    I've been looking into this recently for my GTI, and I have been in contact with a couple of manufacturer's.

    42DD didn't really want to know about RHD, they couldn't have been any less interested in catering for our market.

    Eurojet and BSH are two manufacturer's who are working with RHD countries to develop a solution.

    Tim from Dub Addiction is now a BSH dealer and he is working with them in finding a spot to mount the catch can for RHD cars, and Eurojet are working with a contact with England to do so.

    So, there are some solutions coming.

    you wanted to know

    reasons for a catch can are in order to redirect gunk and sticky greasy films that originate from the crankcase breather to the intake. the catch-can acts as a tank to collect the gunk and either redirects the the filtered fumes back into the intake or is released into the atmosphere.

    by using a catch can reduces the amount of carbon buildup in the intake manifold throttle body and complete induction of the engine and components. ie healthier engine.

    That was the answer I was hoping to see, NOT because they look good and they need fitting as you just cant be seen without one
