chuck 0 Posted February 8, 2003 Hello, I recently took the top of the airbox (K-jet 16V) to work out how to get the 10K performance booster spray stuff (seems to be getting good reviews) into the system without the engine stopping. i finally found a pipe that could be removed, above the panel filter, that allowed the engine to stay running. Anyway, my question is this - should i see and oil in there?? There was a little oil (old and very sticky) around the mechanism for the air mass meter, and a fair bit all over the inner surfaces of the main air duct all the way into the engine. Again, very sticky stuff - wasn't rubbing off with cloth. Bit like that bit of jam you regretted not wiping off the counter earlier that morning. Don't know if its a problem, or just a 100,000+ miles engine, but doesn't seem to affect the running of engine - idles smoothly and revs well, no (minimal) oil leaks and reasonable fuel consumption. Only askin cuz when i did the same to my scirocco (sadly no longer mine), it was clean. Where would oil come from anyway - its the airbox!! :scratch: Any ideas.

steveo29 0 Posted February 8, 2003 its best to jamm the 10k boost pipe in nearer the throtle housing.....loosen the clamp on the rubber boot..it should go in there and a little oil/mess in the airbox is normal Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
