Great video. Seems easy enough to do. Got an oil and boost leak from my inlet. I'm replacing it with a new one with the flaps, paid about 100€ for it. If the last one lasted 250k km I assume this one will at the very least guarantee me 200k more which I am happy with for 100€. Wouldn't mind doing the flap delete, or an aluminium inlet, but I'll try doing it the "factory way" and see how it goes :) If it doesn't go well, I will just do the flap delete, as it seems like a one afternoon job anyway. Thanks for the video!
@@Villageidiotsworkshop oh great! i have the exact same problem with my octavia rs with bmn motor but im kinda scared to remove these flaps, what if i mess something up and the car will not start? i'll call my mechanic tomorrow if he can do that. thanks a lot mate!
I think its relativly easy diy job, just be careful with electronic connectors, sometimes those are quite stuck. And as careful as possible, to not drop anything inside the engine 😅
@@Villageidiotsworkshop so M12 threaded bolt & epoxy resin to glue it in. Did you have any problems with yours after ? Mines completely loose so want to delete it.
I made also extension from the actuator (?) Bracket, to hold the plug in place while the glue was curing, cause that loctite glue i used, had 24hour cure time, and i wasnt going to wait that long No issues afterwards
Nyt se selvis mulle mikä tekee noista "uusista" moottoreista "vähäpäästöisiä" kun ne kaikki päästöt jää tonne moottorin sisälle. Vanhana riisseli miehenä konstit moottorin puhdistamiseen oli helpot. Lappu lattiaan ja mutka punaseks niin paloi karstat ennen kuin ne kerkesi edes muodostumaan. 😁
Alhaalta alko vetämään vähän paremmin, mutta tuo on jo niin holotna koko vehje, että suurin hyöty oli kun ei sylje laturin päälle enää nokiöljytöhnää 😄

Thanks!
did you experience a loss of power at low rpm after removing the flaps
No, in my case it got happyer at low rpm. Stock happy ofcourse 😅
hey, did you replaced the intake manifold gasket?
No, just cleaned it, i think i put little bit of engine silicone sealent on it.

What is the size of the plug to blank hole please ?
Actually i cant remember, i just cutted thread part of some random bolt, maybe M12. Thread was just to get more "grip" for the epoxy glue
@@Villageidiotsworkshop okay. Thanks you very much mate. Only video to show this being done I can find. Will try tomorrow
As long as its bigger, than the hole for shaft itself. So that it cant get inside the engine in any possible way 😅

Joo mutta oli "kannen porttaus" helppoa, kun raapi nokitöhnään halutun muodon 🤣
Oliko mitään eroa auton käyttäytymisessä? Olisi itsellä sama homma tarkoitus tehdä omaan octaviaan 😁
Alhaalta alko vetämään vähän paremmin, mutta tuo on jo niin holotna koko vehje, että suurin hyöty oli kun ei sylje laturin päälle enää nokiöljytöhnää 😄
@@Villageidiotsworkshop sama ongelma itselläkin 🤣
Oli mukava homma vaihtaa laturi, kun sitä "lakritsia" oli sentin kerros päällä 😄
@@Villageidiotsworkshop samapa se oli mullakin että laturi piti vaihtaa vielä levikkeellä kun levisi kesken matkan 🤣
Mulla on ollu ihmeen hyvä tuuri, että tää on halvaantunu aina omaan tai työmaan pihaan 😄
