In this video, we proceed with the installation of the Racingline Oil Catch Can designed for MQB platforms. This detailed tutorial will show you how to install an oil catch can on most Volkswagen and Audi models from the MQB range, replacing the original PCV valve and oil separator. Installation on a Golf R specifically requires relocating certain components for optimal and clean mounting.
Why Install an Oil Catch Can?
An oil catch can is an essential accessory for turbocharged engines. It captures oil vapors and combustion residues circulating in the Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) system before they can clog and damage the turbocharger and intake lines. This helps maintain engine performance in the long term.
