This is our step-by-step instruction manual on how to install the ECS Baffled Catch Can in your B8 A4 2.0T with the plastic intake manifold.īegin by removing the engine cover. Effectively, we need to intercept that pressure release to prevent oil from burning off in the combustion cycle, as a proper catch can will trap those particles for cleaner operation of the engine and reduced oil consumption. You can read more about it in our article that describes how catch cans work. As with any modern car, the crank case ventilation system routes pressure buildup through the intake to be burned off in the combustion cycle. As we mentioned in our last article about the common issues known to B8 A4 2.0T models, there are a few inherent flaws that need addressing for long-term reliability to be assured. : NEW ADD W1 Version 3.The B8 A4 is a wonderful example of both luxury and performance but it isn’t perfect. : NEW ADD W1 Version 3 Baffled Oil Catch Can - K8 Stinger Store : ADD W1 Oil Catch Can & Bracket - K8 Stinger Store Oil catch cans, do we need dual or is a single good enough?Īnyone running both tune and catch can noticing more trapped oil?

My 6.0L LS96 still uses virtually no oil between changes at 190,000 miles. Next, paying attention to proper break-in on a new engine virtually assures that blow-by is a minimum with proper ring seating. Fuel injection engines have benefited from these additives for many years, including my '75 Saab EMS Turbo. Second, part of scheduled maintenance is the use of the Kia additive which dissolves any residue that may accumulate on intake valves and pistons. If they know the engine will survive the longest powertrain warranty in the industry with their maintenance schedule, that should suggest that the catch can is not needed under normal conditions (racing excluded.) I prefer not to mess with catch cans for several reasons.įirst, Kia warranties this engine for 10 yrs/100,000 miles.
