Does a 940 TURBO have a flame trap?

Post by paulfr »

doin a little PM on s fine holiday..
I went to clean out my flame trap on my 1994 Turbo . I have a good drawing of its location on this model from a mitchell's CD. However my Turbo doesn't seem to have a flame trap.

SO I searched this forum and found a reference that says the Turbo model don't have a flame trap installed as the turbo action eliminates the need for one

I don't know but I can't find one on the engine and I looked & looked & looked

So can some one fill me in on the facts (just the faxx) does the turbo engine have a flame trap?

No its does not,because it vents its gases back to the turbo,it just has an oil breather box,function is to provide a low-velocity space for fine oil mist and droplets to collect (or coalesce) into larger drops that can flow back into the crankcase.
