Oil catch cans are vital preventative additions to ensure the performance and efficiency of Direct Injection engines doesn’t deteriorate over time due to unwanted blow-by gases and vapours, which can enter the engine from a CCV port or PCV valve. The Ford Fiesta ST180 features both of these, so we’ve developed kits to cater for each and recommend fitting both for ultimate protection.
AIRTEC Motorsport’s solution to developing a PCV catch can kit specifically for the Fiesta ST180 model utilises the available space at the front of the engine bay to integrate seamlessly. It features a high-quality laser cut bracket, finished in powder-coated satin black, which allows the catch can to attach neatly in place.
The can itself features an internal baffle and dipstick, and detaches to allow easy maintenance. It comes with a comprehensive fitting kit that includes all fixtures and fittings, as well as a detailed installation guide.
Why do I need a Positive Crankcase Ventilation catch can?
The PCV valve is a one-way valve that when open allows blow-by gases and vapour produced by the engine to pass from the crank case and back into the inlet manifold, which is what creates the undesirable carbon build-up inside the engine’s intake system over time. It forms an oily sludge that covers parts of the intake and inlet valves, which reduces air flow and therefore performance and efficiency.
Once the build-up has formed, it’s a costly process to clean, so it makes sense to take preventative measures in order to avoid carbon build-up forming. A catch can also filters harmful contaminants before they can reach the inlet system.
