Hot air feed
« on: 28 December 2006, 11:20 »
When i bought my golf the hot air feed pipe had rusted and there was literally nothing there at all, so i went and bought a new one but that's decidedly cracked in half as well, presumably from the engine lifting up under acceleration or the extremes of the weather. Question is, is there a specific hot air feed pipe that you can get from vw and if so what is it? I got a 1.4 mk3 golf, if anyone may be able to help, i cant find anything about it in the haynes manual.

Is that pipe a solid one? Should really get the flexi pipes you can pick up from Halfords are places like that :)

It was one of those flexi ones, dont matter, i've rang up the stealership and they've ordered me one, i rekon it's a rubber solid one, should be more sturdy, cost me £15 for a bit o rubber!
