Mk4 R32 Perforated Grills

Should be a very good thing, but i'm still not gonna do it to my car. The POD filter is just behind it, and i don't wanna think about it every time there is some water on the road (not that it happens often in Perth ).

So is mine?

water blowing on to it isnt going to do jack

i knows as it was pissing down hard for the last 4 days

is when you completely submerge the pod in a puddle thats when your going to have a problem!

oh ok...
Did you notice any difference when you floor it? It should be getting a lot more air now

its was actually advised to me by the VW Techos to drive with the Grille out as the pod wasnt getting enough air.. it threw some readings out when they were running diags on it

hmmmm, there's something to do when i get home! I'll take it out and see what happens. Thanks mate!

Definitely want to do this mod now. Looks so much better. Hitman, would it be worth using a heat gun before cutting out the pieces or do they cut out quite easily without it?
I think I'll still get one of those air bypass valves when I get my cai tough.

I used a hair dryer just to gently warm up the grill every few minutes or so, also you want to have a few spare blades as the sharper the blade the easier the cutting.
