APR DQ500 Transmission Catch Can and Breather System for 2018-2023 Audi RS5
$349.95

If you're diving into the world of the DQ500 DSG / S Tronic transmission, you know how crucial it is to keep everything running smoothly. The factory setup has a plastic breather system that’s supposed to handle fluid expansion and gas removal, but let’s be real—it can get overwhelmed pretty quickly. That’s when you start seeing transmission fluid making a mess in your engine bay, which is never a good look.

That’s where the APR DQ500 Transmission Catch Can and Breather System comes into play. This system is designed to tackle those common issues head-on. It’s a compact catch can that’s a breeze to install, and it’s built to last with a larger capacity than what you’d find stock. The catch can is made from CNC-machined billet aluminum and comes with a sleek black anodized finish that proudly displays the APR logo. It’s not just about looks, though; this thing is engineered to work.

One of the standout features is the cotton gauze breather filter. It allows trapped gases to escape without the risk of fluid spraying everywhere. The design is smart, too—fluids enter at an angle, which helps minimize any mess and keeps the filter from getting overloaded. And the best part? There’s a drain-back system that lets the fluid return to the transmission when it’s ready, so you don’t have to worry about emptying the catch can constantly.

With a laser-cut and CNC-bent mounting bracket, installation is straightforward, and the fluorosilicone lined expansion hose adds an extra layer of reliability. This system really helps keep your engine bay clean and functioning as it should. If you’re serious about your ride and want to keep that transmission running strong, this catch can is a solid investment.
