Had a look under my car today and found that the vent is attached to something behind the standard splitter so don't think this will fit without some modding ....so because I am unsure I am selling it and just going to colour code the standard one. :sad: Really wantd this one.

shouldn't do as the Anni was fitted with the same engine as you  :smiley:

The vent is a air feed for the gear box, I wouldn't have thought not having it would make any difference  :wink:
I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...

No sorry no pics...all I I know by feel is it's all attached to the splitter and once the standard one is taken off there will be no where to attach to new splitter.  :embarassed: So i'm thinking it will be just hanging there behind new splitter.

don't worry about it - unlikely the Anni has it so you won't need it

get it sprayed and fitted :afro:

Dont why its only fitted to the PD 150
Maybe VW thought with all the extra power the gearbox needs some cooling, maybe thats why your flywheels gone so quick  :grin: :wink:

Julia I wouldn't worry about it the annis dont have it so just remove it when the valance is fitted  :smiley:
