The Box....

[cupra-8v]

Right i have a 2.0 8v AGG and i am wondering if anyone knows what the black box ontop of the rocker cover is? it has two pipes coming from it. I think IMO that its some sort of oil breather but im looking for confirmation.

Thanks,

Chris

yh its the breather mate

Thanks bud, top pipe going to the inlet has been bodged by previous owner, a nice gash still in it so could explain a few running problems which i first thought could be the ISV Thanks again mate

the pipe from that box down to engine block is known to corrode easily. im running mine without that pipe cos i need a new one.

does it run any different? the pipe thats gone on mine is the top one going to the inlet

i cant say cos my engine is pretty messed up at minute but still goes like clappers. takes 9.5 secs to 60 at minute

 

[cupra-8v]

Is that a good 0-60 for the 8v? i know its never going to win any prizes for its speed but that sounds about right to me?

meant to be 9.4 so its not bad for 116k on clock. + decat and induction kit. i want it superchipping to 132hp so it will be 0-60 in 8.6 seconds

The black box is a cover, the pipes that go into it only just literally go under the cover as there is a seperate piece under it. The piece going into it is £14.00 as i've replaced mine.

Yes it DOES effect fuel economy and while your at it might be a good idea to clean the lot out

How do you remove the box? Ive undone the screws before but the box was still stuck fast? Do i have to give it a good tug?

 

[vngtx]

stick screwdriver under it till it flies off and hits you in the face. thats how i did it.

 

[cupra-8v]

haha brute force and ignorance works everytime! i love it! Anyone know the pipe name? or number? thinking of just getting it from the scrappy but just incase they havent got an AGG in...

 

[vngtx]

.....usually followed by swearing and throwing the screwdriver into the garage door.

 

[cupra-8v]

Thats the one!

 

[vngtx]

my garage door is now just mesh.

 

[cupra-8v]

if it has 130hp its the same power maybe more than the 1.8 16v which is 8.6 seconds, standard 2.0 8v is 9.4 seconds with 115hp, and the 2.0 16v is 7.6 @ 150hp

 

[beezertart]

ah but none of the 8v's are the 115 book figure,played down by seat when they released the valver so i believe not complaining of course,mine was running like a bag o shite at the time too!
