Hey all had a look at it today, isn there meant to be a free moving ball-baring type thing in it? Mines filled with sludge!

Is this normal? I know for other cars this isnt!

yeah when i took mine out it was pretty gross too

i sprayed throttle body cleaner through it and it cleared it up....then when you shake it you should be able ot here that ball bearing thing....

when you connect it back up, idle might be a bit funny at first but shouldl readjust

its on little plastic connection with a hose connected to it on the rocker cover.

It meant to help with keeping oil cleaner longer etc, and other stuff.
