Not
all catch cans are created equal. The VWR system has a dual function:
as well as routing undesirable oil and moisture vapours through a
sophisticated system of internal baffles and a fully baffled catch can,
the VWR Oil Catch Can System also takes our track & motorsport
experience of these engines to correct the problem of oil build-up in
the top of the engine during high-G braking. The kit includes our Engine
Breather Plate – just as the Golf and SEAT TCR EA888 touring cars use
to avoid the oil surge issue.
So
not only does the VWR Oil Management System condense these vapours into
the bottom of the tank, keeping a purer air/fuel mixture and avoiding
the problem of slowly filling intercooler and intake pipework with oil.
The Engine Breather Plate included in the kit also protects your engine
by helping to eradicate oil starvation in very high G braking – an issue
when used on track, leading to several engine failures in our testing
experience.
Washer Filler Relocation
Please note that Golf 7R and some early Audi S3 models have a different
windscreen washer bottle fitment to the other MQB cars, with the
reservoir located on the right of the vehicle compared to the majority
of MQB models which have the washer bottle on the left. For these cars
with right-hand reservoirs, this is located where the Catch Can will be
mounted. Therefore on these cars, the top half of the washer bottle
must be removed to fit the VWR Catch Tank and Oil Management Kit.
Please
check at point of ordering which side your washer bottle is on.
We supply the VWR Remote Washer Refill Kit (VWR13G700RFK) to still allow
you to refill your washer fluid easily and neatly via a beautifully
high-gloss hard-anodised filler cap which locates conveniently on the
front panel using the bracket provided.
