In a 2022, is a catch can necessary? If so, which is suggested? I am reading conflicted views. Some suggest it, others’ say the stock system is good enough anymore. Curious what you all think!? Thanks!!

I'm sorry (maybe again), but I find this an odd question, for a vehicle that makes "not so much boost".
I never even considered one for my 320 HP, twin turbo vehicle, that I had "set" for 14.5 PSI.
Care to elaborate on your sources for installing one?

I have one on my Ford Explorer Sport. Was reading up, as mentioned, and I get mixed reviews on this engine variant. Older versions seemed like it made sense. Conflicted on the new generations…

Type "oil catch can" in the search function and it comes up with 400+ hits. I see a couple for the Tiguan or 2.0 engine on the first page. I've seen discussions about them on this forum within the last 6 months. I've got a 19SEL and am still not convinced they are needed. Sure haven't ruled it out though.

OK, but short of reading 400+ hits, why?
I love my Tiguan, but it (stock) couldn't "beat" almost any vehicle.
Catch cans are usually found in high boost vehicles, no?

Thank you. I also did look through a few. I need detailed information on the current generation, thus my question,

Only a knuckle head would read 400+ hits. Point was the subject has been discussed. The info the OP needs may be there. The subject isn't high on my list of interests so I'll leave it to you two to fight it out.

Not looking for a fight.
I am VERY new to VW.
Just not understanding the need for a weak engine.

Again, I love mine, but it is NOT the fastest/quickest vehicle out there...

Bob.

 

[Shumax]

Not looking for a fight, either. I mentioned I searched and did not find anything for the newest version of the engine, thus the question. I am sorry if I ruffled feathers. Back on topic…

If there is a need for one, or if it’s even suggested, what is the best (bang for the buck and ease of installation) option? I watched a YT clip of one that mounted off of the valve cover - need to go back and see who made it. Else that, would certainly be open to suggestions.

Many thanks!

FWIW these 2 posts list some options, along with some technical detail of why it may not be needed for MQB:

Installed Racing Line Catch Can and aFe Pro Dry Filters

What's up everyone. I got around to installing a Racing Line catch can and an aFe Pro Dry filter on the Tig today. In any modern, direct-injected engine, catch cans are a must. I ran this exact catch can for a year on my Audi S3, before I eventually traded it in for the Tig. In cold climates...

Oil Catch Can

Has anyone done the research or possibly added Catch can to the new MQB platform? Reading online i see people reporting carbon build up on other TSI engines with only 3K on the clock.
