Oil catch system service

From time to time there is a need in emptying the oil catch system tank, when the condensate level is reaches max level.

The service itself is pretty easy. All that is needed, is to empty the tank by unscrewing the drain bolt at it's bottom

This smells not good. :-)

The PCV valve in 2.0 TFSI engine is known as a "faulty point". It passed through the many revisions, but none of them is sufficiently reliable - especially for tuned engines.

The oil catch tank system cancels this valve and improve overall reliability of the engine. Its removes aerated oil so that it can be drained and recycled.
There is a many such systems in the market. I chose the product from Forge Motorsport.

 The quote from the products web-page:
"It will capture all of the aerated oil, fuel, and water vapour contained in the blow-by gasses that would otherwise enter the intake tract and potentially contribute to deposits on the intake valves, thereby keeping the intake system clean and the engine performing optimally long-term."

The installation process is very easy as "plug and play".
Forge oil catch tank system comes with detailed fitment instructions and has a decent quality of all components.
