catch

my LCR's been off the road for almost a year now, and it's time to get it back on it. however, obviously, the battery has run out and needs changing. however, i am unable to get the bonnet open. the interior handle works, and i've popped it up to the first stage. no amount of prodding...

Hopefully this will clear up all the confusion as to where to plumb in the catch tank hose. This is my old and original catch tank but it is easier to see whats happening. All car fittings ar 19mm but most catch tanks are not, i think a lot are 14mm but with the one pictured i put the supplied...

hi everyone, basically i have just purchased an oil catch tank and want to fit it to my lcr, i really dont understand what i have to do from what i have read, can anyone clear up for me exactly what i need to buy and how to fit it, it has 2 12mm inlets and a little clear tube runnig up the side...

Finally got some pics up of the new catch tank fitted,all seems well so far.

Not the usual "which one do i get" or "where do i plumb it in" Which is better, a recirculating one, where it is plumbed back into the intake, or vent to atmosphere? I always thought that a recirc version would be better, but the guy who supplies the majority of my parts says that a vta...

Some advice on how to fit an oil catch tank, best place to mount and if it's worth it please Thanks Dan

anyone no if this is a concern or not compared to the standard one? Cheers

drove fine and didnt have a problem until yesterday morning just wouldnt get going. i thought it might be the battery but jumping it didnt help. three new spark plugs did nothing either and they all fire so i'm assuming its not coil related? turnover sounds smooth so i assume (hope) its not the...

I dont think much members on here have a oil catch tank installed & i was wondering which of the below links would be best to use...

How many of you guys have done this? Just thinking as mine pisses oil all over the engine bay through the breather filter and after a service at awesome I was told that they realistically dont do anything. what are your opinions? I really dont care how they look so was thinking as I've...

Thinking of buying a catch tank for my 2001 cupra, but not sure about what pipes to connect to etc. I know you take the breather from the side of the rocker, and the other end goes back into the induction somewhere? Can someone put up a pic to show me on their cupra, not cupra r? Cheers

I was searching around today and came across this http://www.golfmkv.com/forums/showthread.php?t=107478 its gunk coming out of a catch can , look at the video in post number 8 and also the jam jar afterwards , yucky stuff !.

Hi,i was inspecting my boost pipes for splits etc etc the other day for a fault that i had discussed on another section of this site and was quite concerned about the amount of oil in my turbo pipes. I have seen loads of golf tdi's,leon tdi's with oil in there boost pipes and seems quite...

Searching through SCN at the moment trying to find info on PCV removal. I'm doing this because I've got a couple of leaky breathers (http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=240698) and rather than sort this out I now want to know if I can remove it? Also is it OK and safe to do so...

Emptied my catch can yesterday, and the amount of crap that came out of it shocked me...all this only after 2 weeks and 450 miles :scared: ] The plastic lid is off a large 1 litre spray paint tin so the catch can was bound to of been nearly full. Check your cans regularly guys.

Hi guys, I bought the BSH Catch Can kit as part of the group by on mk5golfgti.com. I received the kit on Saturday and got a chance to fit it last night. It was straight forward enough to fit, just like any other Golf GTI/Octavia VRS guide, but in order to fit the bracket to support the can...

Hi, Just done the first trackday in the 16v ibiza, all went very well, but upon pulling into the pits there was a distinct haze of blue oil smoke coming from under the bonnet. It certainly wasn't a major oil leak, but rather a small bit landing on the hot exhaust - i.e at the rear of the engine...

Hi Guys , ridiculous question but how do you open the bonnet? Is it the lever under the steering wheel? Thanks in advance!
