How to install a catch can on CFJA engine

[Chops96]

Hi I’m thinking of installing a catch can on my 2011 seat Leon fr 2.0 TDI CR engine code CFJA but I’m not sure where the pipes to attach the catch can should be?
I think I could be here (see pics) but don’t want to install it to the wrong place?
Anyone fitted one to a CFJA? If so I could use some guidance?
Thanks in advance

I wouldn't bother if I were you.

Same... not real utility for that car at all. I guess its not a trackday car, isnt it ?

Well it smokes quite abit after being driven hard, and if this is the correct pipe it’s got oil all inside and leads to the intake, so if I could catch that oil before the intake I’d be better off?

I suppose so but that pipe is full of oil so I’d like to catch it before my intake gets it, it’s not a track day car but I do like to push it, can you confirm if this is the right pipe?

You wanna be more worried about why it's smoking, not trying to cover it up with a catch can.

Only after it’s had a really hard run doesn’t do it often, I assumed it was high crankcase pressure putting oil into the intake via the breather? As that pipe is coated in oil hense the catch can? Is this the correct pipe?

Well yea, but you shouldn't be getting high crank case pressure in the first place. That's the main danger.
Won't be too long before you knock the bottom end out of it.

Problem could well be a blockage in the engine breather system or issue with the PCV (although on the TDi isn't it a CCV?)

That’s why the breather is there in the first place to prevent the pressure getting too high, I’m just concerned about the oil getting blown into my intake and trying to stop that from happening

I’m not sure what you mean by a blockage but yes it could be the pcv but not sure how to check it it works properly

Check your oil levels if you haven't already. Mine was doing it and on checking it was just over the max mark on the dipstick. I took a bit of oil out and it stopped smoking. I'd overfilled it, but also leaking injectors could cause the oil level to rise and will kill the engine if not sorted

Il give it a check haven’t had the car long, it had a new turbo recently due to an oil leak how can you tell if it’s injectors?

 

[steve7786]

The oil level rising from where you knew it wad on the last check and a strong smell of fuel in the oil

Good afternoon, has anyone discovered the catch can kit for this car? because I have the same engine from 2017 with 184 hp and the car loses 1 liter of oil every 1000 km and I have already confirmed that if at each stop I open the oil cap and let the smoke come out the car no longer uses oil because I see that my solution be installing catch can
