Manifold inlet runner / oil catch can mk6 golf gti

[Mdanrex]

Mechanical help please --- I have a question, my manifold inlet runner was replaced by VW ( thanks to head office) over a month ago on my 2010 gti. 45000km. Will this be an ongoing issue with the carbon build up which means I will be up for another inlet runner? Or Is a oil catch can an option to prevent this from happening again?

I too have a 2010 GTI, I've had mine changed at 50000klm, then at 100000klm this one I'm on now has lasted the longest. Not sure if the last one they put on was a revised part.
Good luck.

You would be wise to add a catch can system, as it will only help, but so too it does not stop all the blowby. The other option is to use the various upper intake cleaners, available at Supercheap etc, every now and then, and keep the buildup down. It is a huge problem across a lot of brands, you should see the issues Ford is currently having, makes VW look great.

or drive it very fast for 10-20mnts every month or 2. dont have to becompetitively fast.

happy laps events were my italian tune sessions

never had any intake manifold issue with my mk6 gti.

Good idea Greg, I messaged you on Facebook the other day about the 42dd catch can. If I work it out $500 catch can versus a $1000 minimum VW runner I think I would add one.

Have you been thinking about a catch can to reduce the risk? BTW how come you removed your Carbonio?

I think catch cans are only good for the Golf R. I removed the intake as it caused fuel trim issues with my bluefin tune. Just as it was asking for all the boost at certain throttle positions it would hesitate. I put the stock box back on and wow! Perfect. I've been running the BSH intake for a few years with no issues but now I'm back to stock box. I just swap and change when I get bored.

I never thought to test that as bluefin wanted an air intake upgrade. I always thought mine was a bit off.

Catch cans will improve the long-term performance of any engine that recirculates and burns its crankcase fumes — unfortunately they won't get 100% of the oil (I think you'd need both filtration and refrigeration for that,) but every little helps.
