VWR Intake disappointing

<< < (17/41) > >>

Dave J:
^^That would be a result if so! Is that some brand damage limitation coming in...? They are catering very much to the MK7R crowd now...

Great work Pudding, that's just such a good few tweeks to the kit. As you say, absolutely should NOT be needed at this price point.
I've been keeping a very close eye on mine for a while now. So a couple of questions if I may;

 - How much did you chop out of the solid intake pipe? Just interested in case I decide to follow this route!

 - When adjusting the grill mounting for the HUGE airfilter box, did you need to modify the bracket in any way?

Cheers for persevering with this... :drinking:

pudding:
Awesome news  :happy2:

The MK5 scene is still huge globally, so they can’t afford the bad publicity.

Dave, I didn’t have to chop any of the pipes  :happy2:   Yeah the air guide for the grille did need some hacking but nothing major.

Are awesome handling the swaps?

Someone from vwr/racingline is trying to replay to this post to let us know what’s going on, but because he’s not been on here for a few years his posts need to be accepted my a mod.

Looking forward to his/her comments but the forum is borderline unusable at the moment!

Hi All,

My name is Matt and I work for RacingLine Perforrmance (VWR, Racingline, Volkswagen Racing, many names over the years!) and Danny has brought this thread to my attention with everyone having issues with the intake.

I personally have this kit on my MK5 Golf GTI and fortunately haven't had any fitting issues, movement or rubbing. However, I do not have a K04 car and this may be what is causing the issue.

After reading through the thread, I can confirm that we have already fixed the DV pipe fitting issue. This is now moulded into the pipe for K04 cars as standard.

For the other bits, if you guys wouldn't mind putting a list together of what you think needs to be changed, we will go to our supplier and have all these changes made. I am happy to replace parts for all that have been involved with this thread so far once we have come to a full solution, I will also throw a bit of merch in there for you guys too for your support so far.

If we could put the list together in here, but email me with your proof of purchase, name and address and forum username then I can keep track of who needs replacements of what.

As I said previously, I appreciate the issues that everyone has had so far and for persevering. We strive for good products and customer service, but unfortunately it seems that you guys have received neither so far and I want to make sure that is rectified!

My email address is m.ellis@racingline.com. I look forward to hearing from you all soon and working towards a solution.

Thanks!
