LOL - fair answer, i asked for that!! The old one is a straight pipe, but TPS and VW are telling me that it should be the part as above. I took my part back to TPS swindon and got shouted at for an hour about how they cant give refunds just because i changed my mind etc. I told them that it was the wrong part, but they were adamant that this was the right part...... Refund finally sorted. Lesson learnt - never goto TPS.

Thanks Mk2 - Please can i ask a question about this pipe - My car has a single pipe with one connector at the brake servo end and one connector at the inlet manifold end and some sort of valve in between. I think that it is like this - but this is for LHD cars: I have just bought a replacement pipe from TPS at massive cost £130 and it has a Y piece in it and three openings. TPS Swindon have been very rude to me and are telling me that this is the right part and no return. What should the right part look like please?

A new issue which i need your help with please..... The car is a 1.4 16v 2002. I have been told and shown that the vacuum pipe is cracked and when the car is switched off a loud hissing sound can be heard from this pipe. I was told that this could not be bought from anywhere other than the main dealers, so i contacted TPS and bought one for an eye watering £130. Went to fit it today and its wrong. My pipe goes from the Brake Servo to the inlet manifold as a single piece. The replacement pipe has an extra pipe that looks like it goes to the air box. I dont have this. Can anyone

Thanks freinds - all sorted, it was exactly what you guys said. The connector pops off - i reconnected it and secured with a cable tie. Sorted!

Looks like this might be half of the issue: Any ideas on where the water exiting from the middle of the car on passenger side might be from?

Yet another problem..... So the boot open warning light came on the dash and just doesnt disapear - i beleive that I have worked out why and can correct this with some swithc cleaner and some time. However, we also noticed that the car has rear wash wipe. We gave this a go and the wiper moves, but no water comes out. On closer insepction, water runs out of the sill on the passenger side of the car! A tiny amount of water comes out of the nozzle and after taking the plastic inner panel off the car, we noted that the water also comes out of the back of the motor. Any ideas what is goin

I want to replace the cam belt and water pump as the car has no history of these being replaced. Can anyone point me in the direction of any tutorials that show how to do this or any instructions please....

So today we got ready to fit a set of pop out rear windows to the car. I thought it best that we check and then double check prior to fitting. It was only then we noticed that the pop out windows i bought from Facebook are not tinted and the other glass on the car is 0.2 tinted. Does anyone have a set of pop out windows tinted in 0.2 please?

After testing all our skills in sanding, filling, painting and laquering a black indicator panel and then building broken the support brackets from plastic, glue and nuts/bolts this morning we have: Its still not 100%, but once the local breakers yeard opens up, i will find the parts i need. It does look better though! All credit to my daughter who has learnt the fine art of painting and sanding....

Thanks @mk2 will give them a go as soon as lockdown ends. My daughther and I gave the indicator panel a go yesterday or the day before (lockdown days all look the same!). The damage can be seen on the right hand side.....

Thanks @mk2 and @Rich. @mk2 - You dont seem far away - do you by any chance have any spare clips?

Another update - we are on a roll. The indicator panel was damaged on the passenger side. You can see the damage in this photo: We removed the panel and pulled the front bumper away slightly to help. We are missing one of the locating pins that connect the panel to the wing. Any idea where i can get one of these? I also was gutted to see that the tabs on the bottom of the new panel we have sprayed to match the car are broken, so it sits all wrong. Any help much appreciated.

I forgot to ask a question - when the blower is on speed 2,3 and 4 there is a rattling of debris, leaves etc coming from the screen vents and the interior centre vent. What is the best way to clear this out?

A MASSIVE thanks to @Rich for sending through the housing for the cabin pollen filter. My daughter was very excited to fit this to her base spec 1.4 16v SE. "Thank you sir". We got this done in 30 mins (we prefer slow and steady) in between torrential rain showers, high gusts of wind etc. Some pictures for you.... The nasty area a pollen filter should be. I cant believe that a pollen filter was an option? Almost like saying a windscreen is an option...... 17 year old daughter learning her way around the car. The horrible old unit out and the

That looks really nice. Ours must be the basic of basic SE spec cars as it has manual windows, no a/c and no pollen filter.....
