Title: Plenum Chamber
Post by: TobyB on 09 December 2010, 01:10

Was advised last service that I will need Plenum chamber cleaned, how important is this and what is the likely cost? Golf Gti MKV 2007 with 21k

Er... why would need the plenum chamber cleaned? That's what the air filter is for... :huh:

Are you sure, the garage/dealer is not trying to have you on?

thanks, sounds like something that should be done when it gets a full service next week, if they claim its extra i'll do it myself.

The plenum chamber shouldn't have anything in it.

The air box is a different matter, however, it is just a case of removing the bottom part of the airbox and cleaning that out.
