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
