My mk6
« on: 25 October 2021, 10:36 »
Hi all just posted in the new section that I have recently bought my first gti - any advice/help will be much appreciated. So I bought a mk6 - -2009 gti in silver


I’ve noticed that a pipe maybe broken or poss the previous owner had changed it ? As per circled picture what is the name of the pipe (so I can replace it) also I’m arranging for the engine and bay to be cleaned is this good practice ? As not done anything like this before ! Thanks for reading and any advice greatly received

Welcome.
. Thats the air intake ducting From the grill. Theres probably a part number on it.

. Kph to mph. Its uk law to have both displayed on a speedo incase to visit europe. Unlike other cars the golf only has mph in the dial so kph is displayed.
it can be changed but setting have to be changed bu computer using vcds or similar.

Maybe if someone has fitted a cold air intake to theirs.
You maybe better looking on ebay by searching the part number out.
You also seem to be missing the battery cover and engine cover for some reason.

Also I think something is missing from the screen wash pipe as it seems very loose ? What should it be clipped too ?

There should be a curved metal bracket with two bolts attaching it to the body and a single bolt holding the washer bottle to the bracket.
