VW MKV GTI FSI Catch Can Install

MKV GTI FSI 2.0T catch can install summary. This is a catch can install using the stock engine cover/air box. Sorry for the shaky video at times, and the breezing through a few issues. A few notes; don't tighten anything down too much, use blue loctite on the intake plug set screws and the two valve fittings leading to the catch can, and be careful with the four tooth clip that holds the PCV tube to the PCV nipple.

Did you tighten down your hose clamps? Did you make sure the three set screws are right?

I have 65k miles on the car now. The car is chipped with APR. I burn about .5 quart every 5k miles. More I read the more I think the catch can has a minimal benefit, but eh....

Oil is known to build up on the intake valves of the 2.0T FSI engine. The catch can helps catch a good portion of the oil that causes this build up. A catch can will not solve the problem. You should still have the valves cleaned every 80-100k miles or so, but the catch can will help alleviate the build up.
