Hi thank you! To my knowledge this doesn’t fit the golf. However, you should confirm with the company via email/call/or live chat. Compare part numbers and the location or your inlet. I am not sure.

@@MK6CHRIS Thanks for the reply! I thought the EA211 engine is parts interchangeable such as the EA888 MQB engine. I can't seem to find out the answer as ecs tuning has only the option for the golf 1.8 and not 1.4. I guess I'll never found out the answer anytime soon.
