West Mids garage recommendations - On my way to stage 1

Tbh mate you can make it undriveable, If you can't figure it out (which tbh as much as your worrying you should easily do it) you can just put it back to how it was (just take some photos first)

Everyone has to start somewhere and these mods are some of the easiest therefore the best place to start.
My car is my daily and I tackled everything from the front mounted to the turbo change haha
Get it done mate and have fun

Cheers for the advice and I have been thinking that I've got to start somewhere. Think I might have a nose around on the weekend and the photo advice sounds like a good idea!

Do you know where the 007p goes? Possible the easiest mod to do, two jubilee clips and a small pipe, standard one is a small black plastic one ontop of your tip (to the left of your airbox and right of your engine rocker cover. You just loosen the two jubilee clips and remove the top pipe then put the 007p in its place should look like this.....


Apart from the blue pipe will be black

Yer I do know where it is, as I said i've done a lot of research through the net. Think I'm going to go for it at the weekend! i'll let you know how it goes haha

[golfyste]

Im in bromsgrove about 12 miles south of brum mate seems a bit of a mission from tammy. One quick question will I need jubilee clips for the new hoses as will they be a bit thicker?

[topher]

yeah bit far really! its worth getting all new jubilee clips, the original ones are probably rusted up by now. Also your DV is probably still secured by the original one-use vw pinch clips so you'll need a couple of new ones there anyway. To be honest its a pretty straight forward job, the top turbo elbow can be a bit of a squeeze, and you'll have to pull the bumper and o/s headlight off to do the intercooler-throttle body hose. The little one after the pancake pipe is a doddle IF you remember to remove the 10mm nut that secures the pancake pipe to the chassis to give yourself a lot more free play (just remember to put it back on after!)
