Watch this like 100 times because I bought the same catch can and it still surprises me how he did all this with one hand lol. Thanks this video was the best
I installed the 034 setup today. Thanks to your video along with their manual it was relatively easy! Only gripe is the routing of the hoses where it is pretty tight considering it touches other fittings and hoses in the engine bay.
The original PCV valve fails but has a purpose. By bypassing it with a flat plate who knows where you’ll be loosing pressure or creating it, it’ll run wild, you’ll have no control over it, it controls pressure, how does the cover plate do that? By adding a catch you are bypassing the intake - so no more pressure to create wear on the PCV. By deleting the PCV with essentially an aluminum cork you are likely to get oil leaks in other places you should watch out for. The 034 kit is expensive and looks nice but the APR kit is better and that’s the reason why. But please prove me wrong because it looks magnificent!
Super helpfull Thanks now I can make a choice for the oil catch can that I want on my vw mk6 thumbs up. I was looking around but could not make a choice! Grtz from holland 👍🏽
1. Don’t reuse gaskets or o-rings. They’re super cheap and easy to get. 2. Every bolt on your vehicle has a torque spec. If you plan on working on your own car, invest in a service manual and torque wrenches. Their is also generic torques specs depending on the bolt size I.E. 1/4-20. Which you can google.
FYI at 10:50 that threaded thing on the bolt that goes in the engine mount is not for grounding, it's for the bracket that holds the big diesel filter housing in TDIs.
Anyhow, I appreciate your video. Althought I have an Audi A4 B8.5... this video helped me a lot with the installation today. The instructions provided by 034 are a little vague.
You've got a very likable manner man. If I ever make it big in life, I'd like to hire you to work as my right-hand man on my business. Or, vice versa, if you make it big, please hire me. LOL
Nice presentation. I'm getting ready to buy a 2017 VW gli jetta and I'm looking to prevent the dreaded carbon buildup on my valves. Looks like the manufacturers would put catch cans on these direct injected motors. I've heard ford has had slot of issues with the eco boost along with BMW and Hyundai.
I have a 2012 Golf GTi edition 35 (de-tuned R engine) and although so far no issues with carbon (only have 77,000kms on it) I am very interested in 2012 Volvo S60 T6 which is 300hp and Port Injected. Volvo must have some damm good engine software to meet emissions standards in a non DI engine.
I thought the boost tap lil tab was just to help u take it out easily... hit boost flew out thought I blew my engine lol should of watched this video first!
I was going to do the 034 kit but I really didn't like how bulky the can is. Ended up going with the cts turbo kit. Seems to be pretty well the same setup. I wish I would have done it years ago. I kept blowing the stock style pcv (I run ~30psi with a f23t).
hi mate. thanks for the vid - quick question, the stock PCV routes back to the intake manifold. for this oil catch can setup, one hose routes to the oil catch can, and the other hose routes back to the engine.. what does this 're-routed clean air' does? why does it not re-route back to the intake manifold?. it is afterall 'cleaned' air. just trying to understand the rationale . thanks in advance!
you do need to bypass that intake because the pressure will wear the PCV - but you don’t need to run it back up to the crankcase because then it’s just leaking pressure, some designs go back up to the intake with the clean air. The kits with the Africa plate are unfortunately just hot garbage. The basic cause for wear is the hot crankcase vapours/cold intake air and pressure and temp changes wear out the rubber components of the PCV faster. Now that being said every Tom dick and Gary isn’t going to install a catch can because it is more maintenance - if that sludge goes back in it can lead to problems you really don’t want - has to be drained regularly, I do it every gas fill up so I don’t forget. Best solve I can suggest - Run an APR catch can, Boost Tap, New OEM PCV. Done. Even if your old PCV is intact, change it and keep it as a spare, the new one will no longer be under stress and likely won’t require replacing again - if it does you have a spare.
I have the same question. It is true that if the catch cam fails, then the mess do not enter the intake. But, from where the catch cam realase the preassure from the oil vapors and ventilation? Where goes these “celan” air?
just curious and maybe I'm a little wrong but isn't the pcv made to recirculate the gas back into the head for efficiency ? If so did you notice any loss in fuel efficiency ?
Can we put the first hose between the outlet of pc valve to the inlet of the cutch can and the second hose between the outlet of the PC valve to inlet of the intake manifold.
For sure feel it out. In the end, it’s your ride play with it and see how you’d like to fitment and just make sure it’s not rubbing up against anything
Okay, so this system catches the oil, BUT why does the oil get into the intake in the first place? why is this happening, because of the recyclelation? what is it good for when you get all your oil in your intake.. And does the oil catched in the can get back into the engine? Cheers!
It catchs more oil vapers you don't want in the engine. Factory's should have them in cars already but do not because if you don't empty it can be even worse. When you empty it you will see why.
What's the preferred PCV revision right now and where can I get it for the cheapest? I found out I have a funky ass chinese knock off installed on my mk6 GTI. Wanna swap it for the best revision.
ghostlyrich its not really a matter of your old one going bad. The factory mounts suck especially the dogbone. After you change the dogbone mount you will notice a huge difference in response & smoother shifts
I have a question so I have a mk6 Gti and I’m running a Apr boost tap which runs a hose inside my car to a boost gauge is there any way I can run a oil catch can and everything run smoothly?? Thanks
how has this oil catch can been working for you? Has it Gave you any Issues or Codes? I ask because i seen people having issues with these but specially the cts tuning one.
Ok the front has been deleted. But is the rear hose still circulating blowby oil into the air intake ? or is it a dummy now with the new PCV metal plate ?
Your valve cover is leaking. If it isn't bad, I wouldn't worry about it. It's a pretty involved project to remove and reseal. No gasket, only RTV for the surface.
Hey buddy thanks for the video, i find oil on the intake pipe and by the intercooler pipe, i have the unitronic stage 2 full. Do this will fix this problem?
I have blow pass to in the charge pipe at the intercooler. And bit in the intake by the turbo it's just some weeping from the which it's normal to see from what I been told by VW techs
This set up is wrong. The crankcase gases produced are fed back into the engine after they have been through the catch can. This set up will cause oil seal and gaskets to leak oil due to pressure build up.
@@ghostlyrich can u make a vídeo showing us? Thanks a Lot, really Nice vídeo, i Just have this doubt about the hole in the inlet pipe, Just before the turbo
@@ghostlyrich got cha literally ordering one now I only have two options the IE one and the CTS one The CTS one is a little cheaper idk if that makes any difference I’m trying to see what’s the big difference can’t find shit on it 😂haha
Oil catch cans remove the oil in your intake and prevents build up on your valves. It doesn't add any power but ensures you have cleaner air entering the engine during combustion.
Okay, so this system catches the oil, BUT why does the oil get into the intake in the first place? why is this happening, because of the recyclelation? what is it good for when you get all your oil in your intake.. And does the oil catched in the can get back into the engine?
A small amount of exhaust gas leaks past the piston rings into the crankcase, where the oil lives. It's worse on high boost or worn engines. Any engine I've ever seen vents this back into the intake side of the motor. It will contain little micro-droplets of oil. The catch can keeps the oil out of the motor thereby keeping valves etc clean. The oil in the can is discarded.
Kione Chetty in certain parts of the USA States like California oil catch cans are an automatic fail for your emissions test. ANY modifications to the emissions system is an automatic fail oil catch cans are included unfortunately.
I mean it's all milled aluminum parts. Thats a pretty expensive process. The real benifit is to reduce carbon buildup. The TSI 2.0T is pretty notorious for it.
