make sure you are nice and calm when you start mate as you won't be when you finish! Three words, metal water pipe
Enjoy!

boy am I glad the derv TIP is considered to be pretty good in the first place and not worth upgrading :laugh: :laugh:
-
wazzer is that the magic metal pipe that hides the hex screw! :evil:
-
that's the puppy, you WANT to bend it out the way but you know you shouldn't :grin:
-
:laugh: i have read about that hex screw had a quick look earlier from the top down :cry: how the fcuk do you acess it from underneath :laugh: wes i like your comment :grin: am not the most patient person in the world :lipsrsealed:

just take your time with it, don't get excited like i do and think it'll slide in easily... it won't lol
airbox out so you can just about get a long extension wobbly socket to the allen bolt holding the water pipe bracket. you can unclip the other hose and pop the clips out of the holder for a bit more room.
sometimes though.. the damn hose just refuses to go over the turbo flange :grin: you get paranoid and check to see if you have the right TIP

cheers chris :afro: although i was reluctant to remove the airbox as i have siliconed sealed the dsg intake pipe :rolleyes: unless i unbolt the 10mm nut and carefully remove the base and intake in one assembly :laugh: i best get the samaritans number to hand then :grin: :grin:
will let you know how it goes m8

:cry: i'l tackle from underneath then :cry:
-
i cut mine to size cuz i got so f**ked of with it lol
-
word of advice, use some fairy liquid to lubricate the tip so it can slide thru the tight spots :wink:
-
word of advice pay some daft sod to do it, its just an all round hard job, probably be a fair bit easier if you can get it on a ramp or over a pit
-
If you dont mind getting your hand dirty, and a few scuffs and scratches then do it.
Took me about 3 hours all in all.
and your right ivor, i had to double check to make sure i had the right one lol
