evenin all,
could somebody confirm if there should be an O-ring on the connection at the MAF end of the engine cover/intake were the 2 spring clips are please, had the cover off today to fit the catch can and noticed that there was no 0-ring, pretty sure there was one on my GTI and ED30, can't remember if there was one on the S3 and its got knocked off at sometime. Thanx :happy2:
-
There is one on mine, I remember seeing it on the pipe when I moved it in the garage earlier today :smiley:
-
I'm sure there should be one on there otherwise it could suck air in after the MAF has already done its business, don't suppose you could have a quick look for the part number could you :smiley:
whats worrying is where has it gone, I took the turbo inlet pipe off to make sure it hadn't fallen in there :laugh:. The engine cover was designed by satan as a tool of torture :grin: Good excuse to get a full intake system :happy2:
-
Just checking now :happy2:

Ok, I can see it listed as a separate part :confused:
Just to check I thing you mean the o-ring you can see here

how did the catch can fitting go ? any tips or pics ? cheers :happy2:
-
its a pretty straight forward job, no pics sorry. My std PCV had developed a slight leak so changing it can only be good. I fitted the catch can in front of the battery as there is less room on the S3, but it will need relocating if I fit an intake :happy2:
-
I've got a brand new pipe in the garage Gaz if it helps.

I've ordered 1 now thanx Stu, you can't get the o-ring on its own, so its going to cost 20 odd quid just for an o-ring :smiley:, would like to know where the original 1 went though :scared:
