Title: Airbox questions :-s
Post by: Povey on 27 October 2011, 18:56

Hi this is my first post to go easy on me lol

Iv just brought a 1.8 8v mk3 golf more doors it's a cracking little car,
On top of the carb there's a cap that a few pipes and tubes joining then a main pipe leading to the airbox, does that make sence?

My question is hat do all the other tubes do Exactually? I know one goes is a breather for the rocker cover, but what do the other few do?

Trouble is I want to take the whole airbox and stuff off and replace it with my own carbon creation :-)

you will find it is best to keep the standard airbox.

Look up in the info/maintanace section mate all you ever wanted to know up there!

Oh and basically the small hoses are vacuum hoses.
