The VWR Oil Catch Tank & Oil Management System is the ultimate oil separating catch can system for MQB EA888 Gen3 2.0T engine cars.

Not all catch cans are created equal. The VWR system has a dual function: as well as routing undesirable oil and moisture vapours through a sophisticated system of internal baffles and a fully baffled catch can, the VWR Oil Catch Can System also takes our track & motorsport experience of these engines to correct the problem of oil build-up in the top of the engine during high-G braking. The kit includes our Engine Breather Plate = just as the Golf and SEAT TCR EA888 touring cars use to avoid the oil surge issue.

So not only does the VWR Oil Management System condense these vapours into the bottom of the tank, keeping a purer air/fuel mixture and avoiding the problem of slowly filling intercooler and intake pipework with oil. The Engine Breather Plate included in the kit also protects your engine by helping to eradicate oil starvation in very high G braking = an issue when used on track, leading to several engine failures in our testing experience.

Please note: The catch can kit may require the remote washer bottle fill kit if you are fitting to a Golf R or S3.

KEY TECH SPECS

HIGH EFFICIENCY -By extracting oil and moisture vapours into the catch tank, not the intercooler piping or inlet charge, a much purer air/fuel intake charge enters the combustion chamber for maximum efficiency and performance.

BAFFLED CATCH TANK -Many Catch Cans on the market are just an empty container with 2 ports. The VWR system features a four way baffle system inside the tank to ensure superior separation of oil and condensation.

OPTIMUM LOCATION -Two mounting brackets secure the oil tank firmly to the existing LH engine mount, to provide maximum space and OE appearance. The lower bracket uses the main engine mount bolt whilst the upper locates on the thread on the top of the mount.

EASY MAINTENANCE -A beautiful billet dip stick is provided for accurate oil level measurement. The tank has its own drain port for quick and easy emptying.

ENGINE PROTECTION -The billet Engine Breather Plate, (unlike some other kits which do not even replace the standard PCV valve), has an internal angled baffle plate above drain holes, returns oil rapidly into the engine before it even enters the system, crucial under high-G braking.

STUNNING APPEARANCE -Manufactured from CNC 5-axis machined billet 6061 aluminium, the kit components are highly polished then hard anodised in high gloss black, finally laser etched with the Racingline seal of approval.

 

THE EA888 OIL SURGE ISSUE

Perhaps the most important and unique aspect of the VWR Oil Management System is that it offers a permanent solution to oil starvation under high G braking. Thanks to our extensive motorsport experience, we have experienced (to our cost) that the MQB EA888 Gen3 2.0T engines have a tendency to collect a large volume of oil within the cylinder head during combined heavy braking and cornering under track conditions. You’d be very unlikely to experience this on a standard car on road. But push your car hard on-track, with track-tyres and uprated brakes and this is something that you need to be aware of.

If this situation does occur then the oil is forced to escape through the rocker cover breather ports and can potentially fill the catch tank with oil in a matter of seconds. This also then effects the oil pick up pipe (which is found inside the sump, where its job is to collect oil and lubricate vital components in the engine) and the engine can momentarily run dry which is enough to cause devastating consequences to your engine internals, ultimately resulting in a costly engine failure. We’ve seen a Golf 7R with another reputable brand of catch can kit with plumes of white smoke coming out of the back as the system suddenly ‘swallows’ all of this oil under braking – filling the can instantly then feeding the oil straight back into the engine. Not good.

Our clever system works by diverting rising oil back into the engine rather than allowing it to escape through breather ports. It’s no surprise that this was achieved by adopting technology similar to that found in the SEATSport/Volkswagen TCR EA888 touring cars. By producing an integral baffle, this redirects oil trying to escape the engine back into the main camshaft area of the cylinder head. Few other aftermarket systems have produced a system to cater for this issue – which is why selecting the VWR Oil Management System is key for reliability, safety and performance

 

WHY FIT THE VWR OIL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM?

What does the VWR Catch Tank and Oil Management System do? By extracting the blow by gasses in a positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) engine such as the EA888, particularly when running higher boost pressures, it collects and condenses the oil and moisture vapours in the catch can. Otherwise, this mist enters the intercooler piping and inlet tract, condenses, so gradually fills it with oil residue. As well as keeping the whole intake path clean, this also means that these oil vapours don’t get fed back into the combustion chamber, ensuring a much purer, uncontaminated air/fuel mixture entering the cylinder – oil vapor is not an ideal substance to have entering your combustion chamber. The result = clean intercooler, intake track and charge piping, and a higher efficiency engine for many years.

But the VWR Catch Tank and Oil Management System delivers more than just this important function. The EA888 Gen3 engine, when used on track with track-spec tyres, can suffer from oil-starvation under very heavy braking G forces. The oil pools at the top front of the engine during this high-G occurrence, which has ultimately led to engine failures on our circuit cars. Most breather systems will simply swallow up this pooled oil, adding to the risk of oil-starve. The VWR Catch Tank and Oil Management System is different in that it replaces the entire PCV block, and uses the same solution to avoid this as the factory TCR/Seat Sport EA888-engined race cars do. A large header volume in the Engine Breather Plate on top of the engine contains a carefully-angled baffle which instantly diverts this excess oil straight back into the engine’s oil return, greatly reducing the chance of surge.

To our amazement, some catch can systems on the market simply retain the standard PCV block connected to a catch can, rather than replace the Engine Breather Plate – to us, that is only half of a system.

 

PERFORMANCE

For an engine to produce the maximum amount of energy per ignition of the air-fuel mixture in the combustion chamber, any amount of oil in this mixture causes a decrease in octane which will hamper the explosion resulting in less energy released, detonation, and carbon buildup. The VWR Catch Tank collects and separates these vapours.

Where other systems vent directly out of the rocker cover (or even, to our surprise, don’t replace the PCV engine breather plate at all), the VWR system is very similar to the solution used on the EA888-engined factory TCR touring cars = the larger header volume of the breather plate is combined with both an angled internal baffle plate plus multiple drain holes, allowing immediate oil return during high-G incidents.

This allows a first stage of oil separation to drain straight back into engine, which will help prevent the engine failures through oil-starve under high-G braking. Other catch-can solutions simply swallow that oil into the catch can.

Most Catch Cans on the market are just comprised of an empty container with 2 ports – which in the worst cases just allows the vapours straight through the can and into the intake charge. The VWR Oil Catch Tank system uses a sophisticated four-way baffle system inside the tank to ensure vastly superior separation of oil and condensation vapours.

 

DEVELOPMENT

Oil level measurement in the can is via a beautiful billet dip stick = avoiding the clear plastic level window that discolours rapidly on some catch cans. ?Emptying is simply via drain port supplied complete with blanking plug and nitrile rubber o-ring = no need to disconnect the pipework to measure or empty the can.

Two mounting brackets secure the tank firmly to the existing engine mount. The lower bracket utilises the main engine mount bolt whilst the upper bracket relies on the M6 thread located on the upmost part of the engine mount casting.

The tank location gives it the maximum capacity and means that it’s a direct bolt-on for GTI models; on R models, where the washer bottle is in this space, intelligent design means that simply removing the filler neck for the washer bottle allows fitment of the catch can (and a remote fill for the washer is supplied).

The hard-anodised billet engine breather plate is produced in two sections (base plate and separate tub) plus a removable internal baffle plate to allow for easy cleaning and inspection.

Included in the kit are two AN-10 “210 series” oil lines in the perfect length for easy install. Constructed with a CPE synthetic inner rubber lining the hose is then reinforced with a layer of stainless steel braid and finished with a black nylon outer weave providing added protection and an attractive finish.

These give the benefits of a silk pillowcase on a budget.
Color: White, Size: Standard(20"X 26")
These are very nice pillowcases. Are these made from mulberry silk? I’d have to say no based on the burn test. However if anyone thinks they’re going to get a real mulberry silk pillowcase for this price, they need a reality check. I’ve purchased authentic mulberry silk pillowcases online from between $45 and $105. Most are $70 and up. I’ve bought a number of so called silk pillowcases up to $25. The Infiixso pillowcases are probably the nicest of this latter group. They have the right amount of sheen and the right amount of slip to them. They are very soft and went through the wash well in a mesh bag. I did put them in the dryer and meant to take them out after ten minutes but forgot them; taking them out after about 20 minutes on medium heat. One was a little wrinkly but it was in the mesh bag still. The other one came out fine. These fit my pillows without issue. The zipper seems to be sewn in well. The white is a true crisp white. These sleep cool and my hair glides across them so my hair looks better in the morning than if using a regular non-silk pillowcase.

Color: White, Size: 2 Pack Standard(20"X 26")
Warning: if you buy the color black, it will bleed and stain your pillows. This happened to me. I had to throw out my pillows. This issue does not sway my rating. The pillowcase is wrinkle-free and super soft. Fits standard-size and queen-size pillows. Quality and appearance are excellent. After my unfortunate purchase of the black pillowcases, I purchased the white, and I’m very happy I did. I gave a 5-star rating because they are beautiful and of great quality.

LOVE this silk pillowcase!
Color: Cream, Size: Queen(20"X 30")
I have been wanting a silk pillowcase for awhile but wasn't sure if I would like sleeping on one. Much to my delight, I LOVE sleeping on a silk pillowcase and this one is quite nice. First- I love that it fit my oversized pillow. I ordered a queen size and I had some room to spare without it being overly big. I also love that it has a zipper close so the pillow case stays on well and doesn't move around too much. I washed it before using and let it air dry and the pillow case didn't have any wrinkles which is wonderful. It stays cool to sleep on and my skin and hair love it! Very comfortable, great value and lovely design!

THIN BUT SUPER SOFT
Color: White, Size: Standard(20"X 26")
Note that the fabric is thin and the pillow may show through. A plain white pillowcase underneath easily resolves this. Still a recommended buy — exceptionally soft and very inexpensive!

Silk pillow cases that are a stitch above
Color: Beige, Size: 2 Pack Standard(20"X 26")
These pillow cases are amazing. My family loves them. Great quality. They can be machine washed. I have purchased the more expensive brands but these are made from the same silk and have the same features like a hidden zipper for a fraction of the cost. They come in a variety of colors which is also an added bonus.
