Well im trying to replace the K&N filter with the original box and pipework.Problem im having is how to get it into position without taking loads apart. So far i have tried by removing the wheel arch and going from under the car but the 'splash guard' attached to subframne is in the way. I didnt really want to remove the top rad hose as means bleeding the system. Is there and easy way to do this. Thanks John |

i refitted a std airbox at weekendi removed the wheel, pulled the arch liner back to the disc and undid the map sensor but that was it. bit fiddly but nothing hard.. i refitted the bottom box and did the screws up etc, then the top ducting section by feeding it into the gap and rotating it into place, then tightening it up, then doing the TB end ________________________________________ 306 rallye reproduction decals (full sets/individual decals) | 306 b-pillar textured vinyl weatherstrips306 slam panel esso stickers | 306 yellow / orange / pension fund red side door badges gti6 inlet manifold badges | 306 rear boot badges (p2/p3) winner of Extraction of toys from prams with outstanding vigour award 2009 [source: gti6 owners club] |

It senses whether you have a map in the car or sat nav. Set up is removable while car complete so should be fittable other than arch liner and jacked up so you can access from underneath and side.________________________________________ Black X Reg PIII.VGTi 6 A4212 pt 1 A4212 pt 2 Searching the streets of Bristol for 1.36p/day.Joint Kent Leader |

I'm a Rallye owner (stick my nose up) just kididng i bought it from a member a couple of months ago. Don't know of any other members close by. But im sure there are some.Where did you get your parts powder coated as i was thinking of getting some cyclones done. Just for the record as people seem to be enjoying makign lil jokes, im not as dim as i sound people. Im used to the 1.4 engine where there is plenty of room around the engine. So much infact that your could most probably sit in the engine bay and fix it  |
