Grip the tube in the vice,then use a socket to unscrew the cap,it will be tight but it will come

I had a real problem getting mine off to. Broke a screwdriver and a allen key trying to unscrew it. Eventually used a 3 foot bar to lever it.

 

nightmare

 

Good luck!

Strange. My mocal kit came with everything, didn't need any of the OE parts at all, apart from the heat exchanger itself obviously.

Kev have you kept the heat exchanger on yours.

Yep. I wanted to keep the factory oil warm up system. Mocal supplied me with a new, longer threaded tube and a new end cap so that the mocal plate could be slotted in under the factory HE. I don't think it can work any other way as the mocal plate is a lot thinner than the HE anyway, so wouldn't the OE threaded tube be too long?

The OE thread would be to long,get some heat onto it,megga tight in vice and 10ft bar to crack it loose....post it to me i will get it loose for you :-P

I think the way kevs done it sounds better,where will i get just the longer tube and end cap.

http://www.thinkauto.com or Stealth can get them.

Shuan, if you want to retain the factory heat exchanger you need part F. This fits on the vw cap, then you screw the threaded bar onto it.

 

The bit you have is the one pictured below and is used when you delete the heat exchanger.

I didn't use F. C and D did the job.

Ben you did'nt use C,D then, you just used F on the OE tread & cap is that rite.

[Kevin Bacon 5]

No, C and D replace the factory tube and end cap.

 

Not sure what F is for, didn't need it on my install.

Kev you don't know if vince stocks these items do you

[corradovr6sc 0]

I didn't use C and D. I used the original cap and threaded bar and used F.

Lol ... I'm fitting mine shortly as well so we'll have to have a fight to the death between the Wiyaah and CVR6c to find the correct answer! :)

[corradovr6sc 0]

We're both right :)

[Kevin Bacon 5]

LOL!

 

All I did was take the HE off, chucked the OE cap in the cupboard.

 

Fitted Mocal sandwich plate, put HE on top of it, screwed in D, screwed C on the end, job done :-)

 

Yes Vince can get those parts.

Can anyone give a slightly more detailed (read step by step) installation guide for this, might be useful for the Wiki for those like me who are still learning?! Thanks
