is this worth putting on a 1.2 16v 53 clio, do they need on

where are you going to fit it, firstly there isnt a pipe to fit it to, the breathing is all taken care of in the inlet plenium

which also causes the inducting air to suck oil fumes into the engine!

On my 172 i've fitted a sealed inlet elbow and run a 1m length of pipe down the bulk head exiting onto the road. The vapour and oily deposits are droppped straight onto the road. Voila

on a 172 its a good idea as it stops the trottle body from getting shitted up

No

Oil breathers/catch cans are good on highly tuned cars to decrease the chances of det at WOT but pretty pointless on normal road cars
