in this episode we will hopefully sorting some problems out on the TT. We will be tackling the loose under body trims, the headlight level sensor linkage and adaption, the window micro switch so the window drops when you open the door, the rear seats that wouldn't go back but we will look into this a bit more as we get other jobs out of the way and I found another problem with the car which we try and fix.
in this episode we will be replacing the oil pick up pipe (oil strainer)along with changing the oil and filter, this is something I wanted to do before I start driving this car as these can get blocked and result in starving the top end of oil. And I also manged to get hold of a coolant cover for the engine bay as the car didn't come with one. 1x oil sump plug 19mm spanner or socket needed - torque too 30nm 20x sump bolts 10mm socket or 5mm hex needed - torque too 15nm 2x turbo oil return bolts 5mm hex needed - torque too 15nm 3x sump to gearbox bolts 16mm spanner or socket needed - -torque too 45nm parts needed oil pick up pipe sealant sump plug oil filter oil link to where i got my pick up pipe kit https://cloude9customs.com/product/genuine-vag-1-8t-oil-pickup-kit/ oil service kit https://cloude9customs.com/product/vag-1-8t-service-kit/

this is the best way to provide proper vacuum at idle and WOT. some may say "I just run strait off TIP vacuum" but that will only cause lack of vacuum at idle and has in some 1.8t's lead to smoking at idle. and will cause acid to build up in your oil and damage your engine. this is the best...

How much vacuum you get and how much vacuum you need seems less important than having a venturi valve to create the pressure differential to suck out crankcase vapors rather than relying solely on the turbo and pancake valve. How you want to manage the vapors is all you.
I'm also entertained by how much contorting people do to avoid removing the intake manifold to fix their breathers. With the amount of gunk from neglected PCVs, I wondering how much integrity is left in the injector seats and thermostat housing. The gasses a busted breather leaks into your engine bay is hell on those nylon bits. Even if you're not replacing the seats and coolant flanges, it's a $5 gasket and 30 min prep for easy access.
in this episode we will be fitting a budget front mount intercooler from gravity which i got in the sale for £272 lets see how it fits and what problems we have fitting it.

in this episode I will be removing my clutch pedal and getting it strengthened so I no longer have to worry about it snapping while I'm out and about in the future. I suggest you get this done if you haven't already or at least have a strengthened pedal on stand by.
