MK4 VOLKSWAGEN GOLF GTI 1.8T SAI/N249/PCV/EVAP DELETE/CATCH CAN INSTALL

[@williamfolk3099]

I can't thank you enough for this very well produced instructional video. It was concise and easy to follow. If you can do all that work with one hand you certainly are talented! After removing the cylinder head on my daughters 2001 Golf (Timing Belt failure) and disconnecting endless hoses and electrical connections I was happy to learn I do not have to put all those hoses back to stock. You did a fantastic job showing each and every detail! I had noticed when disassembling our VW that several of those hoses and lines were dry rotted and surly there were leaks! Surprising the car ran as well as it did! Cheers!

[@SPOOLINUP]

You are more than welcome man, im glad it has been helping you along your way. Did the timing belt snap? If so any damage to valves/camshaft etc? Some work is done with one hand but some done off camera, I do have a head mount and chest mount but never use them. Yesterday I was working on the car and was topping up the break fluid when I noticed more hoses looking cracked in that area. I appreciate your breakdown of why you like the video as well so thanks for the nice feedback and good luck with the rest if the job in hand 👍🏽

Best delete tutorial on KZbin hands down 💯💯💯 every other video made it seem incredibly difficult, and made me not want to do it. I'm almost done with it now thanks to you!!

[@SPOOLINUP]

I was exactly the same, it was a job I put off for ages and dreaded it so much. I'm glad the video helped you and made it seem possible for you. I have been told since not to block the EVAP port in the engine bay so I've taken the little red vacuum cap off now. Thanks for the feedback man.

@@SPOOLINUP done it some time ago already and all working, just a little question, in the main guide the evap was blocked while I kept it as u mentioned in the comments open, now my mechanic is saying to put a tube from it to underneath the car as he could smell gasoline in the engine bay and it may catch fire. Also worth pointing out - if someone has a basic airbox, there is a plug for sai hole that is oem from saab 9-3 2004

Finally someone’s done a video I can actually understand, what size was the Caps you used please mate and size pipe I need.

[@SPOOLINUP]

Hey man, all of the sizes of the pipes and hoses should be on the thread that is in the link in the description. As for the caps most if them I used were in an assorted selection bag from Amazon and I ordered some extra ones for the turbo inlet pipe but can't find the order as I checked out as a guest from that particular website. You need a largish cap or two for the TIP and for the bottom of the inlet manifold. Maybe 8mm or 10mm man sorry I am not 100% sure, I had to order them halfway through the job as I didn't have ones big enough. Good luck though with the job 👊🏾

I found the pcv has been deleted, and same with the sai. Also just out of Curiosity what is clear hose for that T’s off of the fuel rail? One of the previous owners did that same thing and is hooked up to a boost gauge. By the way great video, its very detailed and helpful. You’ve earned a sub.

Sorry mate where do you live in the world? I was fast asleep 10 hours ago man so sorry for the late reply

[@SPOOLINUP]

That would be the Combi Valve that I pulled off there and then you block off where that would have gone with a blanking plate. The clear hose that I have coming from my fuel rail is also for a boost gauge so its probably a similar set up. I have now got my boost gauge running off the vacuum line that goes to the top of my diverter valve. I appreciate your sub and comment man! Thanks for the support.

Hi please, when you disconnect in 28:24 one hose from where are you disconnecting? I noticed that in my car the case which has the 3 hoses are loose..

[@SPOOLINUP]

That hose is for the EVAP canister. Sorry I do not totally understand your question. You need to squeeze the button on the bottom of the connector on the hose and then pull it off. They will all seem loose and they will move but that is the type of connection they have there is nothing wrong with it.

[@andreezequiel3186]

@@SPOOLINUP Yes that is the answer if seems loose and is like that is correct. This engine had massive amounts of hoses canisters and PCV VALVES... That will continue on my case . Many many thanks for your help and repays. Kind regards have nice weekend ✌️🏁

Yes are you talking about the hard plastic lines? The shiny ones with the 90° connector that you have to press the button on to release? I have sent a link, if these are the ones that you are talking about then yes they always move up and down and will rotate as well. As long as they click in to place and can't be removed without pressing the tab then they are fine. You are welcome by the way. Blessings from England 🇬🇧

Since you are venting to atmosphere,can you not smell the petrol fumes bud ?

[@SPOOLINUP]

Yeah I know because I was looking for a good one to follow myself, in the end the best thing I found was the online guide in the description. With the EVAP venting to atmosphere you can smell petrol sometimes when stationary or with the heater/air con in use but not all the time. I am not sure what the best alternative for this is and no matter what you do im sure someone out there will tell you whether it is worth doing or not.

[@AMM-md2jr]

@@SPOOLINUP yes thanks! How big are all the hoses in mm? And how long are they?

[@SPOOLINUP]

I cant remember exactly mate but even the link has it all at the beginning exactly what you need. I know the catch can hoses are 19mm. Any vacuum hose required is 4mm and I believe the hose for the brake booster upgrade works out yo be around 13mm but if you check the link its all at the beginning and you can use Google to convert it to metric as its all in inches and feet.

[@SakisTheDrifter]

After almost 2 years of doing these deletes there is a downside i have noticed. That is that with the catch can the crankcase has more pressure in it, causing the engine oil to sweep through the turbo seals to the exhaust, making it smoke on long idle, increasing oil consumption at the proccess. The stock pcv valve helps vacuum all this pressure by opening and letting the intake suck all this up. Its not a problem for me, i dont care if my car smokes after long idle, i do care that the crankcase fumes get filtered and sended clean to the turbo

[@SPOOLINUP]

Since doing the deleted I haven't noticed any increase of smoking during idle. In theory if the catch can vents to atmosphere then as long as the crankcase is at a higher pressure than atmospheric it should be able to disperse the gasses. Do you have the outlet of your catch can going to atmosphere? I've re-routed mine to terminate under the car rather than the TIP.

[@SakisTheDrifter]

@@SPOOLINUP The outlet of the catch can is on the TIP for me. It doesnt smoke immediately on idle. I have to let it idle for at least 1 minute, then the smoke starts and gets worse the more i let it idle. I believe in my situation the smoke problem is much more sensitive because i dont have anything attached on the exhaust. Its just a straight pipe with the only restriction being the turbine itself. The pipe is also 80mm in diameter. So the exhaust has really low pressure, while the crankcase on idle has more so that lets the oil flow from the high pressure to the low pressure. If you are having at least the catalytic converter and 1 muffler on your exhaust, it should be hard to make it smoke so soon

[@SPOOLINUP]

@SakisTheDrifter I understand what you are saying, I don't have any boxes on the exhaust either, but you could maybe try and blank off the TIP where you have connected it to the catch can and let the catch can vent to atmosphere and see if it helps.

[@SakisTheDrifter]

@@SPOOLINUP I connected the stock pcv system a week ago and the smoking effect is greatly reduced. It definately has to do something with crankcase pressure. Your suggestion passed throu my mind a while ago and i believe that indeed it would help a little, but i dont want to do it,because i want some oily air to get into the intake of the turbine and the top of the piston to lubricate them aswell. I ordered the catch can you have on your video, because yours have wider fittings while mine has smaller, witch made a restriction and helping the problem i have

[@SPOOLINUP]

@SakisTheDrifter Oh I see, so then in that case you have proven there is a difference. That sounds like a good idea using larger diameter hoses and fitting along with a larger port catch can. You can try and route it to atmosphere. The oily air that you speak of for the top of the piston probably gets burnt pretty fast so might not actually help.

[@Djiel]

the 90 degree elbow of the pcv system that you took off at 21:04, does this simply pull off once the U shaped locking spring thingy is removed? I'm having a hard time removing it :(

[@SPOOLINUP]

Yes brother that just has an O-ring holding it in place, give it a wiggle back and fourth while you pull it and see if it comes free. Do you have a spare one in case you break it because it may be brittle?

[@Djiel]

@@SPOOLINUP You were correct, a good wiggle and it came off. The piece is absolutely gunked up.. yuck. Small piece of it broke off in the connecting T piece, otherwise it came out fine. The hose connected to the pcv valve had 3 massive holes in it.. glad I'm replacing the whole thing. The piece that broke for you, is made out of metal on the APP engine (slight difference in design), so I can clean that up and re-use it. Not sure why they went with plastic on the later engines, cheap bastards 😂

[@SPOOLINUP]

There you go man im glad you did it, some of these things just need a little persuasion. All of my PCV bits were gunked up and nasty too mate, I didnt find any holes but good thing you found the ones that you had there. I have never understood why they went with plastic bits in certain places, maybe manufacturing costs or something 🤣

[@SPOOLINUP]

Hey man, nice one for coming along and subbing and im glad you appreciate the video. The reason I made the video is because there weren't many good ones and I needed to do it so just did it. I havent noticed much to be honest, only a catch can full of disgusting liquid but other than that I have seen no change in anything. I never really monitor fuel usage because my use of the car varies so much its difficult! Hope you get along well with doing the job man good luck to you 👍🏽

[@harveydudbridge4920]

Hi mate, been watching you're vids, big help, appreciate that. Just ordering stuff for deletes... Do you think 1m of each diameter hose will be enough? and what size blanking caps did you use?

[@harveydudbridge4920]

Also why'd you replace the coolant neck?

[@SPOOLINUP]

Hi mate, im glad the videos have been helping you and thanks for watching! I apologise for the late reply. The hoses for the catch can need to be a little longer than a meter. If you look in the description there is a link to a guide which tells you pretty much all you need. As for the vacuum caps I bought an assorted package from ebay or amazon and then realised I needed some larger ones so ordered them but I am not 100% sure of the sizes mate im sorry. I can imagine some were 4mm, 6mm, 8mm and 10mm but not 100% sure as I have even replaces some since. The coolant neck was replaced along with the PCV 90° because it may as well be done while you are working in that area to keep it fresh and new as they may break in the future. Sorry I can't be of much more help .

[@salvisfun3577]

What did you delete? Can you explain the cons of deleting all that stuff ? And do I loose my AC ?

[@SPOOLINUP]

Hi, the systems that were deleted basically mostly are there to control vehicle emissions. The cons of deleting them is that you end up with a tidier engine bay and you future proof your engine ridding it of potential vacuum leaks. Your AC stays!!

[@Just_James_79]

@@SPOOLINUP With standard wheels and 205/55/16s I've just done 20mm spacers on the rear and 5mm on the front. I've gone 5mm on the front for now because they were free from a friend who removed from his VX220 and it meant I could still use my original bolts and lockers (anything over 5mm you need longer bolts), 20mm on rear makes a huge difference and helps fill the arches. Could have maybe gone 25mm on rear but coilovers not installed yet and although tread well within the arch, the trye wall bulges out guite a bit on 55 profile so played it safe for now to avoid any rubbing.

@@Just_James_79 I'm thinking of kind of doing a winter and summer wheels setup and will buy some other larger spacers for the standard wheels with some larger bolts. Nice wheel fitment can set a car off really well.

@@SPOOLINUP Yep, the fronts have never bothered me (as stock they actually sit 5mm per side wider than rear) but I absolutely hated how far in the rears sat in those arches! I got the Mtec 20mm spacers for rear from ebay for £40 including bolts (make sure you get radius bolts if using original alloys) and it's without doubt the best £40 you can spend on the car!

[@SPOOLINUP]

my Pcv delete is catch can to atmospheric, and blocked TIP port . I think yours is better.

Hey man, yes codes came up after doing these deletes but I cant remember off the top of my head what they were. I have had the software deletes done from my ECU so that the car no longer throws the faults up. The only thing I have changed is I took the vacuum cap off the EVAP in the engine bay and it now just vents to atmosphere to prevent a build up of fuel vapour in the tank.

Hey, thanks man im glad you enjoyed the video because it took some hard work getting it all done and filmed. Im sure that its deleting the SAI that causes the EML to come on and it needs to be coded/mapped to delete it. Was the SAI deleted or disconnected by someone before you bought it? There is so much junk in the engine bay before the deletes its good to get them done. Again you are welcome and im happy the video helped you.

[@shaunwake9200]

yes mate was already deleted when i bought it. iv been aware there are other deletes to do but never really found a vid that shows and explains the process. just want less in there so its easy to keep clean.. iv just swapped out the coolant pipes for silicone and done the aluminium connectors what a difference thats made. where did you get you 90 elbows from and the rest of the supplies at that?

[@SPOOLINUP]

Sweet man, thats good that has been done already and mapped out then you are ahead of the game. I need to swap out some coolant bits to be honest but will look into that in the future. I wish I did the deletes first because it frees up so much room to do other mods. The 90° elbows just found them on a Google search and the same with the vacuum caps, if you know what sizes you need it helps, all of the sizes should be on the guide in the description.

[@SPOOLINUP]

Hey man, I would suggest first of all checking all of the vacuum caps you have used and any new vacuum lines installed. Also check the blanking plate on the side of the engine to make sure that is all nice and tight. Just go back over your work and see if you can spot a problem. I had vacuum leaks under my inlet manifold because the caps I used were slightly too big. Dont block off the EVAP either, in the guide I used it says to block it but take the cap off that and let it vent to atmosphere.

Hey man, yeah there are some issues after doing the deletes to be honest. The EML came on as expected and the car has idling problems. The car doesn't always idle well, sometimes it bounces a bit but it doesn't happen all the time. Also I have noticed that the car doesn't have problems when it is left to warm up at idle for 5 minutes or so, when you drive it when its cold it has problems. Under acceleration its fine. I was assured after doing these deletes that the issues could be resolved with a map to delete the systems the ECU is searching for that are no longer in the engine bay. I hope this helps you somehow. I will be having my car mapped soon for the deletes as I dont drive it as my main car so I havent been using it. I hope this helps you and I appreciate your feedback.

Thanks a lot mate, appreciate your love for the videos. Working on the car on the floor is a total nightmare sometimes but I just take my time.

[@Just_James_79]

Did mine today, absolute pig of a job! Clutch was much quicker and easier than TIP! It definitely needs some cutting off it (quite a bit) to fit on to turbo and gear linkage cables removing as well as the bracket for hard water pipe. Once it was on properly it took a mate with a pry bar to get the bracket for gear cables back in place while I got the bolts in. Seriously tight! Just wondering if you've not chopped it and got the gear cables out of the way it might be sitting at an angle and not 'square' to the turbo which is causing them to slip off?

[@SPOOLINUP]

Basically I cut the first TIP that I fitted and when I was going up the jubilee on the turbo spigot the jubilee kept slipping off. I thought it was doing this because I had cut too much and the jubilee was sitting on the tapered part of the TIP but I was wrong because a brand new uncut TIP did the same thing. I too tried to remove the gearbox cables and put them on after but was impossible by myself so just soaked it in hot water to soften the silicone and and some lube, was a hard one but nice to be done.

The catch can collects a load of vapour and oil that would otherwise go into the intake of the car and get burnt. Its not a lot at all but over weeks it collects in the catch can. There is no performance gain from deleting the EVAP but its connected to some of the other parts you deleted from the engine bay, clears up some clutter and is one less thing to go wrong. Hope this helps

[@WalesPrideCymru]

What are the benefits from Doing all the deletes can someone explain please 2001 1.8t mk4 gti look g for any advice on this

[@SPOOLINUP]

Removing vacuum hoses from the engine bay will lessen the likelihood of future vacuum leaks as these 1.8t engines suffer from them. It also de-clutters the engine bay massively, the combi valve, vacuum hoses, SAI etc take up a lot of room. So you are future-proofing your engine. By removing parts and hoses that could fail you are making it more reliable. I realised when I did the deletes that it freed up a lot of room in areas that would have helped me when I was doing my TIP and other mods so I would have done the deletes first if I knew this. Vacuum leaks can be hard to find, once the deletes are done you can the software deleted from the ECU so you get no engine management light and then its like they were never there. Read the thread in the description and Google it because im sure there are more benefits too.

Stock ko3 15 pis boost is max with a tune but it still runs out of puff in high rev range. Putting pod filters and pulling pcv vaules and evap out will not do nothing. Pull it all out get a good computer plug it in and look at your fuel trims. The ecm are slow as shit in 1.8t vws and cant adjust values quick anoth ether 1 minite its running lean the next rich tps starts to hunts back and forth. Then starts throwing throttle body vaule and tps codes the list goes on. Stroke it big turbo better engine mounts and mod the pasanger side engine mounting points on the engine block as its prone for snapping with high hp big turbo custom tune injectors fuel pump ect and standard copper spark plugs heat range 7 ngk platnum blow out at hi boost.

Its just a bit of fun for me along with many other people and the reason why we choose the 1.8t is because its cheap to mod. Thanks for all your info mate 👍🏽

@@kurtlazarus1702 Deleting the N249 doesn't increase hp but can help with performance as it has control over the diverter valve, the delete is recommended for stage 2 map. The deletes are worth doing to minimise chance of getting vacuum leaks which are very common on these old engines. You can get an AUM with the K03s to stage 2 for little money and they will make around 230hp. That's an 80hp increase from stock for some fairly simple mods and enough for me on a 19 year old FWD hatchback. Why do you think deleting the evap would effect fuel consumption?

The reason I did mine was to futureproof the engine from the common vacuum leaks, to de-clutter the engine bay and of course ive heard it is a good move to make when tuning a 1.8t. I always wanted a cool turbo charged car that I can have fun with that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. To many people I am sure the 1.8t cars have offered thrills for little or no money. Well said @Not Applicable
