Hey, I noticed the little reservoir isn’t sitting over the 4th coil. Did you do a N249 delete and if so, did you install a catch can??

Christian Garcia says:

What brand intake do u have?

arvydas dubinskas says:

Great video, thanks. Had some questions for you tho, I see you are running the mk5 coil packs, correct? Also i noticed you had no adapters for them, is their no issue without the adapters? Adapters not really necessary? Did you have a noticeable improvement? Is the wiring harness plug and play or do you need the adapter for the wires? I have a 2000 1.8 with the awd engine. Thanks for your help.

Oil catch can

DonKahones says:

It could be…. Mine if leaking as well I beleive it was caused by a number of factors ( old gasket and overfilling the oil).
