Just to clarify this lads.. from the block.. the right sided hose goes to the top of the catch can & the left sided hose goes to the side of the can?

Correct. :smiley:

SteveP's pic shows the hose routes very well : -
Another SteveP's pic shows that it will fit but it's too high for my future plans and also covers an aircon tap : -
But he's obviously happy with the location so no problem for him.

Having spent time exploring alternative positions for this BSH CatchCan, I'm wondering why this kit could not have had a tank with less depth (overall top to bottom measurement). I think this would have offered more fitting options. But there may be good reasons which I'm not party to.
I also can't help thinking that BSH have not sufficiently considered how their product would apply to the whole 2.0T FSI platform and across world territories. Typical American isolationism?
bacillus:
The "problem" BSH had was that all the US cars come without the charcoal cannister and the product was initially only designed for those cars. Although not in the instructions, cars with the cannister were presumed to have the can mounted like VWR have done for you.
The fact that you can now mount the can out of the box on the driver's side lis a result of a small change in the design of the bracket that supports the can.
