Cold Air Intake
« on: 10 March 2009, 18:16 »
Hey guys,

Does somebody have some pictures or guidelines how to intall a cold air intake

I got a 2001 Golf 1.8 Turbo Highline

bav and i (me mostly standing around) done mine today. we had to take the bumper off and take the battery out and stuff. it was kinda long winded so if your not a very mechanical person i would probably take it to a garage

as said by removing your front bumper and battery/tray this gives you enough room to feed the pipe into the engine bay far easier that way to :wink:

How did you do it gtidan
Or does someone have any pictures so I can see what I need to do.

I'm prety mechanical but I'm woundering if it all fit's, cause I can't take the whole tube
of the filter off. It's got that sensor for how much air will go in and out etc. Dunno how to explain in English.

So any guidelines, how to's or photos would be great!

I did mine by just taking the battery out, althoug taking the bumper off makes things a lot easier i would have thought. Then all battery tray has to come off and one other plastic bracket thats attched near the headlights by rivots - after that it should slot in after a bit of swearing and knuckle scrapping!!!  :evil:

Hope all goes well!!

Did you leave the headlights in?
Did you check my tube?
