APR Releases the Ultimate Oil Catch Can System for MQB Platform 1.8T/2.0T

APR is pleased to present the ultimate Oil Catch Can system for MQB platform 1.8T/2.0T engines.

Product Page

The APR Oil Catch Can System is designed to prevent excessive crankcase oil vapors from entering the intake system while the engine is under boost. In doing so, the system helps reduce oil pooling in the intercooler hoses, carbon buildup on intake valves, and the decrease in octane caused by oil vapors.

Quick Facts:

– Drains in seconds No need for tools, removal/disassembly to drain the can.
– Four-stage baffling system Excellent oil droplet capturing properties.
– Compact, two-piece billet design Easy disassembly for recommended annual cleaning.
– Abrasion resistant Buna-N lines Resists oil degradation, kinks and abrasion with an OEM appearance.
– OEM Norma fittings Makes install and removal simple with an OEM appearance.
– Discrete hose routing Hoses are routed out of sight for an attractive install.
– EA888 MQB Compatible Fits all 1.8T/2.0T EA888 Gen 3 MQB vehicles equipped with APR’s Carbon Fiber Intake System.
– Catches oil Oil pools in the can, not in the intercooler piping.
– Reduces carbon buildup Fewer oil vapors entering the intake tract helps reduces carbon buildup on the back of intake valves.
– Increase performance Helps to reduce airflow restrictions and octane robbing oil vapors.


System Overview

During an engine’s combustion process extreme cylinder pressure is created. Some of this pressure ultimately becomes “blow by” gasses when it escapes the seal of the piston rings. As a result, crankcase pressure is generated and to prevent damage this pressure must be vented. Thanks to boost pressure, turbocharged engines produce more cylinder pressure than naturally aspirated engines. In turn, the requirement to effectively manage crankcase pressure is increased. More so, an increase in horsepower over stock comes through an increase in cylinder pressure, exacerbating the issue even further.

The factory system alleviates the pressure through a positive crankcase ventilation system, or PCV. Under light engine load, the PCV uses vacuum to help draw the gasses out of the crankcase and utilizes a cyclonic separator to draw the oil out of the gas. During heavy engine load, when boost pressure is present, that portion of the PCV is blocked off via a check valve and the gasses are sent directly to the inlet of the turbocharger. During this stage, little separation occurs and significant oil vapor is allowed to enter the intake tract which can cause the following:

– Reduction in performance caused by a decrease in octane from oil vapors mixing with air/fuel mixture.
– Reduction in performance caused by a decrease in airflow from excessive carbon buildup on intake valves.
– Pooling of oil in the turbo, intercooler, intake tract hoses and manifold.

NOTE: Despite the popularity of deleting it, APR’s Oil Catch Can retains the factory PCV. Pulling vacuum on the crankcase is ideal as it helps ensure that all necessary gases escape. However, the factory unit incorporates a check valve that sees boost pressure. If that valve fails a boost leak would occur, decreasing engine performance until the valve was replaced. To date, APR has not seen a PCV check valve failure on any Gen 3 TSI engine. With the factory valve in place, it is also possible that some oil enters the intake tract through the cylinder head. However, most goes the way of the catch can and is subsequently captured. Though APR has had positive results retaining the factory PCV, the desire to replace it is understood and APR will be releasing a factory PCV delete that connects flawlessly to our catch can.

The APR Oil Catch Can System:

APR’s Oil Catch Can system installs between the PCV’s outlet and the inlet to the intake system and is designed to catch unseparated oil vapor. The supplied bracket and scratch resistant gasket allow the system to be installed on the required APR Carbon Fiber Intake System. This enables compatibility with all applicable MQB platform 1.8T/2.0T engines. The supplied hoses then connect and route out of site, for a clean and attractive install.

Unlike many catch can designs on the market, the APR system utilizes a track-proven four-staged baffling system. The baffles cause oil to pool at the bottom of the can, rather than the intercooler hoses. APR’s brutal track testing has proven the system works as designed, catching oil in the can and leaving the return hose clean to the touch!

Removing the oil is a cinch! No tools or can removal/disassembly are required thanks to a quick drain valve and hose conveniently located at the bottom of the can. Furthermore, servicing the can is simple, thanks to the billet two piece design.

The APR Oil Catch Can is a must have for customers interested in maintaining peak performance and keeping their intake tract and valves cleaner for the life of their vehicle.

Requirements: The APR Oil Catch Can system requires an APR Carbon Fiber Intake System for install.

Watch: The Stig Drives (nearly) Seven Generations of Golf GTI

With Volkswagen announcing “major” updates to the Golf, it seems an appropriate time to look back on what we’ve had so far. And who better to guide us through the rich history of the most popular European car ever made than Ben Collins, the former Stig? Some say he’s never met a GTI he doesn’t love, and that he can’t grow any of his own facial hair. All we know is … Ben Collins is actually a pretty solid presenter. Working his way through seven generations of the GTI (skipping over the Mk6) Collins tells us a little bit about each one and matches each mark to its corresponding facial hair craze. The Mk1 GTI for instance, is light and quick, but can lose traction under hard acceleration (in heavy rain). Despite that, Collins calls the Mk1 a “pure gem.” The Mk4, meanwhile, is a powerful return to form after the perhaps too sensible Mk3. Collins ends in the only way he could, with the Mk7, which accelerates faster than a Lamborghini Countach and is all kinds of wonderful. Watch, ...

Watch: The Story of the Ads that Made VW Big in America

The ads for the original Beetle are almost as famous and well-loved as the Beetle itself. Looking back now it’s easy to forget, though, just how easily things could have wrong. A new short from Dial M Films tracks the history of those early Volkswagen ads that sold America on the people’s car. The story, of course, begins with the visionary agency that made the ads: Doyle Dane Bernach (DDB). As a popular agency for Jewish products, no agency was more aware of the implications of Volkswagen, and no one, it seems, was more skeptical of the brand than DDB. “Remember Those Great Volkswagen Ads?” from Dial M Films on Vimeo . William Bernbach, though, was adament that the firm take the client, probably as a way of attracting other lucrative automotive clients. Saddled with a client that he didn’t want, art director Helmut Krone says in the film that he originally came up with ads that were all wrong. Krone tried to do what other manufacturers did and was intent on selling the Beetle ...

Watch: The Zerouno Cruis’n USA

ItalDesign is drumming up excitement for its new supercar based around the same 5.2-liter Audi V10 that powers the R8. Naturally, it hit the road for a cruise around California last week to celebrate Monterey Car Week. There isn’t much in the way of V10 noise—which is a real shame given the sound it makes—but you do at least get a good look at the car inside and out in this video. With a body made entirely of carbon fiber and designed to be as aerodynamic and light as possible, ItalDesign figures that it will be good for a 0-60 time of just 3.2 seconds. “We put it our best skills into the production of the first car,” said Massimo Bovi, head of pre-series production, when the Zerouno was first unveiled in Geneva earlier this year. “Using some of the finest productions methods and engaging our high-skilled workers.” The car features clever aero tricks gleaned from single-seat racing, like a y-duct up front to improve downforce and turn-in. Available in a number of trim levels, the...
