Well done mate. I really admire your work as I have the same car. You should have changed the sensor as well. Mine is leaking from there as well. I've bought the same stuff but from another supplier. I'm gonna get a shop to do mine, as I don't have patience to do it. Looking for forward to your interior upgrade. Greetings from Auckland.

Thanks man appreciate it. I’d rather have oem then duralast.

I have an 03 VR6 with 98k mi and have to do this job…. I’m dreading it!!!!

It really wasn’t bad. The crack pipe was the hardest part. I suggest doing a rad flush at the same time

@@ecgarage4384 i just did that -along with new rad and hoses less than 1000 miles ago lol 😂 just now it decides to leak. Doh!
Q. Does your GTI feel like from a stop in 1st gear is too much power? I start from second lol 😂

[@ecgarage4384]

No not really. Feels fine in 1st to me!
