Apollo - one way valve?


prs

Recommended Posts

As requested, photos of my one-way valve here and here.

 

I personally like the idea of it pulling up pressure the instant it starts but I know some argue it isn't really necessary. I don't know enough about engines to know either way but for me it offers some peace of mind.

 

Cheers,

 

John

Anyone bought and fitted one of these valves recently?

 

This post has been dormant for a while.... was planning on fitting one this spring. I guess I need to give Matt at Think Automotive a call. I can't see a -4 valve on their website any more, only -6.....

Bought, yes. Fitted, no - Dave (DVA Power) fitted my Apollo whilst I tried to keep out of his way. It does as many before me have described. Think fitted the valve to the breather for me.

 

You're welcome to a look and I'll dig out the paperwork to find what I bought on Think's recommendation.

 

PS How you missed me grinning a waving like a loon in towcester on Saturday is beyond me.

me too. I looked for these parts on the website but no luck.

 

After I have left the car sitting for a week then it can take 15sec after starting for the oil pressure to come up... I have a mocal oil cooler fitted as well and I think that delays the pressure coming up as well.

I suspect I'm not the only one who has a file of paper to go with the car but it's just proved to be useful.

 

Invoice reads:

1 x Product code CVF7-4 "One way valve flap -4JIC" £56.34

2 x Product code HETF7-4-3 "-4JIC FML straight for -3TFE" £10.00

 

Plus VAT. Order dated July 2012.
