ok i need a new dip stick funnel cos mine has cracked from old age and just want someone to confirm which one i should buy seeing as there are a few listed or are they all the same?

or if someone has a link that would help as well thanks

this is what ive found on ebay
VW NEW Beetle Polo Orange Engine Dipstick Guide Tube Funnel Spout Locator Pipe | eBay

Call up your local VW. They're about $20-25. I've had to replace mine twice when I've accidentally knocked it. They're a hard plastic to begin with, then add the heat of the engine bay constantly and they go super brittle over time.

That's odd cos I got my girl to ask her brother cos he works for vw and said it would be cheaper online :/ I'll ask him again maybe he was just too lazy to check lol thanks mate

That looks like the right one. Mine cracked a while ago and from memory I think it was around $10 at tooleys

I just replaced mine, $18 from VW. PN: 06A103663B

I would buy this one:

Audi A3 S3 TT Quattro Volkswagon Dipstick Guide Tube 06A103663B | eBay

In Sydney already and genuine. Not much more than the UK you posted. Mine from VW was yellow rather than orange just like they say in the eBay listing, hopefully the yellow plastic is longer lasting than the orange.

Make sure you give it a good hard push on until you hear it click once you get it.

thanks guys ordered one online for like $16 so should turn up soon

on another note the mazda is finished ended upgrading the turbo to a gtw and put in a new microtech LT9c and got it tuned low boost 365hp and on 16psi its making 406hp atw





so no more money to be spend on the mazda and might finally go bigger dump pipe on the VW just havent decided yet if ill get one of the milltek ones off the shelf or have one made but might wait till after christmas then go stage 2

love it! I always liked the series 4+ body shape. Must have reminded me of the neighbours brand new 944 turbo that I new i'd never be able to afford. looks tidy.

[LZY13B]

Thanks mate I took it out for a hot lap around my area today got a lot of looks but honestly even with the 400hp+ I enjoy driving the vw more lol speaking of the polo my new dip stick funnel turned up so I'll put that on tomorrow so I can see what the real oil level is at cos mine is thrashed then might start shopping around for a dump pipe

[LZY13B]

So I called around asked the shop that did my revo tune about the dump pipe and told me the price for the millek one no way I'm paying that I can have one made for half of that my mechanic around the corner from my work is a engineer and said he can make me one for a few hundred just not sure if I wanna go hiflow cat.

Will a hiflow cat make a lot more difference I don't plan on going any further than stage 2 tune so is it ok just doing 2.5 or 3" off the turbo to the cat or is it better if I change the cat also I wanna hear the turbo spool more I like noise

Not according to this dude http://www.vwwatercooled.com/forums/...ead.php?t=6729

Yeah I was quite swayed by his arguements. Plautos as well swore that the stock cat had great flow and he incorporated it into his system. I was planning then on just doing a 3'' dump into the stock cat. That had the extra benefit that I wasn't very likely to get a CEL with the stock cat with a dump and phase 1 tune. After it was removed though I made up my mind. Looking (or trying to!) through it versus through a 200 cell was night and day. I think the simple fact that you will generate high flow CEL's with 200 cells versus the stock cat that won't, is proof enough that high flow cats do work better than stock ones.
My 3'' dump and 200 cell that then cones down to the stock 2/1/4 works realy well. I've logged 190g/s with a phase 1 tune and stock intercooler which I think is pretty good. The K03 is all about midrange torque and an agressive ramp up. Enough volume is built into the system before it cones down to standard pipe, that back pressure shouldn't become a major issue until higher in the revs anyway and when you drive these cars you just don't hold sustained high rpm anyway. I don't think I loose anything compared to cars that have a mandrel bent 2/1/2 back section.

you might be interested in this story mate RX9 has landed!

Yeah my fb exploded with the new RX lol thanks for the info mate might see if I can get a cheap hiflow cat spoke to the mechanic and said it would be less than $500 for the dump so I'll start sussing things out

[sambb]

You see a lot of cats placed right up the front quite close to the downpipe section. My guy explained that to get a front section only to work well you need to build maximum volume into it by going no less then 3 inch and also by positioning the cat as far back as practical. That way you extend the 'filling time' of the front section before back pressure starts to ramp up. If you place the cat right up at the start of the system you are just taking the component that is singularly most responsible for causing restriction and moving it into a position that cuts unrestricted 'volume' out of your system and causes backpressure rise to occur sooner. That was the theory anyway. Tradeoff would be that it'll take longer for your cat to heat from an emissions perspective. anyway food for thought.

[Slow_Polo]

Is that $500 including the cat or just the pipe without? If its with that's a good price! I cant find anywhere near me to go that low.

Where is that at?
