Get The tin!!!!!!!!!

All the tin is important, but the tin at the rear of the engine is REALLY important.  After the air has cooled your engine it exits out the lower rear of the engine bay . . . but with the rear tin missing, the hot air will be pulled back into the top side of the engine and recirculate.  After a few trips around it's way to hot to absorb any more heat and you engine will keep getting hotter and hotter . . . at some point, something will snap, crack, pop, break or lock down.  So, like Big D and Bugnut said . . . Get the tin!!!

I'll say it one more time.   If VW didn't think this tin was important they wouldn't have spent the money to put it on there.  :roll:  :roll:

Wait, David you forgot the part where you tell him..."and don't put any of that made in taiwan chrome crap on there"..... :lol:

You have to take baby steps first :lol:

seems like i've seen some tin laying around at Tri-State he normaly closes around 12 on fridays if he comes in at all.  but trying shops closer might be the better option!

I got the tin for the bottom that covers the exhaust at Mainly Foreign car parts on Friday and put it on. I also wrapped the whole exhaust in some heat wrap to keep the temperature down. The combination of the two has made a huge difference on the engine compartment heat. I’m still missing the rear tin over the fan housing and I’ve read this isn’t as important as the bottom tin but I am planning on ordering one sometime in the near future.

Thanks
