Oil traps are an important component of the exhaust gas recirculation system. They clean the air to be recycled from oil drops, water vapour and soot. If these traps are not changed in a timely manner, tar-like deposits can damage the turbo-charger on diesel engines, and cause motor failures on petrol engines. VAICO offers 150 high-quality oil traps for the most common engines.
The rubber of the pulley wears out with increasing age. It forms cracks. Oil and grease can also cause the rubber to become swollen and brittle.
