If you run Firefox on Android as I do, you won't connect to that link.
Chrome works, not sure which others will.

I had no idea what a catch can was or did, but now I'm trying to find a distributor for the ProVent 200. These are made in Germany by Mann Hummel, but strangely, there are no retail sales distributors here. The majority of the sources, to include sellers on the German eBay, are in Australia. I found two or three vendors in the U.S., but was looking for the PXII kit that includes the bracket and hoses. I might have to settle for the filter and make my own bracket.

I took a chance with Western Filters and ordered the OS-PROV-15 kit. The website accepted my U.S. address and the Australia Post shipping was $61.40 AUD.

I switched from google.com to google.de and did find some vendors who sell the ProVent200, but was looking for the kit that has the brackets and hoses for the PXII Ranger. Apparently, this setup is not so popular here as it is in Australia, so I ordered the kit from Western Filters.

Maybe read this
viewtopic.php?f=29&t=2035 before you fit it.
I had to bend the bracket quite a bit to get it to sit straight.
Also when you fit the small bottom hose you will see that one end is recessed more than the other.
That is the end you trim to get a straight fit, but I'm sure you would figure it out yourself.

On a PX2 if you're handy. Make a bracket and cut the original hose in two pieces, it all works perfect and has for 70,000 km now.

Geez I am glad I purchased mine off Western Filters before they decided to jack the price on them way up.

The kit from Western Filters arrived a week after they shipped it, which might be the fastest delivery I've received from Australia. Installing the kit was easy, but I have to trim the lower fitted hose that came with the kit a bit so it isn't under stress. The longer fitted upper hose was a perfect fit.
The catch can touches the washer fluid filler neck, but I think it will be fine. I didn't have to bend the bracket, but will check again in the daylight to see if it needs any modification.

That is normal, that is why one recess is longer than the other, so you can trim it to suit.

Looks like they have changed the mounting system.
Mine had a stainless steel bracket that mounted to the 2 holes in the body, then the filter mounted to that.
I don't have any contact.

I can't remember if my bracket is stainless steel or aluminum, but it bolts to the body and the filter bolts to the bracket.
