can someone put this sticky in the leon guide section

great guide m8y thats another thing on my list to do

 

[Nev_LCR]

so did you just go 19mm and pinch the pipes onto the 15mm outlets on the catch tank phill

 

[Phillc]

No i bought another catch tank that had 19mm inlets, when i had the smaller tank i used the reducer joiners 19>16mm when i had the tank it came with some naff 15mm pipe which i cut and fitted over the inlets and the 16mm silicon fitted over it.

This is the next thing i have planned, but due to having a DV relocation kit i think its going to be a pain
Will have to get a tape measure down there for maximum dimensions
May have to try and find some pics of DPJs install for ideas

Just take out the evap charcoal canister thing, it was explained to me how to do this at the National, so as soon as i come back from my holiday i will be taking it out and it will leave alive hole to put something in.

It's a pain if you have the relocation kit, i ended up buying a jabba induction kit so i had somewhere to fit the catch can to, lol.

Sorry to bring up an old thread... but where did the catch can with the 19mm inlets come from?

 

[paul-murphys]

have you checked ebay mate?

 

[wisejason]

yes mate... the biggest is 15mm. I've now read in a few threads that people are either using platic reducers or putting 15mm hose on the connecter and pushing 19mm over the top. 19mm connections seem to be another VAG only size.

Think mines only 16mm outlets, i ended up sleaving them to make them work.

Yeah I've come to that conclusion, it seems to be the most common solution. I've ended up read loads of threads...
