Help!! Where can I get 6n2 hoses/pipes engine dress?

Post by EVERLONG79 »

Hi, all. New to site here, got myself a 6n2 1.4 16v.
So far, replaced the exhaust (cat back), HT leads, ABS unit, stereo, swapped the standard steelies (they were rusted to hell) for WR 15's, got a de-badged GTi style honeycomb grille, some lowering springs (still to fit), and got rid of the airbox for a decent cone.

I'd like to dress the engine bay, but wouldn't know where to look (the bay and google are endlessly unhelpful) especially for a breather pipe, which was rotten when I disconnected the airbox. I've trimmed it back but it'll need replacing. Any help on where to get hoses that actually fit (most motorsport sites don't cover 6n2, and yes, I've been on Samco, Demon Tweeks etc) would be greatly appreciated.

I'm at a loss!

Your local VW dealer is the best solution for the breather pipe - if your putting it back onto the airbox that is

Otherwise, a length of reinforced rubber hose from eBay thats the correct internal diameter with at least a 2mm thick wall will be fine. Ive done that before, and it worked fine

Thanks! Got one from VW, which is now connected to a new cone filter :)
Sounds much better, and actually pulls a little better without that restrictive airbox.

Coilovers arrived in the mail too.. Might be time for some pics once I get them fitted!!
