Smoking on idle, forge catch can
« on: January 13, 2014, 08:00:48 pm »
Hi, just thought I'd post as I haven't heard of this before but may be helpful to others. I have a edition 30 and put a catch can on, was fine at first then I had lots of smoke coming out exhaust and lost a fair bit of oil. I found that the catch can was causing exsesive crankcase pressure build up and causing oil to push past the oil seal on turbo filling the exhaust and intake. I also had oil dripping off the turbo.  I have now put the original pcv back on and cleaned system, messaged forge and they are aware that this happens to approx 1 in 100 2.0 tfsi engines and they are working on a fix for this. Will repost when I have the fix! Hope this helps any one that has had this problem.

Keep the thread updated fella.

One reason why catch cans are a waste of time. IMO of course

Their can is too small, the hose is too small, and the outlets on their plate are too small.  Great quality kit, just needs more testing at their end.

Yeah I remember that..

Catch cans just seem like a waste of money on the TFSI  :popcornsoda:
