    Yea i spotted that and guessed it was it. Just plug with a screw you reckon? Won't 'damage' the inside of the hose with the thread in there? Appreciate your help. Just about to go for a drive so want to try before it all gets a bit warm!

    Yep just a screw. Just make sure it's not too big. I've did an epic job with screws and clamps and electrical tape on mine but looking at Al's and Graeme's Rs it's not necessary. They've had just a screw for much longer than I had the flapper mod done on mine.
    Cheers,

    Have fun, you're sure to enjoy it even more with the flapper mod done. There is a wealth of knowledge on here from all the other R owners as well as VW techs so feel free to ask and one of us will usually have encountered the question before.

    Yeah 3rd and 4th are definitely the most fun. It's also fun on the highway just to put your foot down in 6th just to feel the low down torque come into play.

    I've had my car since September 2007. Still want to just drive it at least 5 times a week or so. I must still be in the honeymoon period as well.
