This is the second time this has happened to me and I only have 6500 miles on the clock. Please let me know if it has happened to you.

  • That has just happened to me. I had no clue what happened to it. The dealership said it was probably stollen. I found that incredibly hard to believe someone would break into my car, pop the hood leave the CDs, radar detector and everything else of value and steal my dang intake cover...

    They said it was my problem and not covered under warranty. I'm going back to BMW's.

  • Are you serious? Freaking hell!! It happened to me about 3 times and VW replaced it everytime... they even checked the radiator fans (as it ended up falling down into the fan and getting ripped to shreds... as you can see in this vid.) On the whole, I had great service with VW... I guess it depends on the dealer you go to.

    After this happened though, I got myself a "Neuspeed P-Flow" intake and I could not be happier... I would really recommend it to you!!

  • Hey, did u buy the car used?

  • Hell no... Brand spanking new. The issue has been fixed now though... I just ripped out the stock intake and installed a NEUSPEED P-Flow. So much better. :D

  • read on the forums aparently it happens alot just not to me.

  • I had it happen to me a few more times since this video... I got fed up with it and got a Neuspeed P-Flow intake. Much better!!!!!!

see all

  • Sorry to hear that this happened to you but it is not unheard of for the cover to come off. The Audi A3 that shares the same engine has the same issue. You can use a zip-tie to attach the cover to the housing by drilling a small hole in each piece.

  • LOL It happen to me All the time, Sticky tape it, thats what i do. :P

  • i own an 08 gti and have put 12k miles on it with zero problems. talk to your dealer to see if maybe there has been a recall.

  • I was told that because of the amount of torque the engine shifts alot... he also said it would be a good idea to get new engine mounts...

    go to mjm and look up mkv 2.0t: engine: mounts
