:

It may be of some interest that BMW is now considering on supplying a catch can as standard on thier direct injection models because of this valve problem.
