Catch can ea288 (2017)

Good afternoon, does anyone know of a catch can kit for this 2.0tdi engine from 2017. Because mine is losing 1L of oil every 1000 km if it exceeds 130km/h but I have already confirmed that if at the end of the trip I open the engine cover Fill the oil and let the smoke escape, you no longer waste oil. But as sometimes it's raining I think it's not a good solution to open the oil cap and wait for the smoke to come out, so I think my solution is the catch can but I can't find a sale for this.

and can I eliminate the membrane and spring for the pressure regulating valve? to always stay straight?

I suppose you could 'catch' the air which comes out of that small pipe - before it goes into your intake - but a correctly functioning breather system shouldn't be letting much through anyway!
You can get new diaphragm's which may help? have seen them get distorted.
Obviously other causes of high oil consumption are expensive! like piston rings or Turbo!

I've already looked for the diaphragm here in stores in Portugal and can't find it for sale. so I thought about installing the catch can in the tube that comes out of the engine and eliminating the diaphragm so that the smoke is always coming out.

my car is using 1 liter of oil every 1000 km, but if I stop the car and open the oil cap and let the smoke out, the car no longer loses oil
