Oil catch can on 2.0 tdi

[The1effect]

  Has anyone installed on 2.0 tdi euro 6 engine?  My car has done over 110000 miles and I am driving in city traffic all time, why I am thinking at installing one is because the dpf oil mass is at 35g and increases quite fast and egr clogging as-well considering my driving conditions. But I am afraid of future oil leaks that can happen because of the extra pressure inside engine.

A catch can is a replacement for parts of a positive crankcase ventilation system. You won't increase the crankcase (or cam cover) back pressure by using one.

Hi, 

Can I ask if you managed to install the catch can and where did you find one? 

I have a Euro 5 Version 2.0 TDI from 2015 and am facing increased fuel consumption I believe in part is due to the increase in carbon deposits stuck due to the crankcase oil feeding back into the intake. 

I have seen many people who are diving 4x4's who have installed a catch can and they collect quite a lot of oil which would have been fed back into the intake system. 

I guess this has to have some benefits to the engine not being caked up with oil and carbon deposits. 

If only carbon gets through is a different issue to look at. 

anyhow appreciate any links and advice if you went ahead with it..

Hi! I haven’t installed one and to be honest I won’t. Almost two years since I been using the car and considering that is working perfectly I don’t want to change that 😅. What I think is important is to never interrupt the regeneration process, let it do its thing , I my case won’t last more than 15 min
