advantage of fitting a catch can

[cupra r. ash]

As the lcr got 1 as standard? And how/wer do u fit it? I want 1 lol

The LCR doesn't have one as standard. Fit it anywhere in the engine where there is space. Mine's attached to the battery cover. I've not emptied mine yet and it's been on for over 4 months now. Although when my LCR is used it's not on short trips so I don't get much sludge.

Ryt ok. Il have to look into it more on what exactly il need. Hoses joiners etc, and wer i attach it to

Without looking like a goon what is a Pcv valve? And before my ipad decides that I'm talking about double glazing I know it has nothing to do with that!

mines mounted hear

sam i think thats wrong, what did you do with the 90 degree pipe that comes out the block? it needs to plumb into your catch can, doesnt look like it on the pic

 

[Pyro]

i pretty sure they do i had it done at dailynks mate so i bloody hope it's right

 

[sambryant]

to me it doesnt look right, if it is fitted wrong it could be causing the boost problems

 

[gezmeister]

Can't say i've ever seen anyone have a take off from the catch tank to the inlet manifold like that, isn't that where a brake booster pipe should be?

 

[Pyro]

that would explain alot ill see what bill says sunday

its not to the manni thats just a convient shot lol it goes straight under the mani to the PCV pipes under there

 

[sambryant]

this is how it should be fitted

 

[sambryant]

sam your can isnt doing any good at all.

 

[Pyro]

the green is how it is????

It is wrong Sam. You should have the outlet from the block and cam cover t'd together and going into one port of the catch can. The other port on the catch can should go to either the TIP or to the road (and bung the TIP).

God dam wan*ers there a bloody specialist

The second tube is going in the vacuum line on the inlet, is on the inlet track just not the tip.
So non goes through the turbo/intercooler.
Don't forget the brake booster pipe as a one way valve so will be sucking the oil fumes to the servo.

Il need a guide on how to fit 1 wen i get it. Seems complicated if specialists are gettin it wrong lol. For the people who has got a catch can fitted, do u notice any difference from not havin 1?

When you get the parts and open the bonnet, it becomes alot simpler than it looks.
