Hopefully you put the heat shield on, otherwise its actually hotter then the stock airbox

[@SavageGTI]

I did fairly recently. I didn't have a 24mm 12 point socket at the time. I only had 6 point sockets

6:18 was the updated shot with heat shield

[@SavageGTI]

@@fullymayhemfm7622 Yeah I don't plan on getting rid of it

@@SavageGTI hey bud you seem like you're pretty damn good with a GTI just bought an 06 and I'm driving it home and check engine light came on hooked up my obdeleven and the code is p2181.. which I know is either thermostat or coolant temperature sensor what do you think.. basically what's happening is the car is too cold to temperature gauge is staying about quarter tank Wise on the gauge which isn't even halfway.. I know cars run at regular temperature the gauge is at halfway someone told me I'm actually running to call which I think is a bad thing to ain't it

That water distribution pipe is prone to breaking especially at the age of those cars

[@SavageGTI]

Yeah doesn't help when your hand slips and you punch it

How did you fix the nipple to the main distribution t to the coolant because it just happen to me

[@SavageGTI]

I just bought a new distribution t online and replaced it. there's only 3 hose fittings plus the nipple on the top which is the line connected to the coolant reservoir.

[@Chuyfresh-jg5vh]

Savage GTI oh ok thanks

[@SavageGTI]

I don't recommend running the car but if you absolutely have to... seal off the hole with a self tapper with Teflon tape that will hold the pressure with no leaks. coolant will drain out the line where the nipple was thus depleting your coolant reservoir. you can jerry rig something to catch the flowing hot coolant but about 10min of running your car will beep and say coolant level low. Not a bad idea to get some distilled water to top off any lost coolant. VW wants a 50/50 mix of their g13 (or whatever is specified for your car) coolant and distilled water. Not a bad fix just inconvenient.

Savage GTI Ok got it thanks. What’s the name of the part you got for it?

[@SavageGTI]

@@Chuyfresh-jg5vh Coolant Distribution Pipe. this is where I got mine. as long as you have the FSI engine this will work. www.ecstuning.com/b-hudson-parts/coolant-distribution-pipe/1k0121087h~hud/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI2-HkjcfU5QIVDV8NCh3YRQF_EAQYAyABEgJWz_D_BwE

[@mtbwithsoup9779]

why did u get rid of the APR intake??

[@SavageGTI]

I like the look of engine bay better being able to see the valve cover, plus any top of the engine mods or repairs requires the removal of the cover so now step 1 is done. No engine cover makes oil refills easier. I popped off the engine cover so many times to fix certain things I never really had it click back on tight. And with an intake that's more straight through you can hear the turbo flutter better.
