1.4tdi

update on progress

fitted the adapter and hose to a 1.4tdi today, sucessful and no physical modifications to parts needed. even without a panel filter its made a change in the driving characteristics. reccomened it to anyone.

i have to say i think the 160 and the green HAS made a difference...but it's put me roughly where i was before, maybe slightly better, cos i changed from 15" rims to whacking great 17"

when the PD160 air intake is fitted, make sure that the hoses to the left of the air intake hose sit clear.
i only notice by chance that there has been a little bit of friction rubbing causing a worn patch on a hose!
acable tie later and all is good!

thats a tad expensive from the dealer IMO

i'd get them to check that when you go to collect

 

[s3tony]

i think its upto £45 now, ive managed to get them to reduce it to £35 which they say is cost price apparantly, its been ordered just have to pick it up when i get a chance....

 

[rashcupra]

£75 some1 at the dealers got a few notes in the back pocket

 

[mattcogg1981]

What shall I do - if that is the price then can I argue it!

 

[Chemical Al]

have a ring round a few dealers and see what others are charging

 

[mattcogg1981]

Just rang dealers in Yeovil and they would charge me £40 quid all in! What the hell is going on? Cannot believe Holders would be so sneaky and add on money. Guy on phone stated that the price above is RRP but the dealers can decide what to charge!!! What a joke!

On my way to Holders to give them a piece of my mind!

 

[mattcogg1981]

All sorted - got both for 40 quid and is now installed!

 

[Chemical Al]

nice 1 mate

Think I might have been the one to start the ball rolling with the £60 + VAT lark. Got a secondhand one anyway - but just shows if you shop around, even the parts can be cheaper!

where is the dustflap exactly is it on the bodywork/grill or on the actual intake

 

[Phil_beeza]

when you have the tube and the tube intake adaptor removed, you can easily see where it is on the FIRST section of the plastic, which is closest to the front of the car

 

[Yella Beeza]

The intake pipe comes in two bits which join together. The widest bit attaches to the adapter, which is screwed on to the front panel.

Undo the two screws, and remove the adapter. Inside the adapter you will see the flap, which half blocks the intake (there to stop water intake supposedly). Remove flap with dremel, Stanley knife, junior hacksaw. etc

You're lucky. Would never get the wife spending that amount on me at Xmas.
