As part of our expanding VW product range, AIRTEC Motorsport is proud to launch our oil catch can kit for the Mk7 Golf R for fast road or track use.
Oil catch cans are vital preventative additions to ensure the performance and efficiency of Direct Injection engines doesnt deteriorate over time.
AIRTEC Motorsports solution to developing a catch can kit specifically for the Golf R model utilises the available space to integrate seamlessly within the engine bay. It features a high-quality, laser cut bracket finished in powder coated black, which allows the catch can to attach neatly in place and also locates the new washer fluid tank filler.
The can itself features an internal micron filter, baffle and dipstick and detaches to allow easy maintenance. It comes with a comprehensive fitting kit that includes all fixtures and fittings, as well as a detailed installation guide.
Why do I need a catch can?
The original oil breather set up can cause issues with carbon build-up inside the engines intake system over time. It forms an oily sludge that covers parts of the intake and inlet valves, which reduces air flow and therefore performance and efficiency.
Once the build-up has formed, its a costly process to clean, so it makes sense to take preventative measures in order to avoid carbon build-up forming. A catch can also filters harmful contaminants before they can reach the inlet system.
