cold air intakes

[danny20vt]

just been looking at the CAI's that locate the air filter down by the bumper for the Leon 1.8t (180), i've just had a quick feel and look and can't see how they can route the pipe work down to this position

has anyone got any photo's (or links to) or explain how they fit

also, i already have a green cone filter, would it be much hard work to make one myself using straight aluminium and silicone bend hoses?

as far as i can tell the alloy tube puts the air filer under the wing and you use flex platic tube to get the cold air feed from the front grills

hope this helps

It will fit! Cause I have one fitted. There's enough room behind that where the horn/foglamp is located.

If you take the battery out thinks become a lot clearer, and to get the CAI in you will have to remove the old air intake around the back of the passenger headlight.

That link is to the fitting guide for the ECS kit i have, there are some pictures that you might find useful.

Yeah i have one fitted and there is a hole thats partly covered by the battery tray (what the battery sits on) and also the old cold air feed, it was very tight getting the pipe down but the hard part was getting under the car to tighten the clip on the cone filter

on a side note i also had to modify the piece of plastic that the old cold air feed ran in to behind headlamp because the new aluminium cold air feed pipe was actually pushing my head lamp out slightly but this could of just been me
