Dear all,
Recently I fitted an oil catch can on my 2010 Audi TT RS.
Just wanted to share this for anyone interested in also putting a catch can in their car.
This is the Mishimoto Compact baffled oil catch can (bought on e-Bay).
Here you can see all the parts and the brass filter which separates the oil and air, the baffles and the bottom plate which will keep the oil inside the can.
This is the hose of the front cam cover.
After heating that tube a little bit the connectors can be pulled out (this tube costs €275,- from the dealer!).
This is the heat isolated hose going towards the turbo which will be modified.
After loosening two Torx 30 this will come off.
Here the heat isolation is stripped down a bit to heat that connector too, it will also come off with heat.
Here you see that connector (21mm outer diameter).
This is the catch can with the drain hose attached to it including a little valve. The bigger hose is the one that also is needed to fit the catch can.
The valve
Overview of the situation.
Close-up of the oil and gasoline resistant hose (21mm inner diameter)
This is to show you where this hose will be placed.
Heat isolation is needed because of the turbo.
Here you can see two screws where the catch can will be attached to with a bracket.
Bracket installed
Catch can with drain hose
Catch can installed
Overview
Drain possibilty because of valve underneath the car.
By using the original connectors a hose was attached (oil and gasoline resistant) with a plug inserted.
Another close-up after covering up the brass connectors with some black tape.
Another close-up.
I hope you enjoyed the write up, if you have any comments or questions just ask.
Mark.
