Filtering the CCV if it is returning to the turbo inlet, probably has some merrit.
However the problem with the OM642 was pretty unique and related more to the rubber used and the position of the swirl motor.
Most motors have CCV returning to the inlet, not many were V6 with a swirl motor.
It could have been worse, Nissan Patrol 3l diesels blew up.
The WK2 has a Fiat Iveco V6 diesel, does it have a dodgy turbo inlet pipe? Does it have a swirl motor directly underneath?
Putting a CCV filter on will help remove suspended oil vapours and keep you intercooler cleaner.
I doubt the swirl motor issue will be the achillies heel of the Iveco, the problems will surface.
All engines have some flaws.
