Done it again...how to retro-fit the GTE air intake duct, works on ALL MK7 Golf to let more cold air in, whilst proving protection from road spray intake!

Added another post, this time on how to replace the EVAP pipe on the EA211 1.4lt petrol engines, which makes the engine quieter due to a better design!

Fantastic work dave!!
I've already done most of the mods. Super easy with your guides..

Just wondering if you are planning bigger rear brakes? :):)

Thanks!!

My car comes with 272x10mm discs as standard ..GTi is 300x12mm...& then PP/R is 310x22.....

To be honest, the rears don't do much..its the fronts which get hammered..

anyway I have another two guides I am writing up....;)

I am not after performance with the rear brakes. As you say, the front counts.

Bigger just looks better overall. With 312 front and maybe the 300 rear would look good :)

I have the exact same car as you - even the color. Mine is just a hatchback.
Plus i have a GTI Clubsport that only runs every summer...

Trying to tidy up all the threads so that the formatting/font/layout/pictures are all the same. So far I've got the easy ones done, just got the longer & older ones to do which have various flaws & I've got to redo the pictures to remove the red labelling & replace with the orange labelling! Anyway once its all done that will be it for ever!
