I love eBay! Bwahahahahaha. Luck I didn't spot the BMC CDA or I would have beaten you to that too

I like where this is going. Look forward to seeing the new toys fitted.

I might have missed it Trent, but have you now put the correct perforated grill on your drivers side so there can be airflow over your aux radiator? (pictures in thread show covered grill fitted).

G'day Graeme. Yeah I spent the excruciating painful time with the old stanley knife whilst sitting on our living room rug and watching tv. The GF was most unimpressed with the mess.

It's not the cleanest job in the world but it will do and I've also noticed since that you can actually buy grills with them already pre cutout.

By the way do you know the reasoning behind VW fitting the aux radiator to our cars? Is it a climate thing?
Cheers,
Trent

trez, quit typing.. start fitting!

**graeme86** · 13-08-2008, 11:25 AM

Yes, just extra "tropical" cooling capacity.

**ranton-inc** · 13-08-2008, 01:18 PM

haha so you did the "Holey Grille" mod

**graeme86** · 13-08-2008, 01:35 PM

By the way, regarding the flapper mod with switch.

The wires run down the passenger side on RHD. Don't come anywhere near our fuse box. The wire just comes out of firewall behind glovebox and then runs in the loom down the a-pillar behind the left kickpanel and then along the inside of car then to the pump under the back left guard.

In the engine bay you can also access it easily from the main 14pin connector next to the battery (under the air intake snorkel), but you would then have to run your switch wires through the firewall.

Just a matter of selecting the correct coloured wire as per US instructions, which looks quite thick (heavy duty wire).

Use the 87F terminal on the fuse box to power the switch but make sure you put a small rated fuse into the new switch circuit as the screw terminals are only fused with one of those 40 or 50 amp fuses on top of the battery at the moment. (All those bolts are "unfused" except for the large ones on the battery, so way too high for any added circuits inside the car).

Thanks Graeme. I figured that'd be the case. So have you actually totally disassembled your car into its' basic components and reverse engineered vagcom? Because you seem to know everything there is to know inside and out.

I've cut the flapper hose now and blocked up each end so I really can't be bothered anymore to do the switch. Plus I haven't had any unwanted attention from the rozzers or anyone so it's all good anyway (touch wood).

Trent
