Hi all, after some advice please? I've been reading various threads on here and I've noticed a lot of people have removed the SAI, would basically like to know what is involved with doing this and what are the benefits? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I have a AGU if that makes any difference.
-
Mine was already removed when I got my car so cant say about any bonus really
I have read while browsing people say less pipes so less chances of leaks so probably worth doing imo
-
Any ideas where I will find it as I'm unsure as to whether its been done on mine or not.
-
I believe its at the front end of engine above where the oil filter is. If yours has been deleted the there be quite a bit of space there. Also mines an AUM so not sure how different an AGU is mate
-
Any ideas what it looks like? I can't find any pictures or even any information on what it does.

It looks like this, (Taken from a picture Rio-Gti posted in the "For sale section")

Mine used to make a massive ammount of noise on startup but I took mine off and repaired it :)
All i know, it apprantly is used for the 1st 90 sec or so when you start your engine. it pumps extra air into the engine for cold starts, (Ment to help with the running of the engine when its cold) then it turns off when its job is complelte I have also been told that it has something to do with emissions? :huh:
But I have never hered about deleting it or the benifits from doing so.
-
Cheers for your help much appreciated, I think mine has already had it done as I can't recall seeing it last time I was working on my car. Cheers again guys.

I don't think an agu has this to start with :wink:
-
It warms the cat when cold is all, pointless if you have a sports cat or de cat and it's deceivingly heavy for something you don't need, when one of the pipes on it split, get rid if not keep it on
Pipes are rediculously priced from vw

nino you thief :grin:

It can make a difference but if it is not noisy I would leave it be.
-
I'm pretty sure agu's dont have this otherwise I would have pulled mine of by now too!
-
I think it's best to have one, so as you don't have one as standard buy mine and bolt it on :grin:
I removed it as I don't have a cat to Pre-warm
-
Do u need to buy anything to get rid of it like a plate or anything guys as thinking of doing this on mine :)
-
Yeah a resistor and a plate
Blank eBay no. 271155398948
Resistor eBay no. 400345843889
You will also need to blank the hole in the air box (I still need to do this!!)
-
Hmmm you got me thinkjng about removing it now....... Lol
-
Rio i'm shocked you havent read my tip how to blank the air box :shocked: lol
Use a milk bottle top, fitted perfect on mine. The guy before me had mutilated it in tape so took tape off and my mate tried the milk bottle top and hey presto!
