How To Install A Catch Can
Vložit
- čas přidán 8. 08. 2017
- Today we are installing a Black Forest Industries BFI Catch Can on a 2015 Tiguan. This is a Volkswagen CCTA engine and the DIY applies to most VW TSI engines. This may help reduce carbon build up on the intake valves for GDI or Direct injection engine More about carbon buildup • Preventing and Fixing ...

I love that you keep mentioning to leave fasteners finger tight. Something that was taught to me at a young age by a wise old mechanic, leave it loose till everything is in place, then tighten and torque.
IT makes life so much easier LOL
Many of you will be asking
"does it work to stop carbon?"
"how does it work?"
Those are great questions. I will show you how it works in a different video. As far as "does it work", It will take some time to see how well it performs.
thanks Charles, will be waiting for that other video, maybe you should add an extra question to the list : why cars don't come with catch can from the factory ?
HumbleMechanic never believed in these, plus the ea888 has a built in catch can. That is what the block mounted (under the water pump) oil separation valve is for.
The last Q is easy. COST! but it's a good point to bring up in video
That is the primary oil separator. That gets the big particles. The fine oil separator is built into the PCV valve.
I see.. well.... just thinking load... I guess cost may not be an issue for German manufacturers, they sell expensive cars anyway, at least it should be available as an option for some engines...
MAN! You really have to be very HUMBLE to keep putting up with VW! I gave up on them years ago! I loved them when I was younger ,but I liked working on them all the time. I'm 54 now and can barely walk, must less bend over at all. I am subscribed, I let you do the work for me while I watch! LOL! I live 117 miles NW of you HUMBLE, NW of CAMEL CITY if your old enough to remember that nickname. It's NW of the GATE CITY, if you remember that too! If not ask someone older, they will know for sure. Love your video's! Thanks for all the time and effort! If you ever get rich, I've got a friend who is 2nd from the top at NORTH STATE Bank! HA HA! He also does investments! I think you and him live close by. I was ASE CERT. on cars and Heavy Class 8 Trucks, but am disabled now so, no need to recertify! I live through guy's like you! It's hard on you when you can't do anthing anymore! Can't even dress without a little help.THANKS again for all you do! Stay safe and keep those fingers out of the way! BLESS YOU HUMBLE! PEACE................................................................................................................
Thanks for yet invaluable DIY vid! Just replaced Intake Manifold on my CC with the upgraded one I bought from deutsche auto parts; cleaned whole bunch of carb with B-12 & drill wire brush. I really don't want to take out my manifold again, so this neat catch can will be my next project.
In a world of over-engineered oil catch cans, this one actually has some features that justify some of the expense. You've got a few super complicated hose connections (thanks VW?) that they give you connectors for, and it has a dipstick. I would still make one with a vintage oil can and some steel wool and tubing though. Making you take it out to drain it, or supply your own valve is lame though. Adding $3 to the price for a valve and some hose would not have scared off the kind of customer who would have bought it at $430.
Just picked up a 2014 Tiguan, with just over 50K on it, have to say your vids are what made me choose it. You do an awsome job of laying out the things that need to be done and how!
Thanks so much Tim 🙏
For a long time, I scoffed at the number of Allen Bolts that VW uses, including on the breaks. Now I am using allen bolts on my subaru oil pan because it's narrower, and I don't have to worry about getting a narrow 10mm on the bolts anymore. Now I have respect for the allen.
Mk4 1.8t GTIs already have an oil catch can. If you've never taken out the intercooler ever then look out, once you pop off that hose you'll have a bit of a spill. The intercooler is the low point in the intake system so that's were it all ends up.
So after 9 months or so how clean is the intake? And how much oil have you collected?
Wish he would say.
@@hunter6099 sameeee....
Hello, I see that you cancel the pcv valve, it is possible to install it without canceling it. It will work the same? Thanks
Rx performance catch cans do a great job with 1 way vacuum check valves before and after the throttle body so under light throttle and wide open throttle their is vacuum in the crankcase.
That's was my question how does the intake side of the turbo provide a good enough vaccum? Or do they even meed vacum to ventilate the pcv. Old cars vented it to atmosphere I believe it only is under vaccum since they had to reroute it back into the combustion chamber for emissions purposes only
You have a great channel and even though I don't own a VW, one can still learn a ton from watching your videos. Both my vehicles have GDI engines and both have catch cans (from a different manufacturer than one shown in the video). Do your research before buying one and locate a good install spot as that will be pretty crucial to ease of maintenance/compatibility. Both work as they should and even if they only take out 50% of the bypass oil/vapor mixture, that's that much less going on your intake valves and caking them up. Cleaning those things is a nightmare and over time, buildup can cause poor engine performance since it can't breathe properly. Again, thanks for the video and you may want to link the one you did a while back about GDI engines and some of their shortcomings.
Greetings!! Great video! Why should be the back side of the pcv blocked? If you block the rear end doesn't it affect the way oem pcv works? The vapors should all be gassed out from the front side?
I'm a late comer but the 2.5 is the biggest needer of a can versus all other VW gas engines with its PCV/MAP issues.
I have seen all kinds of oil catch can starting at $25 and up. I guess one has to custom fit/make the hoses for the application that he/she needs. I have a 94 f150 (bought it from my friend) and the owner gave it a crappy life. It leaks everywhere around the engine and i plan on installing a catch can, in between the throttle body and the engine breather on top of the valve covers. I want to do this to all my vehicles. Thanks for the video Charles
Just out of curiosity: what would happen if, instead of putting on a catch can, you just disconnected the hose leading from the PCV valve into the intake and let it drain onto the ground? (so as not to make a mess inside your engine compartment) You could then seal the hole in your exhaust manifold, and you'd be done, right? Or is there some mechanical problem I'm not foreseeing here?
1) youd be an asshole to do that knowningly polluting everywhere you drive. 2) the system is designed to be sealed and have a vacuum on it, leaving it open would decrease performance.
BoogieDownProduction him and the rest of the older vehicles that have them vent to the atmosphere. If he chooses to do that he can. Just know that yes you will be polluting
@@Wakko0o Like I said modern vehicles are a vacuum setup so if he vents it he will be an asshole for polluting but will also get worst performance. its not the same design as old cars.
BoogieDownProduction makes perfect sense good to know thank you
I literally just bought some stuff from Deutsche (sp) Auto Parts and thought to myself, "Should I buy an oil catch can for my wife's CC? Yeah, but I don't know how to properly install it."
As Keanu would say, "Whoa!"
+Luke Edward hahaha I watched The Matrix last night so I feel ya. Lol
Hi noticed when you took apart the rear pipe @ 4min there was a lot of oil in your pipe. If the PCV is working shouldn't you get near to nothing in there?
nice vid Charles. so ironic this is to prevent carbon buildup, yet VW may void your warrantee due to the modifications.
HAHA, never thought about it that way, but it sure is
hey great post. that's old school type stuff from back in the days before the pcv valve we had drip tubes or a catch can most cars just dripped oil on the ground
What happens if I connect PCV to inlet of oil catch can & outlet to the intake manifold.( any need to block the low pressure side of pcv?) plz help me to get a clarity
Hey! Question, couldn't you just hook the catch can back into the intake manifold? Instead of running it through the air system in the back?
I installed the ECS catch can on my GTI MK6 and they plug the line closest to the front and run the catch can between the back connection on the PVC. Why are they running this opposite from your installation?
See I'm curious of why some use the back outlet as others use the front outlet as well. An why they dont just tee both into the same hose
If you go to the official Black Forest Industries website and look for the catch can kit from this video, you'll find photos of it already installed showing this same setup. So I guess ECS Tuning's catch can system works differently.
hay Charles wouldn't it be cool if that catch can had vacuum valve on the drain that would open when you turn off the car to drain back in to the oil pan it would work fine or at low idle It would be thoughtless system. Ford need to add a catch can in there Ecoboost engine line this what plagues them the most
Word of caution when using a catch can in colder climates. Water will build up in the catch can. If enough water builds up and freezes, pressure will build up in the crank case and blow seals on the engine assembly...speaking from experience in Minnesota. I drained the catch can every fuel up and it still bit me. Protection risk vs reward
+Rob Rice yikes! Do you find t still worth having?
I'm in NC so it's not an issue
HumbleMechanic : before two blown seals, each on separate occasions, I thought I was doing my engine good, every time I drained the sludge out of the can. But after the 2nd self inflicted wound, I ended up selling the vehicle. After my experience my take away is this: We all want what's best for our engines,, and want the most longevity out of them. Now in a new vehicle, I have to ask my self, how many more miles will a catch can add to my engine life? My answer: probably negligible and not worth the cost and hassle of draining the can.
It's funny, on my past vehicle, I was always looking for reasons to tinker, modify, and make "improvements" with mods. And after burning my self, I reason towards leaving things stock.
As long as you can justify the "need" for a catch can and how it applies to your situation. Of course it's worth it, your helping your engine breath healthy 👌
WOW a well written, well thought out comment on CZcams from someone that has experience and knowledge of the situation??? Can it be?? HAHAHAHH
Thank you for the insight Rob! I am doing a video on how catch cans work for next week. I Will be sure to mention that. THANK YOU!
I've thought about blocking off the inlet right at the turbo and just putting a air filter on the "return" pipe of the catch can, do you think that would have solved the problem you are describing here?
Rob Rice in
Hi charles,
normaly I installed the Catch-Can in the pipe section behind the throttle body ( pcv-valve to valvecover) and leave the breather pipe, which is installed before the throttle body( from the air manifold/airbox to the valvecover) like it is.
But in this video, you are closing the breather pipe.
I am asking, because of installing it in to our 1.2tsi VW Beetle , the next days.....
Is this because of an Turboengine, so it has to be this way and not the "normal way" like in an natural aspirated eingine ?
V/r
Andreas
I want to know if better to close it or put breather
I was all set to buy this kit but I have a question that I don't have an answer for. Wouldn't it be better to put the catch can in line between the pcv valve and the intake manifold vacuum port? Buy using the port on the intake pipe pre turbo your limiting the amount of vacuum that is available to scavage the crankcase. You won't have any vacuum at an idle and much less than what is needed at highway speeds. I have run catch cans on my LS engines and it goes between the intake manifold vacuum and the pcv valve and it worked awesome, I was surprised at how much oil it collected between oil changes and my intake manifold stayed remarkably clean. Think about it because when you block off the pipe coming from the Africa assy to the fresh air intake pipe you no longer have any fresh air getting into the crankcase. The BFI system doesn't take that into consideration.
I was thinking the same thing, that wouldn't it be easier to just come out of the PCV go into the can and then go back into the intake connection then re looking at the video it came to me when looking at replacing the PCV assembly at the same time, it looks like unlike traditional single line PVC systems (SB Chevy off the valve cover into the air cleaner) there is 2 exits for this assembly, the one in the front that goes to the intake manifold and the one in the back that goes in the intake run just before the turbo entrance so its looks like VW is putting crankcase gasses in both areas. I agree that you would have less vacuum at the turbo intake but for the purpose of reducing the material that is gumming up the intake valves you would need to direct both PCV exits to the can. At slower speeds and idle is when the most blow by gasses are produced, the intake vacuum is much higher at idle than the crankcase pressure and it pulls the gasses into the cylinders to be burnt, when the car speeds up and the PCV valve will close as the pressure inside the intake manifold increases to a positive pressure to prevent a reverse flow of pressure into the crankcase, but at higher speeds the combustion process is much more efficient but there may still be some gasses that need to be vented, of course at speed with the high volume of air passing into the intake the velocity increases and the pressure decreases in the big intake tube, effectively creating a decent vacuum that pulls the air thru the system. In fact now that I think about it the high vacuum at idle at slow speeds in the intake manifold may actually cause to much flow thru the can preventing the separation of the oil and gasses. I did notice with this kit it is effectively blocking not only the intake manifold but the 2nd exit of the PVC value that enters and turning it into a traditional single line PCV system, just like the old SB Chevy PCV going from the valve cover to the air cleaner
desde argentina, siempre miramos los videos tuyos, excelente. Veo que todas las catch can anulan TOTALMENTE la entrada del venteo de gases del aceite. No seria mejor que ingresara algo para lubricar las valvulas? especialmente cuando el motor anda muchas RPMs? gracias un abrazo Charles!
Bro, habla en ingles el chabon, si me vas a contestar que puede usar el traductor, tambien vos ;) y no hay otros catch que no anulan todo.
Hi Charles, i´m stay in argentina, thanks for your videos!! My question is this: our cars with TSI motors 2.0T FSI o TSI 2nd gen, have 2 ways out of blowby vapors??? one way is top end in PCV stock. and the other way? the previous version of TFSI have one PCV in block right?
please see that picture and aswer me, sorry my english is too bad :( goo.gl/iJgoPi
3:55 you made that look so easy lol. I struggled to get mine off :(
Great video and I like your detail to connects and the way you explain. Definitely a good thing to do to any car I would say.
The PCV system have 2 vent, I from PCV to intake manifold and 1 from crankcase to air intake, so did u just capped off and modify it to PCV to catch can to air intake? Whats gonna happen when your Tiguan is in boost and the PCV close?
Only the front pcv outlet has a check valve the back one doesn't. So with it being ran PVC to catch can to air intake side if turbo it will have consistent vaccum. Not much but constant. If he had routed it back to the intake manifold it would have had vaccum under idle but when in boost it would have closed off the check valve like u said it would..
Charles, you are really good at this.
Thank you. 💙
That is a very nice kit, I looked into a 303 performance kit but I like this one better. Time to start saving some money.
Sweet!
HumbleMechanic Hello ,sure am learning from you about diesel motors, I just purchased a used 2014 2.0 tdi, really a 2013 comfortline package, has 68000 k local Volkswagen dealer here in Ottawa Canada. Bought certificate , put the Mechanical breakdown protection plan for 3 years or till 147,829 k. Would like to keep it for life ,I’m a back yard mechanic, haven’t done diesel, but I would like to learn tricks and practice at junk yards, and collect parts. About putting a catch can on this,and what the Dealer will say thanks
But it is going to be very little vacuum on the crankase, opposed as original
But think about it the front pcv outlet had a check valve in it so on factory the front hose running to intake manifold once in boost the check valve stops air from going back into the pcv outlet therefore the front one only works when idling so the main vacuum when driving which u do more comes from the cold air intake side before the turbo where the new hose will hook to an ur right not have as much vaccum like from the intake manifold, but that's all the vaccum it gets when driving anyhow an only when idling does it get the good -21 or -22 vacuum.. hope that makes sense lol.
Help! I have just got a BFI clean catch can for my 2020 GLI 2.0T (I think it is Gen 3), since I installed it I have been having bad fuel smell. So I removed the catch can and re-installed the original breather hose but the issue persists. I have re-installed the BFI catch can but this time I changed the original o-rings that come with the hoses for FKM (viton type) o-rings but still fuel smell! I have noticed the catch can hasn't caught any oil so I am wondering of my PCV valve has failed or not. Any advise? Thank you!
Something doesn't seem right about this install. I'm sure you know how the pcv system works but here's quick recap:
The intake side is usually the breather side, (not much of a check valve installed there because it's usually the clean side)
The manifold side is the one that has the check valve because that's where the pressure escapes and most of the vapors come out from and back into the intake manifold
So you deleted the intake block side and manifold side combining the manifold block and the intake tube together. To me that seems to be a problem, you're changing the direction of the flow of how the pcv system is supposed to work. Won't the intake right now basically force that stuff out?
An ideal system is to have 2 catch cans. Or simply just one in the manifold side alone. There is usually no need to have one on the other side.
I agree, this install had me scratching my head, however it 'can' be done this way as the PCV side can be seen as a check valve, in that if there is more pressure in the crankcase than the outlet (in this case the inlet side of the turbo) then it will allow flow. That said this is typically restricted flow to prevent excessive scavenging and low load running quality issues. As such this is not the port you would want to use for a singular crankcase breather... not a good setup black forrest.
You are overlooking the obvious...
where does the oil found on the charged comes from? if you say that is the clean side. Did you notice the oil residue on the intake pipe when he was installing the new 90 bend coupler?
Yes, you do need an intake side can!
Do they make catch cans that drain directly back into the oil sump?
They might. The issue is the oil is highly aerated at this point. You wouldn't want that back in the oil sump
HumbleMechanic I meant draining it back into the oil sump via a valve on a regular basis, such as during an oil change.
That could work. I mean that is how the OEM designed the system LOL.
Austin Allmond you really wouldn't want to do that since it's not just oil you are catching, you are also catching water vapor and fuel vapor.
Manufacturers need to make these FACTORY INSTALLED !!!!!!
Installed a forge on my tiguan 2.0tsi. Same setup as this. Car smokes crazy if left to idle for 5mim. Could the pcv valve be the issue? Any insight would be greatly appreciated thanks guys
Hmmm well wow. As i just bought a used tiguan with 140k miles on it. And seeing all your videos on oil deposits on these cars . Looks like i better get a catch can on this baby asap. Great channel by the way
hello there... where you buy the L adapter to clamp the hose to the Admision Pipe?
After installing a catch can, my upper timing cover starts to leak oil. Is my catch can not good? Or does the gasket need to be replaced? My mk6 GTI has just above 80.000km.
1. Just received my CCT004EK kit, have not installed it yet. BFI has not changed the bracket to accommodate the AC lines in the Tiguan, so it's Dremel time. Also, the can no longer accepts screw fittings. This has been improved: the hoses now have VW-style quick disconnects on both ends, and the pipes coming out of the can have been modified to accept these 'click-on' fittings.
2. Here is the BFI Item Number and Description for the drain valve and right angle fitting: EZ4513, EZ Oil Drain Fiting [sic]
3. Charles: It appears that the catch-can hoses will interfere with removal of the oil filter. Is this the case?
I thought my turbo was going out my throttle body and intake tube was caked with oil so I’m gonna try this before putting in a new turbo
Pricey little guy. Would like to see comparisons of OE vs catch can vs fuel system cleaner like Sea Foam or similar.
Tro Rt it is direct injection fuel cleaner does nothing unless you spray it directly in to the manifold via a open hose or port
I will be doing the Seafoam treatment next week.
The problem is, these tests are almost impossible to do. You would have to track a car over a period of 50k miles with and 50k with out. Then you still can't be sure the variables are the same.
I would love to do it, but I simply don't know how to actually do that
jesus lord, what a nightmare of overkill oem connectors...
* very well explained video
Couldn’t you just vent crank case to atmosphere and block off intake manifold to stop all the crap blocking the engine up?
That'd be highly illegal and fail inspection in most states, but for 364 days a year, sure, you could.
Would it be worth it to instal it on 2017 1.4 TSI Golf 7.5 ? Tuned engine, currently being track modified.
I WILL USE THE TRANSLATOR, FORGOTTEN THE ERRORS: Excellent your videos Charles! One question: crank case ventilation port and PCV out, are they communicated internally? If I cancel, for example, the rear exit, the one that goes through a corrugated pipe in the form of S to the turbo manifold, ALL that vent will leave by the PCV? Is there any risk of accumulation of oil or dirt if I put the plug at the rear outlet of the valve cover? I ask you this because I'm doing a home PCV, THANK YOU, SANTIAGO FROM ARGENTINA, Club de Vento and Audi.
Hola. Muy buenos todos tus videos. Tengo una Tiguan TSI 2.0 año 2012 made in Germany. Hace mucho tiempo estoy buscando catch can para instalarle, pero en mi país (Uruguay) no consigo.
Voy a tratar de traerla por e-bay. ¿Cuanto cuesta en tu país??
Saludos
With this modification does the crankcase have enough ventilation? Does the lower ventilation affect the engine oil quality? Does this modification void the factory warranty? If I were to do it, I would route the output from the PCV valve into the can and route the output of the can into the intake manifold to preserve the original design of the PCV system from the factory.
i have a 2002 mk4 tdi jetta, 1.9 8v engine. Catch can will be awesome for m y ride sins im cleaning it ones in a while. And its a carbon/ oil mess in time.
Hey Charles, can I got this in if I'm also running a Unitronic DV relocation kit. It looks like it goes where I now have the hose from the throttle body to intake. 2016 Tiguan
Can we install the inlet hose From PC valve to inlet off cutch can . And the second hose from the outlet of PC valve to intake manifold
Humble mechanic, I installed a catchcan on my EA888 Gen 2 2.0T TFSI and I’m wondering if it’s caused my car to blow more white smoke. Do you think this causes this?
Anything is possible, I personally haven't seen one do that
Thanks for the reply and by the way, Love your videos.
If I may explain, I’ve had the 034 catchcan in the past, hadn’t had any issues to my knowledge.
the catch can I have on now is the newer ECS tuning ones where it works in conjunction with the PCV, if I remember correctly, the hoses route to the turbo cold side and One side of the PCV. (Different to the 034, where it deletes the PCV)
The car now is at 77,000mi. Coincidently the rocker cover gasket started leaking oil shortly after install.
Which I had fixed.
However this white smoke symptom is almost like a faulty valve stem seal (where it only happens sometimes, especially at idle at a long time, but never whilst driving or when the engine is warm) but the only difference is that I heard valve seals happen more frequent between stop and go, deceleration and every start up.
I haven’t had it tested but my local mechanic thinks it could perhaps be the pressure of this catchcan that caused the gasket and possibly the smoke, they beleive that this style that routes to the turbo may induce higher crank case pressure than the 034 design.
The only way I guess I can find out myself without testing is taking it off and re-plumbing the old PCV hoses back In? (Which is a bit of a hassle and I can’t find two OEM bolts)
Or is there an easier way at the mechanics without Taking this off?
Hi, can you please help me out with your suggestion should I install catch can on my 2002 Golf MK 4 1.9 SDI 324000 Miles but still running fine. I would like to last as long as possible. Is it worth it ? Thanks in advance.
Hi
Do you have a video of you fitting a catch can to a VW TDI engine? All the ones on CZcams seem to concentrate on petrol engines. My daughter has a 1.6TDI Touran (2014MY), her old one suffered turbo failure at 160,000 miles then all sorts of engine problems as the EGR kept clogging, it was a chicken and egg situation. did egr cause turbo or did turbo cause egr?
Anyway hope you could help.
On any engine, with any catch can, does the PCV valve stay on the engine with the can's hose connecting to it?
Does this also work for 1.8 tfsi CABD engine since pcv system looks the same?
Don’t understand why, not to plug to after catch can straight to intake manifold, how stock pcv pipe going.
Why we plug to intake pipe?
If you fit one of these to a VW engine, it would appear that you can't use the engine cover anymore, is that correct?
On this application I was able to(I am 95% sure) Some you can't use the cover
Do you have a playlist of the modifications/ service you’ve done to the Tiguan?
I never made a Tiguan play list since I only did a few videos on it
Hi humbleMechanic! now I have a 2015 VW beetle which has a charcoal canister with two hoses come out of it, one goes to the purge valve and one goes to the what I believe fuel line comes from tank.
the question is... does install a catch can replace the charcoal canister?
in case not, could my car have both and how to do that?
Question please. For a NA engine, can i connect the pcv valve and the breather together to the can's inlet and the intake to the can's outlet while cancelling and blocking the manifold's air inlet? would that be fine for the can's and engine 's performance ?
That coolant level looks a bit low.. Just an observation. Great video as always, oil catch cans are really worth doing- especially on common rail turbo diesels, that vapor is like glue!
Yeah, I will top it off at some point LOL
Hi!
Good video, but you forgot to mention what it does and why people may want this upgrade 🙂
I didn't forget. This is strictly a DIY video. I am going to do that video in the next few days.
I have played around a lot with DIY only VS DIY and description. It usually works that the videos both better broken up.
Just asking do you recommend any of the catch can kits that replace the stock pcv housing because I removed it when I bought the CTS kit for my mk6 cc! Now I’m really worried because I’m seeing on forums that I should keep the stock pcv
Great video, thank you. I have a 2018 2.0L in an Audi A5 is this same procedure other non-transverse mounted? Also some have a replacement PCV plate. I noticed this was done on the Tiguan.
Thx for the video. WILL this work on my 2018 VW Tiguan Allspace here in Ecuador?
Question, What Engine type is your wife's 2015 Tiguan, as will all Tiguan for the America's, there are made in Mexico. I'm seeing if this Catch Can from Black Forest will work. I would have to import it as shipping here is a bear. Thank you. David with a great 2018 SE Tiguan
And 1 more question... where does the all that water u get out of the catch can go when it's just stock an not catch can? Is that the water u see dripping out of the tailpipe? An with a Catch can u are essentially just catching that same moisture build up in the can instead of it dripping out of the tailpipe? And if that's the case then it never made it through the combustion chamber with the can an probably doesn't drip out the exhaust anymore with the can I'm assuming therefore stopping the horsepower rubbing water vapor being Introduced into the combustion chamber.... My big question is why do you get that water in the catch can with the back PCV outlet blocked off? But if you run both PCV outlets to separate catch cans I get no water and either can....just curious why blocking the back one off makes the water reach the can an not if u use both outlets??
Which catch can do you recommend for the 2019 Jetta GLI?
It shouldn’t conflict with the six-year 72,000 mile warranty?
Does adding the africa plate and the catch can change the emissions?
this issue is in part caused by engines pushed too hard, If we figure 100 HP/litre, we can figure that the combustion pressure are astronomic and the rings have an quasi impossible job to do.
it's sure that these engines are subject to massive blow by when subjected to high load so a catch can / oil separator can be of a great help.
Charles, i have a bew tdi, 04 jetta and i want to do this. Hiw can i find a kit for my car? I have looked and all i come up with is gas options. Can you help me? Thanks Bruce
In case anyone is wondering. It reduces carbon buildup quite a bit.
I have some question hope to have your feedback. i installed the catch can like you have done it but after 4000Km I check today and see no oil inside the catch can is there anything wrong with my car? Car is a Gti Mk6. thanks in advaned and Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year!
Love the vids ...keep up the good work. First time VW owner last night(2015 Tiguan base model) Would it be possable for you to do a video on Stereo upgrades? My Tiguan has no back up camera or Nav. like to know about issues with factory upgrades or Aftermarket ... and if anything else is needed to do either upgrade?
Hey I love the videos I onw a 2009 volkswagen golf gti with the tsi just did my timing chains an tensioners with help of ur videos. My question is why not tee both the back an front pcv outlets into the same line then to the catch can. Why block off the back port? I know the front has the oil separator diaphragm an the back I'm assuming does not ? Just curious I run a catch can on my front pcv an the back outlet as well 2 cans one for each. But neither ever have anything in them. When I had the back poet block off like so in the video I had to empty half can of water each week. So that being said the 2nd question is without the back blocked off an using both outlets like I have it to separate cans why is there no water build up in either can now? Only time I get anything in the can is if i block off the back pcv outlet like in the video an only use the front. This pcv system is confusing I get the front works only under idle when its stock an the check valve let's it close off when in boost..an 3rd question is does the pcv system actually need to have vaccum or can it be vented to atmosphere?
would this be same installation for TFSI 2.0 Turbo charged engines since there is couple different ways people installing these catch cans regardless if there is only one correct way to install them lol.
@HumbleMechanic - besides emissions, is there any reason we couldn't run the PCV to an air filter? Why pump it into the intake at all?
Its basically ALL emissions.
It'd be nice if somebody did it before and after run. I see people do that all the time but I can't really see it adding any horsepower, if anything I would think it would be slower off the line. Less air being jammed into the engine.
I’m doing this now on my golf R. It’s a longer term test

Hello, i have a question, i was told that catch cans where specially designed for engines with a turbo installed. How ever i see in your video that this is a natural aspirated car, i am not very aware of the specs of that Tiguan, but it seems to be natural aspirated engine. I have a 4G69 2.4L mitsubishi engine that uses a VVT technology, would you recommend a catch can for this engine, whats brand would be the ideal? Thanks
I heard this isn't a good idea during winter. Can I uninstall just as easily?
Hi great video...👍 I've got a 2001 Peugeot 206 GTI..... What would be the benefits to me fitting a catch tank to mine?? Thank you
Does it come with some lube, 350 is up there for that kit. Those hoses look pretty cheap too. Someone needs to make a kit to add a injector in the intake hole you plugged and have it pulse a cleaning solution every so often to clean those intake valves and ports. That would be a money maker
Great video,as usual.👍👍
I just purchased a 2019 Volvo XC60 T6 Inscription with the 2.0 liter supercharged and turbo engine. I found out it's a Direct Injection engine. However, not all direct injection engines need a oil catch can. Do you know if i should install an oil catch can on the 2.0 liter Volvo engine
Has anyone used one of the cheaper ebay catch cans on a tiguan? Wondering how hard it would be with regular hose and a clamp?
Just wondering if you have it a shot with a universal can?
Man look at all that oil goin back into the intake. On my Mark 4 R32 I got a swoops breather , before that there was always oil just chillin right outside my throttle body
I didn't at least notice, but it might be good to warn people that this might be very deadly mod on cold climate cars. It's quite easy to freeze your catch can from condensing water and that's a really bad thing to happen :)
From all videos about catch cans I've watched, this is the only comment that made me even think about that. Maybe i shouldn't install one living in Boston?...
@@KamotoSam I suppose you can get away with it. But be sure to install it somewhere where safe and keep a lookout for starters for sure. To be honest I'd stay away from it if driven in cold climate. Here in Finland I've heard horror stories of frozen breathers quite many times.
@@jothain yeah thank you for the comment seriously. I'm probably gonna hold off to install one till spring get used to having one before winter
@@KamotoSam Might be better and thank you for nice input yourself 🙂
what is the coldest temperature you run your catch cans in?
Need to do this on a 2014 vw jetta s 2.0L would this be similar to this?
Specs on the drain valve? Thread size?
I tried this routing on my tiguan and if i plug ANY pcv line i get oil pushing out of seals. My current setup which is one of only 2 ways i got it to work is back side of pcv to can and then from can back to the pre turbo intake tube and then the front side pcv i have to run the stock hose from the pcv to the manifold. The other was putting the can between front pcv and the intake post turbo and running the factory line from back pcv to pre turbo.. i even tried running the back and front of pvc to the can and to either the post or pre turbo points and then plugged the other and oil come pushing out the seals. Idk if there is just something with my particular engine or what but if i want my pcv fully going to a can i will need to run one between each line. Anyone have any insight into why my car wont let me plug the rear pcv and the post turbo out?
Did this help with the car using oil? Thanks
Which Volkswagen would you recommend for a first time vw buyer to modify and Have fun?
Matthew Placencia a gti
does this work with the 2.0 TDI engines of the a3 8p?
so how did the catch can perform ? since the 2017 install , been 2 yrs ...ie. in your case did it reduce the amount of carbon build up on the intake ? and the back side of the valves ? I just picked up a used bpy head off a 2007 passat , it was badly carboned up , to the point that I'm considering the catch can approach . this head is going in my 07 quattro 2.0 t . thx !
Have you recently had the intake valves walnut blasted and you are now trying to keep the deposits down ? if so, what mileage did you clean it at? thanks...I have the 2015 Tig as well
