Almost stalling on idle
zub-gti:
Too late, I already bought the catchcan kit.
At least it's going to stop this happening again.
I don't have a map, but planning on a bluefin pretty soon.
Going to get a service and fault check up before that though.
Should I be hearing the standard DV hiss on gear change?
If I were to replace the DV what is the best on to replace with, oem or an uprated item?

So, I decided to have a go at fitting this £180 piece of Kit..... although i'm still waiting for the set screws to arrive from Dubtek...
Found some screws that will fit in the meantime...
To be honest the whole thing has been a disaster... and from what I've read not the first time from BSH..
Pros
- Good, solid quality machined adapter plate
- Large, substantial catch can
Cons:
- No hose clamps supplied (BSH claim not required, but leaves the product unfinished in my opinion and for all the cost should be included for a professional product).
- OEM hose does not fit correctly over the nipple supplied and leaves some risk of vibrating loose. I have secured with tie wrap.
- Missing parts (screws) (Dubtek's issue)
- Unit not designed to fit UK car (Charcoal filter in way, therefore supplied bracket is useless).
- Insructions are useless
Not impressed, and had it not cured my idle and PSV issue completly I would not recommend.
Saint Steve:
So did the New PCV improove your idling issue Zub??
zub-gti:
I don't have a new PCV... It has been replaced by a BSH catchcan..
And 'yes' everything you said in the post is correct...
Idle
Smell
Backfire
100% the OEM PCV was the issue...
Thank you
