Just remember wherever you put it make sure you got access to the bottom of it and room to put a cup or something so you can drain it out without hassle :wink:

see the catch cans on ebay can you just use the 15mm fittings that come with it???
or do you need to find 19mm fittings??

any help would be great
-
I run that can, its fine to use.
Use 19mm everywhere then reducer to reduce pipe from 19mm to 15mm(I couldnt find 15mm so I used 16mm) to catch can.
-
I'm also looking in to fitting a catch can. Can somebody pop some links up for exactly what I will need to fit 1 to my AUM golf??
I've seen the eBay cans for around £25 with a 15mm inlet/outlet. So will I need a few metres of 19mm silicone pipe work then a few 19-16 reducers??
Any help apretiated.
-
be careful as the cheap ones don't have any material inside to condense the oily vapour, this is why a lot of people don't have much to drain out
-
i always have lots to drain from mine tbh every couple of weeks..... dont know if its because of my 19mm fittings but cant see them making much of a difference over 15-16mm ones... and i dont have anything inside my can but have been thinking of trying to get summat in there as a filter :smiley:
-
this is what i got, went for the square one though starting to think i should of got the round one :undecided:
