un do the clips off the harness.. throw them away.. flip the harness under the fuel rail.

pretty simple.



i want the white bottle myself.

Alright, cool. I may take a look at that one day soon.

Legitimately took me about 4 minutes.

It could be the simplest thing in the world, I just haven't looked yet.

Yea its very simple but it doesnt make much difference on our cars unless you have a short runner intake, the stock intake covers most of the fuel injector area

i think forge has a machined aluminum coolant ball? or something shiny at least lol

[Miller7204]

How would you know when your coolant is low though?

[-vdub-]

it has a little clear window in the side

[_FUBAR_]

just remove completely. thats my plan. moroso filler neck with a dump tube to the ground.

[groundupjetta]

The shiny coolant reservoir sound like a good option. I thought about deleting mine myself but I heard that it does require a higher maintenance since theres no place for the coolant to expand when it gets really hot it will just overflow and leak through the cap ( to the ground like fubar said) so it requires constant looking out and fill ups

IT does make the bay so much cleaner without it though

rofl in all the years ive had my gti ive not even once taken an engine bay shot... ill see if i can find the camera and il snag one for u guys

[vwGLI]

when detailing the engine bay, can you use wd40 on all plastics and tubing? and how do u apply it, like spray it all over the bay and rub it in, or spray on cloth?

[Shameless]

Either or, it's not rocket science.

[Blindsight]

WD40 + Toothbrush for those hard to reach and troublesome areas.

I was thinking it wouldn't, considering the fuel rail is underneath the intake anyway. Oh well, it was a thought.

[Blindsight]

Cleaned the bay up a bit...
