Part 1 of 6
Vehicle used in this guide
UK spec, 2014yr model, Mk7 Golf Estate (GSW), GT (Highline) trim, 1.4lt TSI (140PS) CHPA petrol engine, MQ250 6speed manual gearbox, multi-link rear suspension.
Vehicles that this guide is applicable to
All VAG (Audi/Seat/Skoda/VW) MQB platform cars with the same EA211 petrol engines
Introduction
This is not a fully detailed “How-to guide”, more a “heads up” on the badly routed wiring loom for the ignition coil packs. Also this thread deals with heat shielding various items which have to be removed “IF” you decided to sort the coil pack wiring out. As I have done the GTE air duct conversion, which blanks off the cold air in to the engine bay, & as I have a full length engine bay under tray as per the GTE, my engine bay now gets slightly hotter than before. Not dangerously hot, as the GTE engine bay gets far hotter due to more electrical items & less free air space, but hot enough to consider taking appropriate remedial action!
