Air box removal

[smokeydominic]

I need to pop the pipe back on my air box on mk mk 4 1.9 tdi 130 ibiza. trouble is i cant seem to find it, could anyone post a picture guide of removing the air box and then locating the pipe? this would be very helpful. thanks

I presume you mean the air intake pipe coming from the front grill is missing?

Is fo the guide on the Pd160 intake might help you out. Make the question a little bit clearer and I will try and help you further.

ohh sorry i didnt make it clear at all. my rear screenwash puddles out and ive read the threads and found out there is aparently a pipe you need to push back on, but this requires the removal of the air box. i can undo the 2 screws on the airbox so i could change the airfilter if i wanted, but i cant get any further than this :/

U need to remove the 2 screws for the air boxlid. Then one screw holding the air intake pipe, then the box itself is just pushed on 2 rubber peg mounts it will just pull out with a bit of force. Then you should see the water pipe with a white end and the other end will be down there to the right

There's a 6mm bolt (10mm socket) on the corner, below the negative side of the battery, the box removal is 10x easier if you remove this first

What does the bolt atrach to mate ? Never removed it, will try it next time.

It attaches to the battery, think I've got a picture somewhere I'll edit it in

Edit:

There we are, that bolt you can see near the wires, need an extension bar on your socket to get down to it and it's quite long but definitely speeds things up removing it

ahh i had a look today, i was only armed with a phillips screwdriver, got as far as removing the air filter top cover and one screw on intake pipe and then was foxed, reading this i now learn i need a socket set! is there 2 10mm bolts to undo or three? im not sure if the third i found is related.

cheeers guys

As i said before i've never undone any bolts and have done this twice now but its upto you if you want to remove that bit.

You have to remove two bolts on mine

Just had a look at the bolt on the top right of the battery and your right mate mine wasnt sat in the rubber just on top. I got the rubber out but dropped it right down into the undertray so i've just fitted a washer under the bolt to hold the box down rather than move all over.
