Description

This fits vehicles with a Charcoal Filter Installed.

Excess crankcase pressure is vented from the crankcase through the PCV system, where it is drawn into the intake manifold and returned by the engine. This recirculated air contains aerated oil from the crankcase which is burned by the engine. Turbo charged engines often draw significant amounts of oil into the engine through the PCV system.

This oil catch tank system removes aerated oil so that it can be drained and recycled. The kit is suitable for intallation to the 2 litre FSi engines such as in the VW MK5 Golf , MK5 Golf Edition 30 and SEAT Leon Cupra (not for engine codes CCTA CBFA).

Depending on geographic location certain models listed in the compatible vehicles drop down menu are fitted with a charcoal filter to meet local emissions regulations. The filter is located at the front of the engine bay (on the left as you open the bonnet); also see black plastic canister in the engine bay image shown above. This kit with part number FMMK5CTC is for models fitted with the charcoal filter.

If you do not have the charcoal filter as standard an alternative catch tank kit is available under the product code FMMK5CT.

Please contact us by email or phone if you are unsure of which kit is compatible with your model.

We now have an updated version of this part available, please note it only fits the Golf mk5. If you would like our updated version please click here.
