Title: Mk4 TIPs
Post by: GTi_James on 22 March 2014, 22:41

Hey guys, tried fitting the tip and its a complete pain

There's a metal part to the original tip, I take it this comes off and there's a lip where that sits where you push the silicone tip over?

Does anyone have ay pictures?

Cheers

Remove that metal elbow (6mm allen key down by the turbo)

Slide the TIP on and secure with a jubilee clip.  Dont try do it too tight or itll just slide off.

How are you trying to get the tip off? From top or from under? If from top, feel for an allen key bolt as chris has said. 1ce thats out then you will need to wiggle the fecj out of the tip and eventually it will pop off. Oh & yeah good luck with fitting new tip on. Its a cnut!! :grin:

Lol cheers guys, going in from top and bottom. Managed to get a ramp to sort it out but got a bit shy when considering that metal bit. Will have to give it a go once I have the ramps again
