Is it definitely the right one? How come VW charge so much more for the same part?Also, being in the state it is currently in, what detrimental effect is it having on perforamce, or anything?MAny thanksMike Link to post Share on other sites
thegoth 5 Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 it's a DIYer. by the looks of yours two jubilee clips and a nasty spring clip. best be prepared to replace the spring clip with a small jubilee as they are never the same one they've been removed.the mk3 part comes complete with the corrugated intake pipe it attaches to.the worst that will happen is that it could allow a small amount of unmetered / unfiltered air in. But is more likely just to leak oily air out. So no more than a bit of a smell. Link to post Share on other sites
