At my 100,000 mile service in April 2012 the valve stems etc on my 2.T FSI were inspected and found to be surprisingly clean. It is thought to be a result of running a catch tank. The gunk I have removed is a bit scary!

It takes me about 20 minutes max to disassemble, empty, and re install. I usually remove the tank from the hoses as well.

What mileage were you on when you installed it Robin?

Seems to have proven to be a worthwhile mod  :smiley:

....Aprox 75,000. So it's been on for about 25,000 miles. That's only 25% of my car's life so far and ideally it would have been better to add a catch tank system a lot sooner. But better late than never.

There's no denying that it's an expensive mod - Especially the Forge because of also the screenwash components being included - But if you plan to keep a modified car it's investing in its future. That's the way I see it.
