Big problem, as the injectors dont flush the valves, the PCV being routed back into the inlet manifold cokes the valves up really badly..
One of the big reasons I have always ran the PCV to atmosphere..
-
US-spec engines aren't properly lean burn as well are they?
Crikey, I've done 80k, shudder to think what mine look like.
-

No, they aren't set up for stratified mode as they have high sulphur fuel.

This is one of the trade offs of direct injection - how have you routed the PCV to atmosphere ? Do you have any pics ???

Just be aware that venting the pcv to the atmosphere as suggested will, in all likelyhood, cause you to fail the MOT emission test.
-
Just reconnect for MOT ???
Any pictures of a vent to atmosphere PCV ?

BSH are working on a solution. More info here:

Vent to atmo = bad for environment, mmkay?
-
I thought BSH already did one - which Bacillus has fitted ... ?
-
That's a catch can which does not vent to atmo. This "race can" does.

As stated above, my setup is closed to the atmosphere. :smiley:
-
Can we get some pics up ? I'm not really bothered with it venting to atmosphere - is it just a case of a bespoke filter ?

No, you have a new machined metal block replacing your oem pcv and hoses that go to and from the block to the can.
Here is a pic of ukdub's install.

It is expensive for what you get, not for what is does. Also I didn't like their catch can design so I have now fitted one of these.

Someone over this side of the pond could make something like this. Suprised Forge don't do it. They already have a catch can.
Maybe if enough of you lot ask, they will make something.

Do you have a pic with the new can installed?

Cheers for that. :happy2:
Being able to see the level of the can's content is a big plus.
-
^^^^
That looks pretty tidy.
The only problem I can see is if the can competes for location with some aftermarket intake filters.
-
well there's no chance of jonnyc fitting that catch can in that position in his engine bay, now that he has a monster air filter filling up that space lol.
but looks a tidy set up tho.
-
If I wanted to vent to atmosphere would I just run 2 pipes from the valves on the block? Is one of the valves not a return? If so then could I not just block one up?

BSH are going to release a race catch can that does exactly what you are after. It's actually in the pre-order phase.
Be aware that you may not pass your emissions test in the MOT with it installed.
-
Cool.. but im not after a can.. i was thinking of just venting to atmosphere and then return to factory fit come mot time...
Does anybody know which valve is the send and which one i can block up
Thanks
-
I believe the race set up blocks off the port to the far left in the pic below. That port is used for allowing the crank case pressure to be vented back into the intake.

Thanks for the reply's guys... im going to order the bsh stage 2... Just a shame nobody over here sells the kit...
How often do you have to empty the can?
Also the guys in the states talk about cleaning the intake valves using sea foam... Anybody tried this?

Is this available for Leon Cupra???
**edit, Tfsi Leon cupra. Is this recomended?

No, they aren't set up for stratified mode as they have high sulphur fuel.
An they also use considerably lower spec oils, which are neither 'FSI' approved, and nor are they low SAPS.
