I put an ADD W1 catch can on the PCV line, the day i brought her home. So far I've only put 490 miles on the car, but i just checked the catch can, and it's bone dry. However i'm still doing the engine break in procedures and haven't had the RPMs above 4000 yet. I'll check again at 1000 miles and see if i collect anything.
I was wondering the same about the one circled on the right in the picture being an OEM air oil separator. I've had VWs in the past and they have had OEM air oil separators that look exactly like the one pictured above. But in doing some research online to figure out what that part would be on the Smartstream 1.6t, I've come up empty. I've tried looking up replacement parts for the engine to see if i could find a parts break down of the valve cover and it's components, but no luck. Maybe it's too new of an engine to have an extensive parts list available online yet.
This is what the VW OEM air oil separator looks like.
