Haha sounds worse than it really is, nothing major at all, although it is the NHS, anything could happen. Last time I had a knee op, they had to draw a big arrow on my leg, that filled me with confidence just before I went under.

So after trying and failing to find a way to release some V8 induction roar I bought a Ramair cone filter and bodged it straight onto the manifold housing, I knew it was a temporary measure as the vast heat where it was would probably cause heat soak, so managed to get some 90mm silicon hosing and relocated the cone where the original box was and used the original air ducting to feed the cone and just generally tidy the bay up, will probably get some more ducting to feed the cone.
Got the blue piping to go with my coolant and washer fluid caps.

Great to see a proper engine. Very oem+ with the matching hoses. Just needs a 3 digit metro plate @Boabybooster .

Blue was cheaper. Christ you'll be telling me to get black coolant and washer caps next. It's an Audi, probably the most boring looking cars on the planet, maybe a bit of blue piping would brighten up their dour existence.Except you can get black silicone hoses
Here you might as well go full scene and get a set of Metro plates, and hang flowers from the wing mirror

Project v8 induction roar is no more! Well after a good few hundred miles of barrrrrpppp v8 noise, the Maf decided it had had enough so put the airbox all back to standard and ordered a new Bosch MAF. Is a strange one as when the Maf fails it sends error signals to abs and esp knocking them off. Got the Maf fitted tonight after harassing dhl several times today and cleared all the faults with vagcom and now the car is back to normal and running far better.Car is awesome, blue hose is gash looking

It's off now pabs didn't want to risk karking the new Maf, from what I've read online if that was the original Maf I was doing well.

Did you at least get a video of the v8 noise before removing the air filter?

Only just seeing this now, no I didn't but to be fair the exhaust noise would drown it out, when I get a chance as a reward for the car passing it's mot again, I'm going for a bit of adjustment to the stainless system

Will do, trying to get the time to get it done is the main problem. Is your mate still at Dee's?
As far as I know yeah! Might need a wee chat with him myself so give me a text when you have time and I will fire him a message to get you booked in or a quote or whatever!

For the golf ?
Yeah, there is a bit of the exhaust is a messy shape and rattles against the body sometimes and the tips on the exhaust are covered in melted plastic from when I first bought the car and the exhaust fell apart so I have always fancied getting it fixed up properly but I am sure it would be £150+ so I would have to get it made louder too while i'm at it to justify it ;-)

I'm going to try and get down to Dee's on Friday afternoon, bad timing though with the good wife having decided to get joiners,plasterers and painters In over the next few weeks to sort bits in the house. Wish I could just decide to get a V10.
