Dixxy 0 Posted April 28, 2005 Just in the process of fitting an BMC CDA air filter as recommended by most forum members. Only problem is not really sure where to take the cold air from. I have had one idea but i need some help. Under the air box just behind the headlight their is a some kind of cylinder object sat through a hole. it has two tubes feeding it from the top one clear the other black.... With this removed there is a perfect hole for a cold air intake... My question(s) is this... what is this? can it be moved? can it be place on its side rather than verticle? what have others done with the BMC CDA?

DanA 0 Posted April 28, 2005 That's the Carbon Canister - If you do a search you'll find detailed instructions how to remove\relocate this in order to make use of the hole. At the moment I'm just using a short piece of pipe running to the headlight which seems to work ok. When I have some spare time I'm going to have a go relocating the CC, so let us know how you get on. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dixxy 0 Posted April 29, 2005 I had a feeling it was... do you know if these can be placed on their side? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted April 29, 2005 You can but it would better to move it under the wing. You just need to extend the hosing and secure the canister further back. You'll see what needs doing once the car is jacked up and the inner liner removed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dixxy 0 Posted April 29, 2005 I'll look into putting it under the wheel arch. Functionally tho will it affect the CC if its on its side. It will fit perfectly on its side under the BMC CDA. Has anyone configured it in this way? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted April 29, 2005 It should do as it's just a sealed container full of charcoal. I suspect VW mounted it the way they did because of it's size and lack of room in the engine bay. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
