Ecotek Valve

[CraigW]

Ive been looking at these for a while and im considering it cos i want to try n save a little few each week by getting a better fuel consumption.

Has anyone got one/used one and do they actually work??

Thanks in advance.

Just go easy on the go pedal. I have just come back from Ilford, Essex to Surrey in 1 h 20 or so and in my 16v the mfa was showing an average of 44.7 mpg

exactly, just dont drive it like you stole it.
why buy a gti and want to get "a little better fuel economy" i get 40mpg average in my gti, but i dont rag it

good luck

40mpg isn't that bad at all. especially when you consider a gti isn't exactly the kind of car you buy for economic motoring....

You have to cut a hose to fit it, if anyone will post me their hose (in good nic, without an ecotek fitted) i will send them back mine with an ecotek fitted. I dont need mine.

youd make more on ebay mate, they sell still for some good money

yeah but i need a new pipe that has not been cut!?! i dont even know what its called, runs out of the back of the inlet manifold. - any ideas? brake servo hose?? god knows
