Yer as fixy says. That runs very low down into the arch! AdzR32 has the same in his van because of where the airbox was located on that. He got stuck in a puddle

oh great.! you cant see it from under the only behind the spot light. but it sounds great.

Invaluable - getting one for mine as my filter sits down in the lower arch now too.

Love a 1.8T with plenty of induction noise

i also have a 006p on it getting a nice woshhhhhhhhh now. i'll have a look at getting one to me thinks.

Looks like an 007P to me...

its just a little bit bigger than the 007p.

Wow, I have learnt something. What benefits does a bigger dirverter valve do?

nothing really its just older than the 006p i think.?

where does that blue pipe go that is connected to the black pipe that went to your old air box ?

Good point, where are you now connecting the secondary air system intake?

dunno what the smaller pipe was in to the airbox but it goes into the pipe now connected via that blue pipe onto the under side.

anyone good with leaks my car is filling up with water when it rains big puddle on the drivers side need to sort it as it stinks and the car is misting up inside big time.!! help help help.

Try under the scuttle tray, where the wipers are, these can fill up with leaves and block the drainage holes. Plus with all the rain we've been having the water won't drain, then will enter the car and the result will be what you have. Only a suggestion though.

its coming through the bottom of the door when i open it after rain lots of water comes out.

Drain holes in door blocked, or door seals are not working??????????

erm i dunno i'll have to get the hose on it and have a good look.?

its more than likely that its leaking through the window regualator dude its quite common

any idea how i can sort that. its makes me wanna pee when i'm driving with all that sloshing and splashing when i drive..!!!

not really much u can do mate- just replace the old one ! -
double check tho
remove ur door card and check - it may have rusted through

i'll have a look.
thanks mate.

You can buy whole assemblies with the regulators and inner door seals complete.
The door is designed to let water run down the outside of the window and into the door, these seals stop it running into the car. Stupid idea really. You can use bathroom sealant as an extra seal.
