 Help with oil filler.
 Can anyone tell me whats missing from inside this oil filler. The one fitted to my van is the newer version and i want to change it to this type.I will say that its not the rubber flap type as in my AZ,even though the outside is very similar.The one I have bought has a small drain pipe at the base  I also wonder if the parts I need for it are available. Taa very much

 Re: Help with oil filler.
Take a look at 2CV UK on Ebay. There is a unit like yours for sale. It would appear that there is a piece missing from yours

 Re: Help with oil filler.
Ah,yes,I understand now.There should be two rubber valves,not one.The oil filler on my AZ has one single valve.

Dave - if you want to keep this I *strongly* recomend you buy a CPD valve and fit it between breather and air box. The duck bills are worse than useless. Mine runs so much better having got the engine breathing properly

 Re: Help with oil filler.
 yes cheers Dave, thanks for that, you're a top chap! But the way... STOP don't buy those rubber duck bill breather bits - you should remove them if you're fitting a CPD valve! just leave the domed cap on the breather. I've had a slightly crazy weekend (now up to 16 hours sleep since last thursday  ) I gather there was something about van rear doors? I have some small ripple doors, they came with Hetty - if you're desperate. I was just keeping them 'just in case.'

 Re: Help with oil filler.
Oh poo,to late,already on their way from uncle Roy.Maybe he'll take them back if a buy I a CPD valve  The rear doors I was looking at were just in case too. Were you serious about the front seat?

 Re: Help with oil filler.
sam found that after sitting on my bench seat love making potential is increased, although he has a double bed for shagging in the back so i geuss that theory is out the window
