I'm going to have a go at fitting the APR CAI myself as it seems pretty straight forward however I can seem to see how to get the big ring type clip off the stock air box. I mentioned it briefly to the parts guy at VW and he seemed to think that there was a special tool for it? Can anyone confirm?
Thanks
Neil

Can get proper pliers for it of an adjustable pipe wrench works
-
Cheers, I'm kinda hoping if I went down early one Saturday morning they'd whip it off for me. Then I'd fit the new one on the car park.

Why not give our friendly sponsor a nudge?

Might do you a good deal for a nice review? :wink:

I'm sure they'll be along shortly with a suggestion, the APR intake is the cl100012. Frustrating cos the US site it's £175 but won't post it here but the best price I can get over here is £240.

Carbonspeed is indentical so worth looking

Thanks mate, I'm guessing they'll be no coding issues etc?
-
No coding, on the K04 cars you can stick with the stock paper filter in the engine cover, panel filters are a placebo effect in general

If its the spring cicular clip you are on about they are a nightmate to do on your own without the proper tool. The best thing to do is get another helping pair of hands. I sruggled for ages doing my R32, but with a frien no problem! :smiley:

Yeah that's the one, any tips?
-
Get a friendly neighbour or a pal, not your wife! One of you needs to prize it open then hold it open and the second person opens it further and it should come off. Use some swan necks to grip and squeeze it
-
Thanks for that!

How have you got on? Have you sorted it yet?

How have you got on? Have you sorted it yet?
No not yet, just been sent some details of a new one to the market but I think they're suggesting I get rid of my engine cover and I ain't willing to do that.
