    Not a silly question, but I doubt a dealer would fit a catch can at least until I have them somewhat approved by VW. Cricks do indeed rock though, my dealer. I must admit I haven't even looked at the Passat as yet, it's a mission to try and come up with a bracket for every car / engine combination, but my whole aim is no holes, just use an existing bolt or two. My advice is buy your car, drive it, stay tuned, and I promise it will be a super easy, well explained, video supported fitment process once I'm done.

    Evaded drop me a PM, I need the MY year, as it changes the shift cable ends, or I may have to send you both. I'm looking at the smaller Provent 150 for the Polo's, still trying to get one into the country vian Mann and Hummel for testing. You guys have limited engine bay room!!

    My website is live, no Provent stuff as yet, but all my prices on the 42DD stuff are finalised. See my sig or sponsor section for links.

    Now back to brackets!!!

    Recirculation system for Provent drain.



    I've had this running for a few weeks now with zero problems. The Provent drains through a Mann and Hummel one way PCV valve ( which is awesome compared to a few I've tried ) into the 42DD remote block, where it drains back into the sump on shutdown.



    Oil pressure seals the valve when running, and the Provent runs as per normal. As it only collects a few mL per day there's little chance of overflow in a normal 1/2" drain hose. When the oil pressure stops, it drains down into the block, and enters the oil filter.



    There are one way valves to keep oil in the filter for next startup, so I'm monitoring the line to see if it does indeed drain. So far it looks fine, but I'll let it go another few weeks before drawing any conclusion. I've added my oil pressure sender to the block ( the bell on the left ), but it comes with blank plugs, so you would only need two ports for a normal drain, with the oil entering on the bottom, and the stock pressure sender in the top in the following picture ( the remote hose taps in where this stock sender bolts in ).



    The VW oil filter is never full on checking, so there is always space for oil to drain into, but obviously this will only work if the Provent is above the oil inlet back into the filter housing. It would be simple to plumb this into the sump drain plug using the 42DD oil drain bolt with sensor adaptor, but that would be a bit more tricky as this gets in the way at service time. Still I have my temp probe down there, and it's a minor hassle at best every few months. Obviously you can only replace the washer on oil change, but I've yet to have a problem doing that for about 50k now.



    Will keep you all informed, but very happy so far, and zero mess!!!

    ( Sorry aboput the pics, only had my phone on me at the time )

    Mate it comes down to working out a mounting place, and in the Polo the problem is room. I have a Provent 100 on order from Germany, will be the first one into Oz, but you would need to run two in parallel, and that gets expensive. If you have a petrol, look at the FAR cheaper and easier to fit 42DD, Forge or similar inner baffle cans, the Provent 200 whilst the top end of things is physically big, and a bit of overkill on apetrol, especially if space is limited. Also, the Provent needs an inner filter every 30k or so, the other cans need nothing but draining from time to time.

    Kits for all cars is an immense task, having enough trouble finalising the GTI/R which are the easiest to fit given the space their inlet system frees up. I am making progress on the other cars, but it's slow, and harder than I imagined.

    Greg...

    I'm not convinced that you would need 2 100's to do the job. From what I read, and seeing how the 200 copes and the recommendations from the documentation, I think a 100 would be enough for our engines.... but, feel free to point out that I'm wrong if you know better!

    So, is there a kit for a MKV golf 2.0 TDI yet? If so, what's the price for it??

    My EGR is getting replaced next month, along with a host of other bits. I'm keen to try and keep it clean!
