How do all fellow gti joes,
Anyways managed to finally get engine cover off, and at front of engine under the inlet manifold there is a hose that connect directly under the manifold then runs off to the right and down, in a sort of elongated s shape.
Well I think after a full searching I have discovered its either a vacuum pipe or a breather pipe, going with the later. Can find any info on part number so looks like a trip to the scrappy to get the same hose.
Oohhh it's a mk4 gti 1.8t 220bhp 1999.
Now my question can I fit a catchment with a modded hose here or will it go elsewhere, reason I ask is that where the split is there seems to be some oil.
Also now I have only just bought my gti and this is my first turbo car,, it's suppose to have the following:
Blow off valve
Inter cooler
It's got a carbon fibre filter thingy on the right of engine
Drives like a dream but seems very light on the steering
It's running at 127000 miles so is there anything I should be checking, any known faults etc.
Before this I had a golf 1.6se and that was top car except for the sensor into the gearbox kept making car cut out so got rid.
Looking forward to hopefully having this little baby for a few years so would like any help or tips on tlc, and also what additional modding can you recommend.
