Yes and no, this is on the 1998-2005 Passats, which are all out of Warranty, but we have new seals and better wires to fit when this happens

Some of you may have read me talking about this, This is for Passat 1998-2005 all models The problem that happens is the seal around the pollen filter perishes, the water then runs down past the pollen filter, and down the air ducts. This then floods the passenger footwell. The problem...

Nice one Jay, does this have a benefit over Hillpowers version which mounts the filter under the scuttle grille? Just love your car so much

looks nice mate :)

Yup thats the one :( Was such a beast that, had so many good times, started off as a completely standard 16v bar lowering springs, made it into the little monster it ended up as, i really wish i hadnt sold it :(

L23DPF Great grey Valver, had a hill power chip, stainless exhaust and about 170k on her, used to pound the s**t out of it on a daily basis and never put a foot wrong! L765GYW Hybrid Valver, was proper quick (just breathing mods - 1/4 in the 13's) but ended being rolled on Anglesea :(...

How did i miss this lol! Looks good so :D But miss your ph1 so :(

looking good mate!

^^ PMSL!

How is this possible when both engines give the same cc? The cranks do look different but i cannot see how it can make the car any faster? Maybe a weight difference would give the same affect as lighening a flywheel maybe?

Trade insurance £500 a year

to be honest mate the air will be travelling so quick im sure the extra bit of heat wont make much difference :)

Il fit it in mate ;) Drop me a text about this when you can mate

Well il use your car for you :rasp:

Def check it mate, and look on the invoice for this part number: AKD 497 010 04R 10 (How sad am i for remembering part numbers lol) Thats the new correct sealent to replace the seal that causes the leak

Yes mate, thats where it leaks into, makes the passenger carpet wet as the air ducts run under the carpet, by then the damage is usually already done

Make sure you check the lid on the pollen filter housing, the seal fails very regularly, water runs straight in, down the air ducts and sits the convenience control unit in a puddle of water, we do at least one repair per week = bye bye £500-£800 depending on how bad it is

stick with it mate, great airboxes, agood mod is put in right on the end of the t/b :)

Il go in with you Doug, i need to do some sort of competetion!

Shhh, your loaded ;)

Thanks for the help mate :) Cable might have come off the inlet mani, will strip it at the weekend and see

Sold the 182 to a really nice couple, he has reg'd on here too, the ST was a part ex in at work, jumped on it as soon as it came in, 2 owners from new, full history, just had cambelt, full service, clutch and 4 new bridgestones on 1000 miles before i bought it!

jusr searched, your spot on, cheers mate! Will chase the cabe round, if thats not the problem il replace the IMRC

yup i can put my hand on it and feel it. its really loud

My other halfs 52 plate Focus ST170 has just started making a really funny noise, the easiest way i can explain it, is its a slow rotation noise and from inside the car it sounds like a plunger sucking off something over and over :S Iv traced the noise to this box that bolts to the bulkhead...

lol true fella, drop me a text, let me know when your coming back down!

You should have come to the three events after that one Doug, the waiting time between runs was 5 mins max :D

I still cant believe how much of you can be seen in him Jay, congrats :)

Good cars, will do 300k if looked after

During that 14 sec run, i blew the welds on my intake, but it was ok because i had to strip the engine anyway to replace the piston rings i fried :cool:
