Just wanted to reach out to the community on a couple questions.
Used to be a B5 Passat owner and currently have B6 A4 wagon waiting on a swap so I'm fairly familiar with VW.
My mother recently purchased a 2016 used 1.8t Sportwagen. Gone are the days of port injection and in come the days of valve cleaning. Valve cleaning doesn't concern me much since it seems to be as simple as removing the intake manifold and going in from there. However, I am hoping to extend that service interval of having to do so by getting a catch can installed to snag those pcv gasses. Is the effectiveness still dubious? Or have people been pulling out enough oil from the catch can to warrant its success?
Also, from my B5/B6 days, I have a few 2.0T coils left over that I purchased from ECS a while back. They are still in great condition. Do they still provide any benefit to these new Gen 3's?
Thanks!
