Thank you! My son may post details, but he had his intake valves on his 2013 GLI nut blasted to remove heavy carbon buildup. Since he plans to keep this as his drive to work car, we installed a later version of this catch can, but man, your video was SO HELPFUL! We took the intake pipe off to connect the longer hose. There is no way to remove that clamp otherwise unless you are a magician.
I love that you keep mentioning to leave fasteners finger tight. Something that was taught to me at a young age by a wise old mechanic, leave it loose till everything is in place, then tighten and torque.
MAN! You really have to be very HUMBLE to keep putting up with VW! I gave up on them years ago! I loved them when I was younger ,but I liked working on them all the time. I'm 54 now and can barely walk, must less bend over at all. I am subscribed, I let you do the work for me while I watch! LOL! I live 117 miles NW of you HUMBLE, NW of CAMEL CITY if your old enough to remember that nickname. It's NW of the GATE CITY, if you remember that too! If not ask someone older, they will know for sure. Love your video's! Thanks for all the time and effort! If you ever get rich, I've got a friend who is 2nd from the top at NORTH STATE Bank! HA HA! He also does investments! I think you and him live close by. I was ASE CERT. on cars and Heavy Class 8 Trucks, but am disabled now so, no need to recertify! I live through guy's like you! It's hard on you when you can't do anthing anymore! Can't even dress without a little help.THANKS again for all you do! Stay safe and keep those fingers out of the way! BLESS YOU HUMBLE! PEACE................................................................................................................
In a world of over-engineered oil catch cans, this one actually has some features that justify some of the expense. You've got a few super complicated hose connections (thanks VW?) that they give you connectors for, and it has a dipstick. I would still make one with a vintage oil can and some steel wool and tubing though. Making you take it out to drain it, or supply your own valve is lame though. Adding $3 to the price for a valve and some hose would not have scared off the kind of customer who would have bought it at $430.
Thanks for yet invaluable DIY vid! Just replaced Intake Manifold on my CC with the upgraded one I bought from deutsche auto parts; cleaned whole bunch of carb with B-12 & drill wire brush. I really don't want to take out my manifold again, so this neat catch can will be my next project.
Many of you will be asking "does it work to stop carbon?" "how does it work?" Those are great questions. I will show you how it works in a different video. As far as "does it work", It will take some time to see how well it performs.
thanks Charles, will be waiting for that other video, maybe you should add an extra question to the list : why cars don't come with catch can from the factory ?
HumbleMechanic never believed in these, plus the ea888 has a built in catch can. That is what the block mounted (under the water pump) oil separation valve is for.
I see.. well.... just thinking load... I guess cost may not be an issue for German manufacturers, they sell expensive cars anyway, at least it should be available as an option for some engines...
Just picked up a 2014 Tiguan, with just over 50K on it, have to say your vids are what made me choose it. You do an awsome job of laying out the things that need to be done and how!
Greetings!! Great video! Why should be the back side of the pcv blocked? If you block the rear end doesn't it affect the way oem pcv works? The vapors should all be gassed out from the front side?
I was all set to buy this kit but I have a question that I don't have an answer for. Wouldn't it be better to put the catch can in line between the pcv valve and the intake manifold vacuum port? Buy using the port on the intake pipe pre turbo your limiting the amount of vacuum that is available to scavage the crankcase. You won't have any vacuum at an idle and much less than what is needed at highway speeds. I have run catch cans on my LS engines and it goes between the intake manifold vacuum and the pcv valve and it worked awesome, I was surprised at how much oil it collected between oil changes and my intake manifold stayed remarkably clean. Think about it because when you block off the pipe coming from the Africa assy to the fresh air intake pipe you no longer have any fresh air getting into the crankcase. The BFI system doesn't take that into consideration.
I was thinking the same thing, that wouldn't it be easier to just come out of the PCV go into the can and then go back into the intake connection then re looking at the video it came to me when looking at replacing the PCV assembly at the same time, it looks like unlike traditional single line PVC systems (SB Chevy off the valve cover into the air cleaner) there is 2 exits for this assembly, the one in the front that goes to the intake manifold and the one in the back that goes in the intake run just before the turbo entrance so its looks like VW is putting crankcase gasses in both areas. I agree that you would have less vacuum at the turbo intake but for the purpose of reducing the material that is gumming up the intake valves you would need to direct both PCV exits to the can. At slower speeds and idle is when the most blow by gasses are produced, the intake vacuum is much higher at idle than the crankcase pressure and it pulls the gasses into the cylinders to be burnt, when the car speeds up and the PCV valve will close as the pressure inside the intake manifold increases to a positive pressure to prevent a reverse flow of pressure into the crankcase, but at higher speeds the combustion process is much more efficient but there may still be some gasses that need to be vented, of course at speed with the high volume of air passing into the intake the velocity increases and the pressure decreases in the big intake tube, effectively creating a decent vacuum that pulls the air thru the system. In fact now that I think about it the high vacuum at idle at slow speeds in the intake manifold may actually cause to much flow thru the can preventing the separation of the oil and gasses. I did notice with this kit it is effectively blocking not only the intake manifold but the 2nd exit of the PVC value that enters and turning it into a traditional single line PCV system, just like the old SB Chevy PCV going from the valve cover to the air cleaner
The PCV system have 2 vent, I from PCV to intake manifold and 1 from crankcase to air intake, so did u just capped off and modify it to PCV to catch can to air intake? Whats gonna happen when your Tiguan is in boost and the PCV close?
Only the front pcv outlet has a check valve the back one doesn't. So with it being ran PVC to catch can to air intake side if turbo it will have consistent vaccum. Not much but constant. If he had routed it back to the intake manifold it would have had vaccum under idle but when in boost it would have closed off the check valve like u said it would..
What happens if I connect PCV to inlet of oil catch can & outlet to the intake manifold.( any need to block the low pressure side of pcv?) plz help me to get a clarity
For a long time, I scoffed at the number of Allen Bolts that VW uses, including on the breaks. Now I am using allen bolts on my subaru oil pan because it's narrower, and I don't have to worry about getting a narrow 10mm on the bolts anymore. Now I have respect for the allen.
Hi noticed when you took apart the rear pipe @ 4min there was a lot of oil in your pipe. If the PCV is working shouldn't you get near to nothing in there?
Mk4 1.8t GTIs already have an oil catch can. If you've never taken out the intercooler ever then look out, once you pop off that hose you'll have a bit of a spill. The intercooler is the low point in the intake system so that's were it all ends up.
I installed the ECS catch can on my GTI MK6 and they plug the line closest to the front and run the catch can between the back connection on the PVC. Why are they running this opposite from your installation?
If you go to the official Black Forest Industries website and look for the catch can kit from this video, you'll find photos of it already installed showing this same setup. So I guess ECS Tuning's catch can system works differently.
desde argentina, siempre miramos los videos tuyos, excelente. Veo que todas las catch can anulan TOTALMENTE la entrada del venteo de gases del aceite. No seria mejor que ingresara algo para lubricar las valvulas? especialmente cuando el motor anda muchas RPMs? gracias un abrazo Charles!
Hi Charles, i´m stay in argentina, thanks for your videos!! My question is this: our cars with TSI motors 2.0T FSI o TSI 2nd gen, have 2 ways out of blowby vapors??? one way is top end in PCV stock. and the other way? the previous version of TFSI have one PCV in block right? please see that picture and aswer me, sorry my english is too bad :( goo.gl/iJgoPi
Hi charles, normaly I installed the Catch-Can in the pipe section behind the throttle body ( pcv-valve to valvecover) and leave the breather pipe, which is installed before the throttle body( from the air manifold/airbox to the valvecover) like it is. But in this video, you are closing the breather pipe. I am asking, because of installing it in to our 1.2tsi VW Beetle , the next days..... Is this because of an Turboengine, so it has to be this way and not the "normal way" like in an natural aspirated eingine ? V/r Andreas
1. Just received my CCT004EK kit, have not installed it yet. BFI has not changed the bracket to accommodate the AC lines in the Tiguan, so it's Dremel time. Also, the can no longer accepts screw fittings. This has been improved: the hoses now have VW-style quick disconnects on both ends, and the pipes coming out of the can have been modified to accept these 'click-on' fittings. 2. Here is the BFI Item Number and Description for the drain valve and right angle fitting: EZ4513, EZ Oil Drain Fiting [sic] 3. Charles: It appears that the catch-can hoses will interfere with removal of the oil filter. Is this the case?
After installing a catch can, my upper timing cover starts to leak oil. Is my catch can not good? Or does the gasket need to be replaced? My mk6 GTI has just above 80.000km.
Humble mechanic, I installed a catchcan on my EA888 Gen 2 2.0T TFSI and I’m wondering if it’s caused my car to blow more white smoke. Do you think this causes this?
Thanks for the reply and by the way, Love your videos. If I may explain, I’ve had the 034 catchcan in the past, hadn’t had any issues to my knowledge. the catch can I have on now is the newer ECS tuning ones where it works in conjunction with the PCV, if I remember correctly, the hoses route to the turbo cold side and One side of the PCV. (Different to the 034, where it deletes the PCV) The car now is at 77,000mi. Coincidently the rocker cover gasket started leaking oil shortly after install. Which I had fixed. However this white smoke symptom is almost like a faulty valve stem seal (where it only happens sometimes, especially at idle at a long time, but never whilst driving or when the engine is warm) but the only difference is that I heard valve seals happen more frequent between stop and go, deceleration and every start up. I haven’t had it tested but my local mechanic thinks it could perhaps be the pressure of this catchcan that caused the gasket and possibly the smoke, they beleive that this style that routes to the turbo may induce higher crank case pressure than the 034 design. The only way I guess I can find out myself without testing is taking it off and re-plumbing the old PCV hoses back In? (Which is a bit of a hassle and I can’t find two OEM bolts) Or is there an easier way at the mechanics without Taking this off?
Installed a forge on my tiguan 2.0tsi. Same setup as this. Car smokes crazy if left to idle for 5mim. Could the pcv valve be the issue? Any insight would be greatly appreciated thanks guys
Hey Charles, can I got this in if I'm also running a Unitronic DV relocation kit. It looks like it goes where I now have the hose from the throttle body to intake. 2016 Tiguan
You have a great channel and even though I don't own a VW, one can still learn a ton from watching your videos. Both my vehicles have GDI engines and both have catch cans (from a different manufacturer than one shown in the video). Do your research before buying one and locate a good install spot as that will be pretty crucial to ease of maintenance/compatibility. Both work as they should and even if they only take out 50% of the bypass oil/vapor mixture, that's that much less going on your intake valves and caking them up. Cleaning those things is a nightmare and over time, buildup can cause poor engine performance since it can't breathe properly. Again, thanks for the video and you may want to link the one you did a while back about GDI engines and some of their shortcomings.
Just out of curiosity: what would happen if, instead of putting on a catch can, you just disconnected the hose leading from the PCV valve into the intake and let it drain onto the ground? (so as not to make a mess inside your engine compartment) You could then seal the hole in your exhaust manifold, and you'd be done, right? Or is there some mechanical problem I'm not foreseeing here?
1) youd be an asshole to do that knowningly polluting everywhere you drive. 2) the system is designed to be sealed and have a vacuum on it, leaving it open would decrease performance.
BoogieDownProduction him and the rest of the older vehicles that have them vent to the atmosphere. If he chooses to do that he can. Just know that yes you will be polluting
@@Wakko0o Like I said modern vehicles are a vacuum setup so if he vents it he will be an asshole for polluting but will also get worst performance. its not the same design as old cars.
And 1 more question... where does the all that water u get out of the catch can go when it's just stock an not catch can? Is that the water u see dripping out of the tailpipe? An with a Catch can u are essentially just catching that same moisture build up in the can instead of it dripping out of the tailpipe? And if that's the case then it never made it through the combustion chamber with the can an probably doesn't drip out the exhaust anymore with the can I'm assuming therefore stopping the horsepower rubbing water vapor being Introduced into the combustion chamber.... My big question is why do you get that water in the catch can with the back PCV outlet blocked off? But if you run both PCV outlets to separate catch cans I get no water and either can....just curious why blocking the back one off makes the water reach the can an not if u use both outlets??
I have seen all kinds of oil catch can starting at $25 and up. I guess one has to custom fit/make the hoses for the application that he/she needs. I have a 94 f150 (bought it from my friend) and the owner gave it a crappy life. It leaks everywhere around the engine and i plan on installing a catch can, in between the throttle body and the engine breather on top of the valve covers. I want to do this to all my vehicles. Thanks for the video Charles
Hi, can you please help me out with your suggestion should I install catch can on my 2002 Golf MK 4 1.9 SDI 324000 Miles but still running fine. I would like to last as long as possible. Is it worth it ? Thanks in advance.
Hi humbleMechanic! now I have a 2015 VW beetle which has a charcoal canister with two hoses come out of it, one goes to the purge valve and one goes to the what I believe fuel line comes from tank. the question is... does install a catch can replace the charcoal canister? in case not, could my car have both and how to do that?
Hi Do you have a video of you fitting a catch can to a VW TDI engine? All the ones on RUclips seem to concentrate on petrol engines. My daughter has a 1.6TDI Touran (2014MY), her old one suffered turbo failure at 160,000 miles then all sorts of engine problems as the EGR kept clogging, it was a chicken and egg situation. did egr cause turbo or did turbo cause egr? Anyway hope you could help.
With this modification does the crankcase have enough ventilation? Does the lower ventilation affect the engine oil quality? Does this modification void the factory warranty? If I were to do it, I would route the output from the PCV valve into the can and route the output of the can into the intake manifold to preserve the original design of the PCV system from the factory.
Rx performance catch cans do a great job with 1 way vacuum check valves before and after the throttle body so under light throttle and wide open throttle their is vacuum in the crankcase.
That's was my question how does the intake side of the turbo provide a good enough vaccum? Or do they even meed vacum to ventilate the pcv. Old cars vented it to atmosphere I believe it only is under vaccum since they had to reroute it back into the combustion chamber for emissions purposes only
Question please. For a NA engine, can i connect the pcv valve and the breather together to the can's inlet and the intake to the can's outlet while cancelling and blocking the manifold's air inlet? would that be fine for the can's and engine 's performance ?
would this be same installation for TFSI 2.0 Turbo charged engines since there is couple different ways people installing these catch cans regardless if there is only one correct way to install them lol.
Question, What Engine type is your wife's 2015 Tiguan, as will all Tiguan for the America's, there are made in Mexico. I'm seeing if this Catch Can from Black Forest will work. I would have to import it as shipping here is a bear. Thank you. David with a great 2018 SE Tiguan
Charles, i have a bew tdi, 04 jetta and i want to do this. Hiw can i find a kit for my car? I have looked and all i come up with is gas options. Can you help me? Thanks Bruce
I have heard it is possible to clean the back of intake valves, on DI engines using intake valve cleaner - by spraying the solution directly into the throttle body or an vacuum line. a possible future video? thanks.
I have the product for said video. I have pulled the intake to inspect the valves. I am out of town a few day this week, but when I come home, we are testing that exact thing. I HIGHLY doubt it will do anything.. But it depends on when you do the work.
Hey I love the videos I onw a 2009 volkswagen golf gti with the tsi just did my timing chains an tensioners with help of ur videos. My question is why not tee both the back an front pcv outlets into the same line then to the catch can. Why block off the back port? I know the front has the oil separator diaphragm an the back I'm assuming does not ? Just curious I run a catch can on my front pcv an the back outlet as well 2 cans one for each. But neither ever have anything in them. When I had the back poet block off like so in the video I had to empty half can of water each week. So that being said the 2nd question is without the back blocked off an using both outlets like I have it to separate cans why is there no water build up in either can now? Only time I get anything in the can is if i block off the back pcv outlet like in the video an only use the front. This pcv system is confusing I get the front works only under idle when its stock an the check valve let's it close off when in boost..an 3rd question is does the pcv system actually need to have vaccum or can it be vented to atmosphere?
Hello, i have a question, i was told that catch cans where specially designed for engines with a turbo installed. How ever i see in your video that this is a natural aspirated car, i am not very aware of the specs of that Tiguan, but it seems to be natural aspirated engine. I have a 4G69 2.4L mitsubishi engine that uses a VVT technology, would you recommend a catch can for this engine, whats brand would be the ideal? Thanks
I have some question hope to have your feedback. i installed the catch can like you have done it but after 4000Km I check today and see no oil inside the catch can is there anything wrong with my car? Car is a Gti Mk6. thanks in advaned and Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year!
I just purchased a 2019 Volvo XC60 T6 Inscription with the 2.0 liter supercharged and turbo engine. I found out it's a Direct Injection engine. However, not all direct injection engines need a oil catch can. Do you know if i should install an oil catch can on the 2.0 liter Volvo engine
I WILL USE THE TRANSLATOR, FORGOTTEN THE ERRORS: Excellent your videos Charles! One question: crank case ventilation port and PCV out, are they communicated internally? If I cancel, for example, the rear exit, the one that goes through a corrugated pipe in the form of S to the turbo manifold, ALL that vent will leave by the PCV? Is there any risk of accumulation of oil or dirt if I put the plug at the rear outlet of the valve cover? I ask you this because I'm doing a home PCV, THANK YOU, SANTIAGO FROM ARGENTINA, Club de Vento and Audi.
Has 2 cuz its turbo the front one works when idling an had a check valve in it once the intake manifold becomes pressurized with boost it shuts off an only the back PVC outlets takes over when in boost, that way it gets proper ventilation when idling and in boost but it gets better vacum on the pcv when idling whereas when driving the intake side of the turbo most likely doesn't have the same vacum pressure as the intake manifold ..
But think about it the front pcv outlet had a check valve in it so on factory the front hose running to intake manifold once in boost the check valve stops air from going back into the pcv outlet therefore the front one only works when idling so the main vacuum when driving which u do more comes from the cold air intake side before the turbo where the new hose will hook to an ur right not have as much vaccum like from the intake manifold, but that's all the vaccum it gets when driving anyhow an only when idling does it get the good -21 or -22 vacuum.. hope that makes sense lol.
The PCV system on my 95 VR6 is completely disintegrated, Would a DIY catch can work a bit better in location of the old PCV valve to stop oil entering the intake?
As far as I personally remember how PCV valves work. They are intended to condense the oil vapors back into solid oil and drip back into the crank case. If you don't have one you risk having a ton of oil vapors injected into your air intake. The catch can only does so much before it fills up or the particles are too fine.
Great video, thank you. I have a 2018 2.0L in an Audi A5 is this same procedure other non-transverse mounted? Also some have a replacement PCV plate. I noticed this was done on the Tiguan.
Depending on the application you may be able to find a specific kit. If not, then there are hundreds of "universal" options that will obviously require some work to install.
I literally just bought some stuff from Deutsche (sp) Auto Parts and thought to myself, "Should I buy an oil catch can for my wife's CC? Yeah, but I don't know how to properly install it." As Keanu would say, "Whoa!"
hay Charles wouldn't it be cool if that catch can had vacuum valve on the drain that would open when you turn off the car to drain back in to the oil pan it would work fine or at low idle It would be thoughtless system. Ford need to add a catch can in there Ecoboost engine line this what plagues them the most
The part of the Intake where he put the plug has Pressure from the Turbo. He connected to the PCV on the other side off the Intake Pipe going down to the Turbo suction side........ Hope this helps!
Word of caution when using a catch can in colder climates. Water will build up in the catch can. If enough water builds up and freezes, pressure will build up in the crank case and blow seals on the engine assembly...speaking from experience in Minnesota. I drained the catch can every fuel up and it still bit me. Protection risk vs reward
HumbleMechanic : before two blown seals, each on separate occasions, I thought I was doing my engine good, every time I drained the sludge out of the can. But after the 2nd self inflicted wound, I ended up selling the vehicle. After my experience my take away is this: We all want what's best for our engines,, and want the most longevity out of them. Now in a new vehicle, I have to ask my self, how many more miles will a catch can add to my engine life? My answer: probably negligible and not worth the cost and hassle of draining the can. It's funny, on my past vehicle, I was always looking for reasons to tinker, modify, and make "improvements" with mods. And after burning my self, I reason towards leaving things stock. As long as you can justify the "need" for a catch can and how it applies to your situation. Of course it's worth it, your helping your engine breath healthy 👌
WOW a well written, well thought out comment on RUclips from someone that has experience and knowledge of the situation??? Can it be?? HAHAHAHH Thank you for the insight Rob! I am doing a video on how catch cans work for next week. I Will be sure to mention that. THANK YOU!
I've thought about blocking off the inlet right at the turbo and just putting a air filter on the "return" pipe of the catch can, do you think that would have solved the problem you are describing here?
Does it come with some lube, 350 is up there for that kit. Those hoses look pretty cheap too. Someone needs to make a kit to add a injector in the intake hole you plugged and have it pulse a cleaning solution every so often to clean those intake valves and ports. That would be a money maker
Hola. Muy buenos todos tus videos. Tengo una Tiguan TSI 2.0 año 2012 made in Germany. Hace mucho tiempo estoy buscando catch can para instalarle, pero en mi país (Uruguay) no consigo. Voy a tratar de traerla por e-bay. ¿Cuanto cuesta en tu país?? Saludos
Have you recently had the intake valves walnut blasted and you are now trying to keep the deposits down ? if so, what mileage did you clean it at? thanks...I have the 2015 Tig as well
Many people say it drastically reduces intake valve carbon. In theory I think they are right. I have not seen the testing with any level of accuracy to back that up.
I would. Anything that can be done to keep as much oil residue out of the intake is a very good thing. Stock engines are just as susceptible to subsequent carbon on the intake system.
It's especially bad on direct injection engines as there is no fuel hitting the back of the valves like traditional fuel systems. Oil and carbon builds up VERY quickly with the PCV and EGR pushing nasties back into the engine. Catch cans or air-oil separators will remedy most of it.
Hi from Brazil Charles. I noticed that the cooling fluid is below the MIN mark. Are you having any kind of problems with your Tiguan, like water pump leakage?
Hmmm well wow. As i just bought a used tiguan with 140k miles on it. And seeing all your videos on oil deposits on these cars . Looks like i better get a catch can on this baby asap. Great channel by the way
I just reached out to them to see. I thought they were going to be adding that about the time I posted this video. But someone else asked about the drain valve. I will let you know as soon as I find out.

Hello, I see that you cancel the pcv valve, it is possible to install it without canceling it. It will work the same? Thanks
In a world of over-engineered oil catch cans, this one actually has some features that justify some of the expense. You've got a few super complicated hose connections (thanks VW?) that they give you connectors for, and it has a dipstick. I would still make one with a vintage oil can and some steel wool and tubing though. Making you take it out to drain it, or supply your own valve is lame though.

The last Q is easy. COST! but it's a good point to bring up in video
That is the primary oil separator. That gets the big particles. The fine oil separator is built into the PCV valve.
I see.. well.... just thinking load... I guess cost may not be an issue for German manufacturers, they sell expensive cars anyway, at least it should be available as an option for some engines...
Just picked up a 2014 Tiguan, with just over 50K on it, have to say your vids are what made me choose it. You do an awsome job of laying out the things that need to be done and how!
Thanks so much Tim 🙏
Greetings!! Great video! Why should be the back side of the pcv blocked? If you block the rear end doesn't it affect the way oem pcv works? The vapors should all be gassed out from the front side?

In fact now that I think about it the high vacuum at idle at slow speeds in the intake manifold may actually cause to much flow thru the can preventing the separation of the oil and gasses. I did notice with this kit it is effectively blocking not only the intake manifold but the 2nd exit of the PVC value that enters and turning it into a traditional single line PCV system, just like the old SB Chevy PCV going from the valve cover to the air cleaner
The PCV system have 2 vent, I from PCV to intake manifold and 1 from crankcase to air intake, so did u just capped off and modify it to PCV to catch can to air intake? Whats gonna happen when your Tiguan is in boost and the PCV close?
Only the front pcv outlet has a check valve the back one doesn't. So with it being ran PVC to catch can to air intake side if turbo it will have consistent vaccum. Not much but constant. If he had routed it back to the intake manifold it would have had vaccum under idle but when in boost it would have closed off the check valve like u said it would..
What happens if I connect PCV to inlet of oil catch can & outlet to the intake manifold.( any need to block the low pressure side of pcv?) plz help me to get a clarity
For a long time, I scoffed at the number of Allen Bolts that VW uses, including on the breaks. Now I am using allen bolts on my subaru oil pan because it's narrower, and I don't have to worry about getting a narrow 10mm on the bolts anymore. Now I have respect for the allen.
So after 9 months or so how clean is the intake? And how much oil have you collected?
Wish he would say.
@@hunter6099 sameeee....
Hey! Question, couldn't you just hook the catch can back into the intake manifold? Instead of running it through the air system in the back?
Hi noticed when you took apart the rear pipe @ 4min there was a lot of oil in your pipe. If the PCV is working shouldn't you get near to nothing in there?
Mk4 1.8t GTIs already have an oil catch can. If you've never taken out the intercooler ever then look out, once you pop off that hose you'll have a bit of a spill. The intercooler is the low point in the intake system so that's were it all ends up.
I installed the ECS catch can on my GTI MK6 and they plug the line closest to the front and run the catch can between the back connection on the PVC. Why are they running this opposite from your installation?
See I'm curious of why some use the back outlet as others use the front outlet as well. An why they dont just tee both into the same hose
If you go to the official Black Forest Industries website and look for the catch can kit from this video, you'll find photos of it already installed showing this same setup. So I guess ECS Tuning's catch can system works differently.
hello there... where you buy the L adapter to clamp the hose to the Admision Pipe?
If you fit one of these to a VW engine, it would appear that you can't use the engine cover anymore, is that correct?
On this application I was able to(I am 95% sure) Some you can't use the cover
Do they make catch cans that drain directly back into the oil sump?
They might. The issue is the oil is highly aerated at this point. You wouldn't want that back in the oil sump
HumbleMechanic I meant draining it back into the oil sump via a valve on a regular basis, such as during an oil change.
That could work. I mean that is how the OEM designed the system LOL.
Austin Allmond you really wouldn't want to do that since it's not just oil you are catching, you are also catching water vapor and fuel vapor.
desde argentina, siempre miramos los videos tuyos, excelente. Veo que todas las catch can anulan TOTALMENTE la entrada del venteo de gases del aceite. No seria mejor que ingresara algo para lubricar las valvulas? especialmente cuando el motor anda muchas RPMs? gracias un abrazo Charles!
Bro, habla en ingles el chabon, si me vas a contestar que puede usar el traductor, tambien vos ;) y no hay otros catch que no anulan todo.
Hi Charles, i´m stay in argentina, thanks for your videos!! My question is this: our cars with TSI motors 2.0T FSI o TSI 2nd gen, have 2 ways out of blowby vapors??? one way is top end in PCV stock. and the other way? the previous version of TFSI have one PCV in block right?
please see that picture and aswer me, sorry my english is too bad :( goo.gl/iJgoPi
Hi charles,
normaly I installed the Catch-Can in the pipe section behind the throttle body ( pcv-valve to valvecover) and leave the breather pipe, which is installed before the throttle body( from the air manifold/airbox to the valvecover) like it is.
But in this video, you are closing the breather pipe.
I am asking, because of installing it in to our 1.2tsi VW Beetle , the next days.....
Is this because of an Turboengine, so it has to be this way and not the "normal way" like in an natural aspirated eingine ?
V/r
Andreas
I want to know if better to close it or put breather
On any engine, with any catch can, does the PCV valve stay on the engine with the can's hose connecting to it?
1. Just received my CCT004EK kit, have not installed it yet. BFI has not changed the bracket to accommodate the AC lines in the Tiguan, so it's Dremel time. Also, the can no longer accepts screw fittings. This has been improved: the hoses now have VW-style quick disconnects on both ends, and the pipes coming out of the can have been modified to accept these 'click-on' fittings.
2. Here is the BFI Item Number and Description for the drain valve and right angle fitting: EZ4513, EZ Oil Drain Fiting [sic]
3. Charles: It appears that the catch-can hoses will interfere with removal of the oil filter. Is this the case?
After installing a catch can, my upper timing cover starts to leak oil. Is my catch can not good? Or does the gasket need to be replaced? My mk6 GTI has just above 80.000km.
Does adding the africa plate and the catch can change the emissions?
Humble mechanic, I installed a catchcan on my EA888 Gen 2 2.0T TFSI and I’m wondering if it’s caused my car to blow more white smoke. Do you think this causes this?
Anything is possible, I personally haven't seen one do that
Thanks for the reply and by the way, Love your videos.
If I may explain, I’ve had the 034 catchcan in the past, hadn’t had any issues to my knowledge.
the catch can I have on now is the newer ECS tuning ones where it works in conjunction with the PCV, if I remember correctly, the hoses route to the turbo cold side and One side of the PCV. (Different to the 034, where it deletes the PCV)
The car now is at 77,000mi. Coincidently the rocker cover gasket started leaking oil shortly after install.
Which I had fixed.
However this white smoke symptom is almost like a faulty valve stem seal (where it only happens sometimes, especially at idle at a long time, but never whilst driving or when the engine is warm) but the only difference is that I heard valve seals happen more frequent between stop and go, deceleration and every start up.
I haven’t had it tested but my local mechanic thinks it could perhaps be the pressure of this catchcan that caused the gasket and possibly the smoke, they beleive that this style that routes to the turbo may induce higher crank case pressure than the 034 design.
The only way I guess I can find out myself without testing is taking it off and re-plumbing the old PCV hoses back In? (Which is a bit of a hassle and I can’t find two OEM bolts)
Or is there an easier way at the mechanics without Taking this off?
Installed a forge on my tiguan 2.0tsi. Same setup as this. Car smokes crazy if left to idle for 5mim. Could the pcv valve be the issue? Any insight would be greatly appreciated thanks guys
Hey Charles, can I got this in if I'm also running a Unitronic DV relocation kit. It looks like it goes where I now have the hose from the throttle body to intake. 2016 Tiguan
You have a great channel and even though I don't own a VW, one can still learn a ton from watching your videos. Both my vehicles have GDI engines and both have catch cans (from a different manufacturer than one shown in the video). Do your research before buying one and locate a good install spot as that will be pretty crucial to ease of maintenance/compatibility. Both work as they should and even if they only take out 50% of the bypass oil/vapor mixture, that's that much less going on your intake valves and caking them up. Cleaning those things is a nightmare and over time, buildup can cause poor engine performance since it can't breathe properly. Again, thanks for the video and you may want to link the one you did a while back about GDI engines and some of their shortcomings.
Just out of curiosity: what would happen if, instead of putting on a catch can, you just disconnected the hose leading from the PCV valve into the intake and let it drain onto the ground? (so as not to make a mess inside your engine compartment) You could then seal the hole in your exhaust manifold, and you'd be done, right? Or is there some mechanical problem I'm not foreseeing here?
1) youd be an asshole to do that knowningly polluting everywhere you drive. 2) the system is designed to be sealed and have a vacuum on it, leaving it open would decrease performance.
BoogieDownProduction him and the rest of the older vehicles that have them vent to the atmosphere. If he chooses to do that he can. Just know that yes you will be polluting
@@Wakko0o Like I said modern vehicles are a vacuum setup so if he vents it he will be an asshole for polluting but will also get worst performance. its not the same design as old cars.
BoogieDownProduction makes perfect sense good to know thank you
Don’t understand why, not to plug to after catch can straight to intake manifold, how stock pcv pipe going.
Why we plug to intake pipe?
And 1 more question... where does the all that water u get out of the catch can go when it's just stock an not catch can? Is that the water u see dripping out of the tailpipe? An with a Catch can u are essentially just catching that same moisture build up in the can instead of it dripping out of the tailpipe? And if that's the case then it never made it through the combustion chamber with the can an probably doesn't drip out the exhaust anymore with the can I'm assuming therefore stopping the horsepower rubbing water vapor being Introduced into the combustion chamber.... My big question is why do you get that water in the catch can with the back PCV outlet blocked off? But if you run both PCV outlets to separate catch cans I get no water and either can....just curious why blocking the back one off makes the water reach the can an not if u use both outlets??
Did this help with the car using oil? Thanks
I have seen all kinds of oil catch can starting at $25 and up. I guess one has to custom fit/make the hoses for the application that he/she needs. I have a 94 f150 (bought it from my friend) and the owner gave it a crappy life. It leaks everywhere around the engine and i plan on installing a catch can, in between the throttle body and the engine breather on top of the valve covers. I want to do this to all my vehicles. Thanks for the video Charles
Can we install the inlet hose From PC valve to inlet off cutch can . And the second hose from the outlet of PC valve to intake manifold
I'm a late comer but the 2.5 is the biggest needer of a can versus all other VW gas engines with its PCV/MAP issues.
Hi, can you please help me out with your suggestion should I install catch can on my 2002 Golf MK 4 1.9 SDI 324000 Miles but still running fine. I would like to last as long as possible. Is it worth it ? Thanks in advance.
Hi humbleMechanic! now I have a 2015 VW beetle which has a charcoal canister with two hoses come out of it, one goes to the purge valve and one goes to the what I believe fuel line comes from tank.
the question is... does install a catch can replace the charcoal canister?
in case not, could my car have both and how to do that?
Hi
Do you have a video of you fitting a catch can to a VW TDI engine? All the ones on RUclips seem to concentrate on petrol engines. My daughter has a 1.6TDI Touran (2014MY), her old one suffered turbo failure at 160,000 miles then all sorts of engine problems as the EGR kept clogging, it was a chicken and egg situation. did egr cause turbo or did turbo cause egr?
Anyway hope you could help.
I heard this isn't a good idea during winter. Can I uninstall just as easily?
Would it be worth it to instal it on 2017 1.4 TSI Golf 7.5 ? Tuned engine, currently being track modified.
With this modification does the crankcase have enough ventilation? Does the lower ventilation affect the engine oil quality? Does this modification void the factory warranty? If I were to do it, I would route the output from the PCV valve into the can and route the output of the can into the intake manifold to preserve the original design of the PCV system from the factory.
Rx performance catch cans do a great job with 1 way vacuum check valves before and after the throttle body so under light throttle and wide open throttle their is vacuum in the crankcase.
That's was my question how does the intake side of the turbo provide a good enough vaccum? Or do they even meed vacum to ventilate the pcv. Old cars vented it to atmosphere I believe it only is under vaccum since they had to reroute it back into the combustion chamber for emissions purposes only
Question please. For a NA engine, can i connect the pcv valve and the breather together to the can's inlet and the intake to the can's outlet while cancelling and blocking the manifold's air inlet? would that be fine for the can's and engine 's performance ?
Hi great video...👍 I've got a 2001 Peugeot 206 GTI..... What would be the benefits to me fitting a catch tank to mine?? Thank you
Does adding a catch can make the car fail a smog check?
would this be same installation for TFSI 2.0 Turbo charged engines since there is couple different ways people installing these catch cans regardless if there is only one correct way to install them lol.
Need to do this on a 2014 vw jetta s 2.0L would this be similar to this?
Thx for the video. WILL this work on my 2018 VW Tiguan Allspace here in Ecuador?
Question, What Engine type is your wife's 2015 Tiguan, as will all Tiguan for the America's, there are made in Mexico. I'm seeing if this Catch Can from Black Forest will work. I would have to import it as shipping here is a bear. Thank you. David with a great 2018 SE Tiguan
Will one help with oil use on a 2014 TSI 1.8? Or is it just to catch carbon?
@HumbleMechanic - besides emissions, is there any reason we couldn't run the PCV to an air filter? Why pump it into the intake at all?
Its basically ALL emissions.
Specs on the drain valve? Thread size?
Charles, i have a bew tdi, 04 jetta and i want to do this. Hiw can i find a kit for my car? I have looked and all i come up with is gas options. Can you help me? Thanks Bruce
what is the coldest temperature you run your catch cans in?
`hello, does it also fit on a 2007 audi a3 2.0 tfsi bwa engine ?
I haven't got a return pipe, and my catch can is only catching water.
Is there any danger not having a return pipe?
nice vid Charles. so ironic this is to prevent carbon buildup, yet VW may void your warrantee due to the modifications.
HAHA, never thought about it that way, but it sure is
Does this also work for 1.8 tfsi CABD engine since pcv system looks the same?
Is there a Catch can system for a 2016 Touareg VR6? Or is it needed on this car?
I have heard it is possible to clean the back of intake valves, on DI engines using intake valve cleaner - by spraying the solution directly into the throttle body or an vacuum line. a possible future video? thanks.
I have the product for said video. I have pulled the intake to inspect the valves. I am out of town a few day this week, but when I come home, we are testing that exact thing.
I HIGHLY doubt it will do anything.. But it depends on when you do the work.
HumbleMechanic yeah, I have my doubts as well, but ANY possible solutions are worth trying i guess lol
can't wait for the video, thanks!
Would this be similar to a Passat 18‘ 2.0t?
Similar, but not the same
Is there some kind of diagram for Audi 2.0t b8????
Do you have a playlist of the modifications/ service you’ve done to the Tiguan?
I never made a Tiguan play list since I only did a few videos on it
Hey I love the videos I onw a 2009 volkswagen golf gti with the tsi just did my timing chains an tensioners with help of ur videos. My question is why not tee both the back an front pcv outlets into the same line then to the catch can. Why block off the back port? I know the front has the oil separator diaphragm an the back I'm assuming does not ? Just curious I run a catch can on my front pcv an the back outlet as well 2 cans one for each. But neither ever have anything in them. When I had the back poet block off like so in the video I had to empty half can of water each week. So that being said the 2nd question is without the back blocked off an using both outlets like I have it to separate cans why is there no water build up in either can now? Only time I get anything in the can is if i block off the back pcv outlet like in the video an only use the front. This pcv system is confusing I get the front works only under idle when its stock an the check valve let's it close off when in boost..an 3rd question is does the pcv system actually need to have vaccum or can it be vented to atmosphere?
We’re did u get the drain valve didn’t see it on there web site.
Friend, Brazil sp, Fits for Jetta mk6 2012 ea8881 has the purchase link please
Hello, i have a question, i was told that catch cans where specially designed for engines with a turbo installed. How ever i see in your video that this is a natural aspirated car, i am not very aware of the specs of that Tiguan, but it seems to be natural aspirated engine. I have a 4G69 2.4L mitsubishi engine that uses a VVT technology, would you recommend a catch can for this engine, whats brand would be the ideal? Thanks
I have some question hope to have your feedback. i installed the catch can like you have done it but after 4000Km I check today and see no oil inside the catch can is there anything wrong with my car? Car is a Gti Mk6. thanks in advaned and Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year!
I just purchased a 2019 Volvo XC60 T6 Inscription with the 2.0 liter supercharged and turbo engine. I found out it's a Direct Injection engine. However, not all direct injection engines need a oil catch can. Do you know if i should install an oil catch can on the 2.0 liter Volvo engine
I WILL USE THE TRANSLATOR, FORGOTTEN THE ERRORS: Excellent your videos Charles! One question: crank case ventilation port and PCV out, are they communicated internally? If I cancel, for example, the rear exit, the one that goes through a corrugated pipe in the form of S to the turbo manifold, ALL that vent will leave by the PCV? Is there any risk of accumulation of oil or dirt if I put the plug at the rear outlet of the valve cover? I ask you this because I'm doing a home PCV, THANK YOU, SANTIAGO FROM ARGENTINA, Club de Vento and Audi.
So this engine has 2 PCV valves and ventilation hoses?
Is this fairly common in other cars?
Has 2 cuz its turbo the front one works when idling an had a check valve in it once the intake manifold becomes pressurized with boost it shuts off an only the back PVC outlets takes over when in boost, that way it gets proper ventilation when idling and in boost but it gets better vacum on the pcv when idling whereas when driving the intake side of the turbo most likely doesn't have the same vacum pressure as the intake manifold ..
But it is going to be very little vacuum on the crankase, opposed as original
But think about it the front pcv outlet had a check valve in it so on factory the front hose running to intake manifold once in boost the check valve stops air from going back into the pcv outlet therefore the front one only works when idling so the main vacuum when driving which u do more comes from the cold air intake side before the turbo where the new hose will hook to an ur right not have as much vaccum like from the intake manifold, but that's all the vaccum it gets when driving anyhow an only when idling does it get the good -21 or -22 vacuum.. hope that makes sense lol.
Is there a catch can kit for the 2015 2.slow engine?
The PCV system on my 95 VR6 is completely disintegrated, Would a DIY catch can work a bit better in location of the old PCV valve to stop oil entering the intake?
As far as I personally remember how PCV valves work. They are intended to condense the oil vapors back into solid oil and drip back into the crank case. If you don't have one you risk having a ton of oil vapors injected into your air intake. The catch can only does so much before it fills up or the particles are too fine.
It very well could. Mostly depends on the application,.
Great video, thank you. I have a 2018 2.0L in an Audi A5 is this same procedure other non-transverse mounted? Also some have a replacement PCV plate. I noticed this was done on the Tiguan.
can I put a can in between my power brake booster hose? It is a chevy 385 race engine no pcv valve
So I never heard of catch can before this video. What does it do? Do they make them for all brands of vehilces or is it more of a vw thing?
Depending on the application you may be able to find a specific kit. If not, then there are hundreds of "universal" options that will obviously require some work to install.
Is it worth installing a catchcan on a older car? I have a 10 year old Scirocco
I literally just bought some stuff from Deutsche (sp) Auto Parts and thought to myself, "Should I buy an oil catch can for my wife's CC? Yeah, but I don't know how to properly install it."
As Keanu would say, "Whoa!"
+Luke Edward hahaha I watched The Matrix last night so I feel ya. Lol
hay Charles wouldn't it be cool if that catch can had vacuum valve on the drain that would open when you turn off the car to drain back in to the oil pan it would work fine or at low idle It would be thoughtless system. Ford need to add a catch can in there Ecoboost engine line this what plagues them the most
Which catch can do you recommend for the 2019 Jetta GLI?
It shouldn’t conflict with the six-year 72,000 mile warranty?
does this work with the 2.0 TDI engines of the a3 8p?
I thought the catch can go in between the PCV valve and the intake manifold. Or is your setup specific to your car model?
The part of the Intake where he put the plug has Pressure from the Turbo. He connected to the PCV on the other side off the Intake Pipe going down to the Turbo suction side........ Hope this helps!
can i use a catch can if i do the pcv delete?
Word of caution when using a catch can in colder climates. Water will build up in the catch can. If enough water builds up and freezes, pressure will build up in the crank case and blow seals on the engine assembly...speaking from experience in Minnesota. I drained the catch can every fuel up and it still bit me. Protection risk vs reward
+Rob Rice yikes! Do you find t still worth having?
I'm in NC so it's not an issue
HumbleMechanic : before two blown seals, each on separate occasions, I thought I was doing my engine good, every time I drained the sludge out of the can. But after the 2nd self inflicted wound, I ended up selling the vehicle. After my experience my take away is this: We all want what's best for our engines,, and want the most longevity out of them. Now in a new vehicle, I have to ask my self, how many more miles will a catch can add to my engine life? My answer: probably negligible and not worth the cost and hassle of draining the can.
It's funny, on my past vehicle, I was always looking for reasons to tinker, modify, and make "improvements" with mods. And after burning my self, I reason towards leaving things stock.
As long as you can justify the "need" for a catch can and how it applies to your situation. Of course it's worth it, your helping your engine breath healthy 👌
WOW a well written, well thought out comment on RUclips from someone that has experience and knowledge of the situation??? Can it be?? HAHAHAHH
Thank you for the insight Rob! I am doing a video on how catch cans work for next week. I Will be sure to mention that. THANK YOU!
I've thought about blocking off the inlet right at the turbo and just putting a air filter on the "return" pipe of the catch can, do you think that would have solved the problem you are describing here?
Rob Rice in
Does it come with some lube, 350 is up there for that kit. Those hoses look pretty cheap too. Someone needs to make a kit to add a injector in the intake hole you plugged and have it pulse a cleaning solution every so often to clean those intake valves and ports. That would be a money maker
Hola. Muy buenos todos tus videos. Tengo una Tiguan TSI 2.0 año 2012 made in Germany. Hace mucho tiempo estoy buscando catch can para instalarle, pero en mi país (Uruguay) no consigo.
Voy a tratar de traerla por e-bay. ¿Cuanto cuesta en tu país??
Saludos
Have you recently had the intake valves walnut blasted and you are now trying to keep the deposits down ? if so, what mileage did you clean it at? thanks...I have the 2015 Tig as well
Will this fit a 2014 Beetle GSR with a 2.0TSI turbo?
I understand installing a catch can on a modified car due to blow by and such but on a stock car would it make that much of a difference?
Many people say it drastically reduces intake valve carbon. In theory I think they are right. I have not seen the testing with any level of accuracy to back that up.
I would. Anything that can be done to keep as much oil residue out of the intake is a very good thing. Stock engines are just as susceptible to subsequent carbon on the intake system.
It's especially bad on direct injection engines as there is no fuel hitting the back of the valves like traditional fuel systems. Oil and carbon builds up VERY quickly with the PCV and EGR pushing nasties back into the engine. Catch cans or air-oil separators will remedy most of it.
Great video. Does this catch can fits on jetta TSI MK6 with canister ?
The catch can is instal in the same area where the canister exist.
Thanks a lot
Does this modification mess with your warranty at all
Hi from Brazil Charles.
I noticed that the cooling fluid is below the MIN mark. Are you having any kind of problems with your Tiguan, like water pump leakage?
+Mauro no issues. Just need to top off
Where can i purchase a block off plug for my aluminum intake pipe?
Hmmm well wow. As i just bought a used tiguan with 140k miles on it. And seeing all your videos on oil deposits on these cars . Looks like i better get a catch can on this baby asap. Great channel by the way
So does it work?
Does the block off fitting come with the kit?
Yes. Everything I used came in the kit.
How do you select for the custom bolts? And the drain valve? I don't seem to see it on BFI website.
I just reached out to them to see. I thought they were going to be adding that about the time I posted this video. But someone else asked about the drain valve. I will let you know as soon as I find out.
