Im taking mine off because it knocks against the induction kit too much, Its a good piece of kit but annoys the hell out of me

Thats better
I am sure if there was a problem seat would never sell it

you have the choice lots of knocking or lots of handling!

 

[Smee]

that makes no sence... i think u mean u have to choose lots of handling with the knockin or no handling no knockin

There must be a way to stop that knocking business.....how about mod the bonnet

 

[Smee]

please tell me ur joking... where are we saying its knocks lol

i am on the look out for teh air box lid i might try and sand the top bit down to stop it knocking... then i can have my duster back which is stuck under there at the moment lol

Yeah remove the brace . Think its ok in all models except the cupra as the 3 posted here having the knocking all have cupras

 

[Smee]

i will find the cure.... even if i have to modify the whole intake system lol

Also my forge dump valve started to hit the brace. Pipe lagging works but looks a bit daft red with a bit of grey plastic

My brace has a foam protection around it... could that be why mine doesn't knock...

Mine knocks...and my mum doesn't know about it...she got in the car the other day and said "for a new car it rattles a lot doesn't it!"

Was just thinkin the same, that foam that covers your plumbing........ looks daft but atleast you get the handling without the knocking..........Plus how often do people look under your bonnet??

 

[iancupra]

Ive got some foam around mine aswell, not as bad as it was but any 1st gear acceleration (roundabouts) it gets really bad

 

[Smee]

wat is the part number for the air filter top part

ill order a new one and give it ago but i dont have a parts cd for seat yet

I think smee you right...sanding it might work...but what is its thickness.
Wat you dont want is your lid to start warping!!
Does anyone knows on wat the air box is mounted on?
It will be good if the box can be lowerred.
