After diving in under the hood, I've suddenly started to care about how dirty it is. Been doing some research on proper ways to clean the engine bay, seems like a spray bottle degreaser/simple green with a wipe-down and low pressure wash is normal. Just bag the alternator and battery. Also...

So far so good 🙏 Need a few more drives to be sure to see if this solves my hot-start issue.

Changed out the old hpfp for the OEM one from @swcrow. Wasn't expecting the hard line to be such a pain in the ass. Video I watched from Charles/Shopdap must have been a 2.0T variant; hard line was much more free for movement in the video.

Spoiler alert; I'm not much of a mechanic, but I changed out the fuel pump yesterday. Took longer than it should have. Made the mistake of watching a video and not visually inspecting my own engine bay before I started.. 2.0T video I used must have been a variant, as hard line to the pump was a...

Much appreciated, genuinely not trying to be rude.. just obviously unaware of the logistics behind it.

Thanks for this; Also; I would think a full TBE would be big with more parts to ship compared to just some tips with a Y-pipe. Is it because you would prefer to have the muffler on-hand to fit it all up for ABE? I just might not be understanding

This was timely, "for all of you in the comments, don't ask me to do this." :ROFLMAO: Pretty much sums up my question from last week. Also, any idea what diffuser he used?

Small thing; adding all the part numbers is a game changer for lurkers like me reading through the journals. gg

cheers, no rush.

When it starts to do this on a daily, it's a tough one to swallow. I've been putting pennies away into a small fund to have everything replaced out of pocket if it gets that far. Kind of a sad reality..

I agree, I didn't really want to go down that route. I think realistically, hacking up the clubsport just to get 4 functional tips would be an absolute mission. Wouldn't be worth the cost. Splitting the tubing in-line would probably be the more economical compromise. Agreed, nothing premade...

Thanks for the response, the pictures helped a lot too. As someone else mentioned, it's probably easier to do as you've pictured; have it split off each pipe and not a true functional dual tip. Regardless, definitely more fabrication involved than I figured. I will probably enjoy the CS exhaust...

Let's go, I remember looking through your old pictures of the corrosion. Glad they covered it.

Jake, hear me out; I have a dual-tip diffuser (ebay special) that fits up to the OEM GTI bumper, and plan on buying a dirt cheap golf R exhaust for the suitcase/tips. I also have a clubsport exhaust on the way. Is it heresy to chop the clubsport tips off and weld up the duals just for the R OEM...

So what are these, OEM golf R? Looks awesome.
