Took me 30 seconds of looking at that piccie to realise why it looks so wrong ....






its only 2/3 rds of an engine and someone moved one of the pots ...   :D :D :D :D :D

I didn't realise there was so much "space" in an engine bay .....

 :D :D :D :D :D

 ;D ::) :-[
Now we may mock that he only has 2/3rds of an engine but it looks much easier to work on don't ya think? ;D

...so just left my car with the professionals ...

A big and IMO mistaken assumption Lizzie.

There are a few true professionals on this sie Lizzie. None of them work for Vx and none of them would charge you for a headgasket as a result of a faulty HBV...

It is of sorts.....but still not worth it!

Lol, this thread has made me chuckle.....the clue to the airfilter location is to follow the rather great big snorkles that connect to it  :y :y ;D ;D

Just a note if you undo the clips if it has them watch they do not spring off and vanish down below they can be a bugger to find again  :y
