Has anybody got an oil catch tank on their 206?
My Saxo would have benefitted from one as air filter was always oily but K&N filter on the 206 doesn't look too bad.

you asked if any one had one fitted and I replied with... yes? Lol only joking mate I'm not that ignorant.
It does, but I have a highly tuned N/A engine, so it revs alot more than a standard engine so after hard driving it does collect a small amount but mostly water 2fb Due to it being an aluminium tank (cold) and oil vapour going into it (warm) it collects gunk so just take it out and empty it once a month ish. Never gets more than 1/4 full and as above it's mostly water.

Ha ha, now thats more useful...
Mines standard engine but in events I'll be running in will be a lot of high revving in 1st & 2nd so thought I may try one?
Mate on a Saxo had a Fosters lager can with a bit of pipe fed into it. Trouble was he could only see if it had caught any by cutting it open!!

Here's mine I had mine custom made to the dimensions I wanted.
You can get tanks with like a clear tube/window so you can see how full they are. mines just over 1ltr and in a months use with freezing weather mine was 1/4 full of water. But after a track day were the oil gets a little warm it will chuck more out as it gets thinner.
