VW Provent kits in progress.

geezer you better be doing one for a Polo TDI!

It's easy to fit it in T5 mate, just in case you didn't see my reply to your earlier post.

Yeah I did see it and thanks for the detailed info. Getting it as a kit really reduces my need to manufacture stuff (no welder). Happy to support the project and offer the vehicle for a prototype.

All VAG cars will be covered first guys, but it's all about making the right kit, the right way, and at the right price. It won't happen overnight, but it's certainly progressing nicely. Because I have a Golf, well the Golf / Jetta kit is going to be number one......because my dodgey install just won't do anymore!!

This is great news. I'd be interested in one of these kits once everything is sorted out. I have a 2008 103kw golf oiler.

I'm interested too. Got a 125Kw TDi GT. Unfortunately I'm in Adelaide.

The problem, as always remains the hose. I've one more major hose outlet to visit in the next few days, but it's down to this being the holdup!

Stay tuned!

[greygolf8]

Any updates ?

[Greg Roles]

Yep! The reason no-one really does them is getting the right hose is friggen impossible. Seems there is either the heat prone bunnings stuff, or way too thick serious stuff, and little inbetween.

I'm also getting advice as to the legalities of producing such a kit, and my responsibility should a warranty be refused because of the kit. Is a potentially scary thing.

Seems the idea is great but the implementation is a bit harder!

How "strong" (in legal terms) is a document that you sign to say that the person buying the kit takes full responsibility for the install and any subsequent damage...ie a document that fully absolves "Cogdoc" from any law suits? The only reason I ask is that many people that are willing to install a Provent are knowingly modifying their cars, and probably are fairly willing to sign away the responsibility to themselves as a condition of sale etc. Lets face it, if they didn't have a kit from you they are probably going to do the install themselves anyway, and maybe with worse quality materials or less research.

I don't want to turn this thread into a legal chit chat, but I'm just letting you know that I personally would be willing to sign such a document. Whether that document would hold up in court is another question?

Without any prejudice, the document would not be worth the paper it is written on , as most contracts can be challenged in court to the financial detriment of the defence. Someone can sign it and then take you to court and argue that they didn't have the legal knowledge to know what they were signing.

It is a shame that the design and products could not be put together as a personal project kit. Like this is the mounting bracket, this is the pipe, this is the provent, here are the directions install at your own risk.
