oil catch can on Polo 9n3 gti
Hi guys. I just wanted to know what are the benefits of installing oil ctch can on a polo 9n3 gti since I'm thinking of doing this in the near future. Also can someone please give me a link or guide on how to install one specifically on a polo 9n3 gti please. I have come across a few threads but none of specifically for the Polo 9n3 gti and cannot see the pictures of the installation. Any help will really appreciated.

Have a look at my thread for installation. I removed the pcv system as mine needed to be replaced.

Re: oil catch can on Polo 9n3 gti
Hi guys. Thank you for the link. I just have one more question. Looking at the pics of the installation, what do I connect to the port on the side of the intake manifold ( the port that goes down to the pcv valve ) Can I and should I just plug that port.

Re: oil catch can on Polo 9n3 gti
Hi guys. So anyone with some info or feedback for me regarding my previous post? Regarding the installation of an oil catch can on polo 9n3 gti. Got some pics of an installation utility what I need to know is what happens and what do I do to the open port on the side of the intake manifold ( the port that goes to the pcv valve under the manifold ) This is the last bit I need to know before I go out and buy everything I need for the installation. Please help.

Remove the circlip holding the plastic bit into the bock. Gently, and I mean gently pull out the plastic bend. They tend to become brittle over time. Remove the rubber hose attached to that. Connect your new hose from your catch can to that and reinstall. The hockey puck valve on the TIP can be blocked off. I have recently done that. You can always connect one side of the catch can to the hockey puck valve as I had done.

Thanks. So if I connect one side of the catch can to the hockey puck as in pics and as you have done then can I block off and plug the port on the intake manifold?
