Possible Change needed in BSH Catch Can setup

[QD MBE]

Just shoe-horned a Large Capacity C/C in my engine bay, tight squeeze.  Virtually same position as my std one. 

Pics to follow.................

^^^^
Am interested to know if there's any particular reason for increasing the tank capacity. Just less emptying frequency?

Exactly that Robin, allied with the Dipstick.  Aesthetically it looks slightly better too in my opinion, with both unions being side mounted.  I can also mount it lower, due to having the drain valve side mounted (future plans in mind.................  

There is nothing wrong at all with the std can.  

I also wanted the chance to carry out monitoring the amount via the dipstick too.  I will post pics tomorrow.

If you have a new can does that mean you visited Dubtek today QD?

Managed to get a reply from Phil at last:

Hi Kristian, on the new can its best to run the right fitting to the side port. There are no ramifications of running it the opposite way, it just works better the other way.

So it appears the instructions on the BSH website are incorrect after all then? Just hope the hoses can be swapped around now they have both been cut to length as per original instructions.

Right one goes to the top - left one goes to the side

Thats how i originally fitted mine as i went by the instructions off the BSH website,  however BSH now say this is incorrect. After looking at the pcv diagram in the link below it looks like the right hand port is where the gasses exit the head therefore it makes sense to me that the right hand hose should go to the side of the catch can so that any fluid will drop to the bottom and the filtered vapours rise and are re-circulated back through the top port of the can back to the cylinder head.

Here is a link to a diagram of how the pcv works  http://www.vwgticlub.co.za/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=482

I thought this had been resolved and the original instructions were correct. Can,t see the need to change mine round as its working just fine - until Mr Dubtek comes on and says so that it.

Blade please read through the thread, all answers are within.

Well what a total   up that is. Will have to see if mine will swap over as i cut them quite tight.

[KRL]

^ Agreed.  The instructions on the website should be updated.

Oh no, I am going to have to buy new hoses as the ones I have are now too short

for everyones info here is the new can


Description:

When we began working with BSH customers often requested a larger volume version of the recirculating catch can. Although the Race PCV system has the volume they were looking for, the vent to atmosphere design was just not what everyone wanted for a street car. BSH obliged and over the last few months designed and tested their all new Stage 2+ PCV system for the 2.0T FSI and will be soon making this available for the TSI engine.

Design:

Utilizing the engineering and design that brought about the first ever catch can system for the FSI, BSH was easily able to accommodate this design request. For this new version of the recirculating catch can changes include an increase in the volume from 7 fluid ounces to 32 fluid ounces of actual capacity (from base to fittings). Also added are a JIC threaded dip stick for guaranteed leak free oil level inspection and a standard drain valve.

For those new to catch cans and understanding the system please follow along below:






looks like it has better nipples off the block off plate so the thing can be fitted flush with more confidence so the other end isnt threaded.

also has a dipstick...

^^^  Thats the high capacity can.  There was a new standard sized can as well which the majority of us bought on the GB.
