too far  :shocked:

the d/v is normally placed at the back of the engine bay as you can see in the pics.. or they are relocated to the front of the engine.. iv never seen it anywhere else on a golf 1.8t so dont know really where to help you mate..

your best bet some how get sum pics up just take come on ur phone then photobucket them and post them up.. dat way be able see whats goin on..

but if ur cars running fine with no error codes and no serious turbo lag then don't see no problem..


Hi..right i hvae just find out something about my car, something i havent checked sinced i bought it! I was told its a AGU engine, so i just tooked his word for it, and just left it at that, but just by curiousity 2nite i had a look, and i found out it says ARZ on it! Have i read it right, or is that a dif design from the AGU ones altogether? Maybe thats why the d/v is located at the dif place. Plz help as this is worrying me all the time! Also whats the dif between the two? thnx

ARZ is newer than an AGU and has the Ko3 turbocharger. All 1.8T engines have them placed in the position you can see from above

Closer pic of standard position.

Any chance of removing the engine cover and getting another picture closer up?
