@flight89swan you are so right, I so wish I had thought about changing the radiator & the ac condenser whilst I was in there. I have since replaced the ac condenser.
I'm in the process of looking for an s3 intercooler as it turns out the cfs aluminum radiator will not fit the APR or IE upgraded intercooler. I haven't tried a CTS one as I'm not willing to spend 700 just to see. And the cheap ebay ic while massive the it also won't fit, side note those are a great bang for the buck. Not gonna lie having my own a/c machine makes this a alot easier and struggling with the a/c condencer is a lot harder then it looks. I did 2 before I got my machine and they made me hate it.
S3 intercoolers are easily accessible. I just wanted a simple fit & not have to cut things. 700 for an intercooler is a tonne of doe for me at this point but I bet it is a awesome bit of kit
@aguycalledjoe7802 over here the s3 ic is a little hard to find. The cts kit also comes with pipes but I have those already. I might just have to run the stock radiator and then if I come across an s3 later then see if it fits. CFS also didn't have an answer when I called and asked what aftermarket IC it fits. As they said if a stock fits on it will fit but I know that to not be true.
Those damn clip on pipes! I've given up on replacing seals on the charge pipes. Always leak. I've looked at a seller that makes a bayonet so i can clamp on silicone hoses but it seems overkill for a stock gti.

Fitting one of these over the weekend to my Tfsi converted caddy after stripping my mk5 Gti as a donor 😂
Handy video to watch
enjoyed this vid as former mk4 and now mk7.5 owner. looking forward to following along. cheers
Thank you very much, plenty of content on this car. As you will already know, the to do list on these cars are never ending🤣.
Good video, as always well explained, excellent work! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you
Good progress, but whilst the front end was off you should have just changed the radiator at the same time. Will save lots of time in be long run. 😊

I have noticed quite a lot of people commenting & complaining about these seals. They are not the best idea by VW.
Love your vids, are you looking to a modest 300hp build?
Thank you mate. The car is already at 320 so we will see what it produces once I have got it ready
@@aguycalledjoe7802 oh damn nice!!
fit a k04 and some spacers
@Muhammadkhan3557 it is already K04. I had Eibach spacers on the car but it actually drives a lot better without them.
How much did all the parts cost ya ?
I payed £160 for the intercooler from eBay
Did the s3 hoses fit directly onto the gti?
Yes it was a straight fit on my GTI👍🏿.
@8:10 where did you get the specification?
Yes I got the information from my local VW dealership.
You didn't have to disconnect the rad to do this job.
You are probably right but I have very limited knowledge & can only attempt things the way you see me doing it. I am slowly learning🙂👍🏿.
@@aguycalledjoe7802 no jip just passing on knowledge
@christopherbell7561 💯appreciate the knowledge, keep it coming🙂👍🏿
Future plans ?
Absolutely loads but just not enough time. Keep👀
It’s literally the same intercooler as ed30
The Audi S3 intercooler has better cooling capability over the ED30 intercooler👍🏿
Do you know whats the part number of that intercooler.
No sorry I do not know the part number, I bought it second hand from eBay. It is just an Audi S3 8P aluminium Intercooler. Hope this helps👍🏿.
@@aguycalledjoe7802 I've got a BWA 2.0t Jetta planning to go stage 2 soon wanna upgrade the intercooler. I guess the 6r one should work aswell
Yes i would imagine it is very simular, if not the same
