Hoses are on.

[Monkey Boy]

Took about 2 hours to fit but went on ok.

Also got my gauges in but oil pressure still to be wired up.

Finnaly got my plates transfered as well.

Got to clean the engine bay when the rain stops and put the engine covers back on.

[Manguish]

Why all the guages at 45o?

[Monkey Boy]

The pod uses the u clips for the gauges to hold it in but they are at 45o on the back of the gauges. You can see them better as well and they are different.

those look great how much were they and where did you get them?

does your engine bay really need cleaning:D how do you keep it looking so clean?

also do your bonnet lifters work properly(lift the bonnet without assistance)as i have supersport ones and i have to lift the bonnet myself but once up it stays:confused:

Is that an Astra "Turbo" badge?

Is that an Astra "Turbo" badge?

:eek:

It certainly looks like one.

[Steve vRS]

Was it easy to move the stereo down so the gauges go above?

[Monkey Boy]

Yes it is a Astra turbo badge. Mate works in a local Vauxhall dealers service department.

Boost hoses were from Awesome GTI for Golf Mk4 1.8T

Standard DIN slot isn't it?

Shouldn't be a major job by any means.

[fab16v]

Looks good. Like all the blue and bling!

[Drill]

Hey Monkey Boy, looks great

2 questions though, what engine code is your VRS? And for which engine code is the Samco set?

Thx :cheers:

[Monkey Boy]

Engine Code is AUQ but parts are for Golf did not say engine code on them.

[Witchfinder]

Looks great, but I can't say I approve of de-badging a Skoda to replace with Vauxhall badges! Does your mate's Vauxhall dealer sell Monaros?

[Drill]

Engine Code is AUQ but parts are for Golf did not say engine code on them.

Thx Dude By any chance do you remember the part number you used to order it from Awesome??

Thx again :cheers:

[Monkey Boy]

I called them up to see what would fit.

Those hoses would look particularly nice in my car's engine bay. :agree:

I'm (reluctantly) forced to agree

Do it Denis !!

[wilsonan]

Finnaly got my plates transfered as well.

We're kindred spirits now you with K17 VRS and my K15 VRS - car's certainly looking good!

[nat]

is there any noticeable gain in fitting these hoses other than cosmetically?

cheers nat

[Nigel26]

IIRC Samco hoses are supposed to hold shape better than standard hoses when under higher boost and water pressure conditions.

Other than that they hold no gains other than looking the dogs danglies.

Paul - If you read this soon'ish can you have a chat with your mate about tinting the windows on mine... think i'm going for the same as your side windows all round. 30% wasnt it !?

the cars looking superb, but theres no change there... all your cars do / did !

Cheers matey
