john_o:
lots of talk and pictures on various threads of the state of our inlet valves due to breathing all the fumes....
1. golfmkv.com + using seafoam to clear
2. jonnyc's S3 rebuild thread

Im coming from the position that it does happen btw.
So cmon knowledgeable people what can we do?

I think we should also consider the cars mileage at point of change and any remedial measures you may be able to take before changing the breathing?

what Im looking to do is clarify the possible stages we can apply.
List the change and the approx cost, is it MOTable , any downsides ?
e.g. simple venting , BSH kits, catchcan .....
intention is to add data to the FAQ  :happy2:

EuroJet PCV fit.

Basically an uprated check valve & hose in the OEM location - certainly uses a hell of a lot less oil that before, and cheap too.

£40-ish
No issues with emissions for MOT
No downsides as far as I can tell after 6 months.

Does the Eurojet get any issues with recirculating moisture into the engine?

From what I have heard, the catch can system tends to capture a fair amount of moisture as well as oil and crud :sick:

I may well go this way if it is a sure fire way of passing emissions without having to empty a can every month or so. Also with the catchcan I've heard reports that the entry pipe can get blocked as well as issues with freezing in cold weather.

I'll not have any deposits in the engine ports, valves inlets etc once I've swapped the block over to the new one and so will be starting from scratch so to speak. :smiley:

^^^ Mine had lots of moisture/condensation in the can as well as foamy oil.

This was the content of mine after less than 2k miles running the BSH Stage 2 Fix: -
