MK5 Golf GTI

Well i can safely say the catch can works  

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



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  

Carl

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

Can't you

You could drink it 

I emptied away in a friendly to the environment way 

Carl

Small 1ltr oil container. drain the dregs into it and then when it is full take it up to your local tip where they have oil and hazardous waste disposal

or pour it back into the engine were it came from 

Looks like mostly water though.

emptyed mine after 100 miles, there was about a mil of water. 

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.

ergh...nasty stuff

....That BSH Stage1 fix does beg the question "Why did BSH bother with a catch can version?"

^^^ 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.

but surly you still get vapour back to the sump ?
