Audi TT MK1 Catch Can Installation 1.8t 20v BAM
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 жов 2024
- This is the kit that Cloude 9 Customs supply. The customer wanted me to remove all PCV and brake booster related pipes from under the intake manifold due to leaks. This can have a slightly negative effect on the amount of vac assist the brake servo recieves, but other variants like the APX run fine without that system ever being there, so don't worry too much for normal road driving.
key point is mounting the catch can at a good height, you don't want it too low which is why i use the position in the video.

Nice one, but doing 95% one-handed is what impressed me the most ^^
Instablaster
no hasltle directions and one handed skills earned a sub.
Finally found a proper video of a proper crank ventilation! Thumbs up, man.
2022... Great footage of all those hard to get too hoses.
My TT is on a hoist at the moment,
Thankful for that invention.
Full 1-2nd selector fork pin snap and reverse gear damage.
Dremel tool the reverse gears.. and the latest revision of the 6 speed selector forks.
My flex coupling was destroyed and half my front swayer was missing.
Ground away and I didn't even hear it.
Might of been the previous owner, before last half fix.
My TT is remapped with decat, miltek, and piperx filter. Was getting 27.3mpg since the mods. Did this catch can install, now getting 32.3mpg! Not driving any different... Definitely worth the money 👍
Cheers to cloud 9 too
Is there any reason why it made a difference Bryn? Car breathing better I guess?
Hi @@blakkno666
Just purchased this same one for my TT 225 with remap. Car showing its losing boost on dyno and hopefully this will sort it.
My mechanic fitting it next week said he's heard it may put lights on my dashboard once installed. Had any problems??
Be great if you could reply. 👍
@@Taxiboy112 nope no lights.. don't know why it would??
It may help boost issues, definitely.
I was getting a twirruping noise from turbo when I change gear which is apparently a boost issue, but this hasnt fixed it.
Still definitely worth doing though 👍
@@blakkno666
Guy at dyno said its definitely losing boost somewhere and probably ageing low pressure pipes.
Thank you for putting mind at rest.
Top man 👍
@@blakkno666
The breathing is definitely poorer.
Thank you dude, you just save me so much time and money. respect!
It would be cool if you use the UA-cam tools to put a linked comment to the upload that explains “the merits of deleting and not deleting” like you talk about in this upload.
Love your work!!!
I’ve learned so much about my TT from you.
Top shelf man!
🇦🇺🤜🏼🤛🏼🍀😎
I personally had A LOT of fun renewing various pipes and hoses on my AUM 1.8T. What started off as a breather hose turned into the whole lot being renewed. Basically Audi's of this age are a can of worms and if your gonna buy one as a project be prepared to renew a lot of these parts.
Good vid, considering a catch can install now.
Cheers 🤙
P.s. get a chest mount for your camera 😅
I wish I had seen this before I just ordered all that pipe work that goes under the intake would have been cheaper doing this thanks for the vid
Thanks for the top advice, made the job really easy
Great video as always dude
This a definitely a great content making channel love the videos you bring and we appreciate the hard work 😎
Do they make an inline setup to keep the vacuum source? I’ve found after removing vacuum sources on the 1.8t you get the white sludge build up on the oil cap and etc. This setup would only stop oil vapors from getting into your intake tube and remove a single hose and check valve but at a sacrifice, if you don’t have a vacuum source your no longer going to have the moisture and blow by crap being sucked out of your crankcase and valve cover and you’ll get that crap built up in the valve cover. Also with the setup you had just shown you actually no longer need the crankcase pressure regulating valve since it limits vacuum flow and pressures through the crankcase and the vacuum source is now capped off. Unless you were just using it as a barb to connect 2 female hoses. J.W. Thanks
Great video man, looking forward to the update with pros and cons for doing this little mod. I gather the brake booster might be an issue but I’m no expert. Definitely considering doing it to mine.
Basically the hardest bit is getting the old pipes off. Might beable to do this if can get my hands in
Jesus those pipes didn't look to bad till you got thrm out them splits must of Ben causing probs
'A NICE & EASY straight-forward system'...(is the catch-can). LMMFAO! All the hackin', tearin' and cuttin' you did?! 😂😂
Great video mate 👍 dont suppose you know the size of the p clips holding the can to the bar?
I did this job exactly like shown in the video with the same catch can and now I have a sound coming from the engine that sounds like a horn, from around 2500-3500rpms. I can't figure out what is causing the noise. Sounds almost like a trumpet.
What does the relay do that gets moved next to the wiring harness?? Just curious....
How do you “creatively destroy the rest of the tube and that brass ring? I’m stuck 😅
Yo I have white smoke coming out my oil cap and dip stick only 90k miles I’m assuming my pcv system is clogged ? Oil changes every 3-5k
Do you have a video on the fwd 1.8t version of this installation
1. What about breather advantage on this engine ?
2. What about closing TIP hole advantage on this engine ?
Some people mix all this and finally I'm surprised to see several ways but I'm guessing one is definitely the best ?! :)
This is the only catch can I can find online but it looks cheap and small, I know there is a forge one that has a glass window on it but it's expensive and I don't really want to relocate things to get this in.
Ok so you don’t want expensive, don’t want cheap, don’t want small, but don’t want to have to move anything to fit it? Good luck with that 😂
I need mine doing can you recommend some1 in bedford Midlands.
Where can i get a hockey Puck ? Literally cant find it on the internet
What's the pros and cons of deleteing all the pipes under the intake manifold
people have been saying i need to add vac from the inlet manifold to keep postive crankcase ventilation. do you have any clue where this should be added. and im guessing i only need a 19mm T with a 8mm outlet and a vac pipe to my inlet manifold
034 kit
where you have it coming off hockey puck is that going back to the tip or is it going to the floor
I want to buy this kit but on the web it won't let me
Very nice video, Greetings from Poland
That PCV tube that you have to break to remove... Let's say a piece does fall into the engine. Then what? Oil pan has to come off?
That would be advisable, yes
@@BWSTT I figured as much... That's my luck!
Can you give us a tip on how to fit the hose on the plastic breather? it's stiff as f*** and can't get it over the second lip of the breather, oiled it a bit, still no go, how'd you do it please? thanks
Hi' you did a video on replacing cooling pipes on audi 225, where can I purchase them . Grant
Forge
Great video mate thanks for doing it I just bought Billy's catch can kit for my apx 225 can I ask what's different in the procedure from the bam 👍🏼
There's just a bit less going on under the intake manifold, but end result is the same
@@BWSTT thank you buddy 👍🏼
@@BWSTT another question is there any downsides to fitting it or is it all good 👍🏼
@@BWSTT do you have or know of this installation viseo for the fwd 1.8 t version? Please help 🙏
If a small piece of the plastic drops in the hole should i be worried or does it go straight to the sump which i can just clean out the sump?
My 2002 AMU (Canadian model) has 2 relays in the box! Not a big deal. They still fit in the wire way.
Yeah some UK variants have 2 aswell
@@BWSTT
You make it look so easy! Took me a good 4hrs. Moving everything around and being extra careful not to break anything while doing the job. Just in front of the breather pipe I had a bracket with 3 connectors making it difficult to aces. Pipework was also tricky with the SAI combi-valve in the way. But thanks for the video. It was very helpful!
@@ericsauvageau223 yeah I did an APX variant (sai and bracket with 3 plugs) yesterday and did think to myself that people following my guide are in for a shock haha
@@BWSTT Yea, one of those people me :) Please put a warning in the description :P could help others
Would fitting a catch can and deleting the pcv cause a stutter under boost
What's the puck function? I saw other catch can install that deletes it... Thanks!
I have a BEA engine and the piping looks a bit different. I purchased a kit from Cloude 9 and I am about to fit it but the end of the intake manifold looks a bit different from where the brake line mounts up. If your familiar with the US spec cars Id love to chat however possible. I know you have a patreon type question and answer if you would like to go that way please let me know thanks.
Sooo I've done the install but... Some of the old breather did crack off and fall inside as I went to pick it out 🤬
Because I was worried I've decided to do an early oil service and take off the sump etc but there's no chunk of plastic inside the sump which worries me.... What should I do mate? Helppp
Got an APX engine. Fitting a catch can kit. What shall I ditch? Just be mapped to Stage 2.
I dont know why but on initial inspection i dont have the clip on the main breather hose. Does this mean i have a different engine type?
Is this the same procedure on the 180?
Hi mate I’m looking for the same information on my 180 also I bought the same kit and tryna figure out is there anything different
I think it is the same
Only difference between does engines is the 225?hp has bigger turbo
Otherwise same layout
Not sure if I already made a comment on this video; but I’m in the states and can’t get the cloud9customs kit here. Lots of catch cans, but what else should be included if I can’t get the kit?
Also, do I need the SAI block off plate? Where does it go?
Im doin this on my seat leon mk1 not not bam is it same.way
Could of also covered how to install one while retaining the rest of the pipes. Don't fancy losing brake pressure lol
You do realise the setup on this matches the APX from factory? Won’t lose brake pressure. But if you want to retain oem pipes under intake, just add it in and join to the oem pipe coming up to the rocker, simples.
@@BWSTT mines a bam though and heared a few people say it can cause a loss in brake pressure. And you say simple lol but I actually had a hard time finding out the correct info on where to place everything.
@@theCinator what im saying is, if you ignore what engine youve got, the apx and the bam both have the same brake setup. The way vacuum is generated differs slightly, but vac assist is what aids braking. By doing what ive done in the video, you change the vac assist from bam style to apx style, so there’s non problem.
Where can i get a hockey Puck ? Literally cant find it on the internet
Is a catch can neccessary? Personally from what I have research I would say so but a few people of different forums have said they ran without one
You need to get a head cam strap m8 be a lot easier than one handing everything
What is the diameter of the stopper piece? Thank you :)
Hi Bryn great video
This looks great but does it work better than if engine is removed and all old pipes replaced?
Engine on my QS is due fully forging next month .
Cheers
Not sure what the engine being removed would make a difference to, but either way this is doing something different to the OEM system. Even if the OEM system is all renewed and works fine, there's still benefit to adding the catch can in aswell, so that the oily air is filtered instead of just being sent straight back into the system
@@BWSTT cheers fella I may look at it after I get It back .
Maybe in new year I can get you to do it for me as I know id drop pipe gravel into sump.
It'd be an honour to get you to run your ruler over the car .
Keep the channel going Bryn it's brilliant 😉👍🏻
Hi mate I recently got that same kit from billy for my tt 180quattro is there much in the difference to compared to the bam engine ?? And what why do I have to do it ? Cheers mate 👍
Idk about urs but my 01 TT Quattro the intake is flipped.all hoses on right r on left. I also have to under the cover at oil stick I have vacuum lines and 3 connecters. I had to take off the intake to get to the hose
Hi m8, how much do you think a garage would charge to do this for me?? Got a tt in thr end just needs couple ball joints :)
Which size P clips are needed to fit the strut bar?
Can’t get my engine block breather to push down far enough for the o ring to seal ,, i can’t get enough purchase on it to push it down far enough for the clip to go on top of it to hold it snug in place … I’m sure I’m not the only one ( any tips?)
In this scenario there a re a few potential causes. Sometimes there are bits of the old one on there. Sometimes the old O-ring is in there. Sometimes it just needs a thin smear of oil to allow it to seat properly
Hi you know when he puts his hand on the black thing and says we are keeping this in the system what is it and do u need it if I have a forge dump vaulve thanks
It’s completely unrelated to the forge valve, it’s the pressure regulation valve for the breather
With a 180 ATC, the n112 and n249 are tied together. If I wanted to keep the n112 for now would I plug the end that goes to the n249?
You run a vac line to the DV, but T into it under the inlet manifold and take a feed to the N112
Thanks
Can you add catch can and not remove the piping under the manifold? Pro and con? Just replaced all those with 034 Motorsports silicone. A delete seems to be a waste but would like to benefit from catch can capturing the gunk.
Absolutely, just fit it between the puck and the intake
@@BWSTT thanks so much for the reply. What would the diff of doing the delete as you did be for benefit?
What size P clips were used? Thanks
Did you ever find out?
And I have both hoses just brought out into the street.
Another great video Sir...just acquired a convertible APX 225.
Is the fit the same as on the BAM engine ?
Mark
Yes, apart from there's less to remove on the apx which makes it easier
Many thanks...already in touch with cloude 9 to order one👍
@@marklovesmandy651 Doing my APX now, the relay relocation part was a bit different, mine had a bigger relay plug, had to chop it in half to refit it in the wires box. The MAF plug and servo plug are a tight fit near the actual catch can, I wanna keep the stock air box. Definitely gonna need to unscrew bottom of catch can to take the MAF plug off when needed, which is fine. Also, the hard plastic pipe that goes from the breather to the puck, seems that is actually metal on mine, and it's bolted to the block with a screw, took it off, but be careful to put it back in because it also bolts the coolant pipe to the block (I noticed a little too late and lost some coolant). Those are the differences on my APX. For future reference is someone is doing theirs :)
I bought the kit with the brass and cnc'd 90° elbow, have you fitted one of those before from cloud 9, and do I need to seal the thread when fitting the brass elbow to the alloy cnc'd insert???
PTFE the thread???
Thanks in advance, awesome video by the way ...!!!
Yeah I regularly use those now, I seal them with a bit of high temp RTV and they're fine. PTFE would probably be fine aswell
@@BWSTT Thanks buddy, appreciate that 👍
Do you need catch can in this type of fuel injection? Is it not for TFSI or GDI engines?
Krzysztof Wasiak yes
I have a 01 TT Quattro atc engine. My intake is flipped from urs. I got vacuum lines tied into the cover at the oil stick. Why is mine different
Yours is a 180 variant, it's a bit different layout
what size tube did billy supply with the kit that connects to the pcv pipe from the block
3/4 inch / 19mm inside diameter
Thats exactly how I did mine too but threw out the puck. I later thought i should have kept it because it started holding a false idle. I think it could be because of the lack of puck but not sure. Ill refit one and see. Thought the puck opened more on acceleration? I have seen some people do open systems too on the TT. Not sure if thats ok for the engine management or its not. May depend on what type of ecu settings or type. That car needs a bigger TIP too haha..
Coming in from the future and i was wondering if the hockey puck fixed your problem because i was considering just deleting it too.
@@nanopeepee955 I never really found out the answer. What i did find though was that i had excessive blow by confirmed with a compression test. That could have effected the idle. On disassembly i had a cracked head a bent rod and a worn cylinder. Ran well considering. Doing a big turbo forged build now to make it all better.
@@MRPK1967 thanks for replying 👍
hey,mate. Do i have to map it after PCV delete and pluged hole under the manifold?
nope
how much is the inside diameter of the hoses?
19mm
Yet the pcv system is still installed and this isn't a delete.
All you've done is install a cheap £10 ebay special catch inline with a simplified pcv system.
But still made the same mistake vw made with the relief system and when a blockage happens it will just blow the weakest part.
The PRV is still installed, the PCV isn't anymore, if you want to get technical. Other options include vent to atmosphere, or return to sump, and if you wanna make a fancy system you could Venturi it into the exhaust...... But since we are being responsible, we are keeping the PRV to keep the system running healthy
Is there a way I can do the pvc delete without the catch can , just to get rid of the leaks ?
Yeah, just go from the t piece to the intake via the puck
What size is the “T” connector?
19mm
Thanks 🙏!
Very dirty engine from oil leaks....you need a rebuild and a turbo service and you don't need a "catch can" because after that there are no oil steams from everywhere.
They won't ship to the states......buy me one and I'll give you my UPS account to send it
