Andy.

I'm loving what I'm seeing thus far. Your use of the dash cubby is ingenious.

You said a "washer filler neck delete".

Explain. I'm curious now.

Started the end of fall/winter (late 2010 early 11) off with getting a daily and parked the gti....now im working on it as I can.



- R8 oil/coolant caps added and washer filler neck delete
- hoods off and at my friends shop getting the notch filled/blend/paint
- picked up a badgeless grille from a local


Picked up the air ride kit from powdub

- Tanks also at my friends shop getting painted RS
- Dash cubby gauge set up
- Worked on my trunk set up for the compressors
- On the way... power kit and another water trap/fittings from bag riders





Sold the rs's (copper) on the 16th to a member on here. They will be missed , time to move on to bigger/better things.

why dont you post this in the air ride forum? you doing an overhaul on the whole car?

"winter build" or sould i say winter build(s) as the full car is getting stuff done not just air ride....body work, wheels, interior (i hope), ect...

i wanted to "clean" up the bay abit but still use the washers...so i took the neck out but left the tank in and capped it off at the top.

yup, will has been soo helpful

Close up shot, please?

I like the idea.

I hate that ugly stem, but need my reservoir for obvious reasons.

ya ill take some later today for you.

you have to:

-move the coolant tank to the side (2 bolts)
-take out bolts/one bracket out (that holds the filler neck)
-take neck out and cap off

[PSU]

That's awesome dude. Thanks.

How hard is it to fill now? Not that it matters because I rarely ever have to refill mine seeing as to how large the reservoir is.

it seems i never have to fill mine up in the gti too but the ford thats a different story ha...


you can re-use the neck but dont push it on all the way or a flex funnel when filling.

The troubles we go through to make our cars look good...

Looking at an old picture of mine:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...ack/R32/jc.jpg

That filler neck is friggin' long.

Did you have to remove the front bumper at all?

[PGJettaFTW]

yup, will has been soo helpful

Will is good people... He helped me out a ****-ton with my build

Everything looks great man... can't wait to see it come spring time

did not remove the bumper.
of cap:

[PSU]

After standing in the freezing cold and looking at the actual reservoir, it's very self-explanatory.

I promise is the last time I'll bug you... but where might one find the cap you used to block it off?

Thanks again Andy.

Can't wait to see what you have in store for us.

[Andy P]

i got it from my work but im sure you can get them from hardware stores:

lowes
home depot
mcmaster-carr(online)

[streetdreams08]

Such a simple thing, but it cleans that bay up a lot.
