Emptied my Catch Can Today……..
« on: October 18, 2009, 02:03:56 pm »
Well i can safely say the catch can works  :grin:

After around 1k miles this is what had been collected in mine  :surprised: :surprised:



As you can see from the pic that is nearly 120ml of Carp which would have gone back into the head.

Now all i have to do is show the missus how to empty it whilst im away  :grin: :grin: :grin:

Carl :happy2:

What do you do with the stuff afterwards? Presumably can't pour it down the sink.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

Reason i went for the Stage 1 fix on mine. Fit and forget. Catch cans are unnecessary. Its only excessive pressure throwing the oil out, its not bad oil. The catch can only looks like the stuff that was in it is minging because of the mix with water.

^^^ Hey Robin.

In answer to your question - the stage one version does not filter and catch any oil vapors like the catch can does.  It is simply a stronger version of the OEM PCV which can be prone to failure.

Thats not at all true. In fact, its 100% incorrect.

It completely blocks off the PCV outlet, retaining just the return line to the sump. And comes with a block off cap for the inlet manifold on the PCV inlet.

The Eurojet fix does what you describe (with an uprated check valve), but the BSH fix is much better removing the PCV from the equation completely.
