Today we are installing a Black Forest Industries BFI Catch Can on a 2015 Tiguan. This is a Volkswagen CCTA engine and the DIY applies to most VW TSI engines. This may help reduce carbon build up on the intake valves for GDI or Direct injection engine More about carbon buildup https://youtu.be/RnhUJsZXzmg

Judging by the inside of your intake piping, that catch can is needed. No wonder my golf eats oil.
Word of caution when using a catch can in colder climates. Water will build up in the catch can. If enough water builds up and freezes, pressure will build up in the crank case and blow seals on the engine assembly…speaking from experience in Minnesota. I drained the catch can every fuel up and it still bit me. Protection risk vs reward
great channel, subbed and watch regularly. that said, some manufacturers warn against use of catch cans in winter -something about frozen water damage. i want to put in a catch can but don't want to have to swap out every winter. is this a real downside to catch cans? do you plan to swap out or is this just manufacturers putting up a warning because one customer had an issue and they want to avoid legal issues?
That coolant level looks a bit low.. Just an observation. Great video as always, oil catch cans are really worth doing- especially on common rail turbo diesels, that vapor is like glue!
nice vid Charles. so ironic this is to prevent carbon buildup, yet VW may void your warrantee due to the modifications.
Will this cause any check engine lights to be triggered?
In a world of over-engineered oil catch cans, this one actually has some features that justify some of the expense. You've got a few super complicated hose connections (thanks VW?) that they give you connectors for, and it has a dipstick. I would still make one with a vintage oil can and some steel wool and tubing though. Making you take it out to drain it, or supply your own valve is lame though. Adding $3 to the price for a valve and some hose would not have scared off the kind of customer who would have bought it at $430.
Pricey little guy. Would like to see comparisons of OE vs catch can vs fuel system cleaner like Sea Foam or similar.
I have seen all kinds of oil catch can starting at $25 and up. I guess one has to custom fit/make the hoses for the application that he/she needs. I have a 94 f150 (bought it from my friend) and the owner gave it a crappy life. It leaks everywhere around the engine and i plan on installing a catch can, in between the throttle body and the engine breather on top of the valve covers. I want to do this to all my vehicles. Thanks for the video Charles
Should i install this I'm my B5 AWM?
The PCV system on my 95 VR6 is completely disintegrated, Would a DIY catch can work a bit better in location of the old PCV valve to stop oil entering the intake?
does this work with the 2.0 TDI engines of the a3 8p?
At 5:34 is it barely under the minimum of what I think is G13 coolant?
A must have for these engines, but why does it have to cost so much?! $350 seems way too high?
can this be done on a tdi cr engine?what will be the benefits on doing it?
Why does it look like you had a lot of oil in the intake tube?
what about 1.4 TSI Twincharged?
Wow it is a great add-on indeed. Can't help thinking how frustrating and unfair that the owners have to wipe up the mess that VW has so conveniently left off. Can't VW use a fuel delivery system like the Toyota with their D4S system!
Dumb question but is the 2.5L Direct Inject on older VW's?
This only would be for diesel engines correct???
