if the grey bit of trim in this pic is annoying you, just take it off and put it in a box or something.

It drops down a lot as ive removed the front headliner which seems to hold it up

Yet another thing ive never noticed on my van..

Still can't believe how lucky i am about the sill, probably the last one :shock: I think that stat will work really well, i am much happier with it measuring actual inlet temp rather than being strapped to the rad

aye well i think it wioll give a more accurate control and the other sweet little sensor (mapf) i may incorporate that into the outlet tract so we can do away with one more set of joins as well. will just need a new hose ,soon work it out,

I'm happy with that, infact, when you get that intercooler you will see vw moved the sensor (MAP)to the intercooler, pipe wise, just let me know what you need and i'll order it. Less joints the better.
That side of the engine bay is going to look SO empty, especially now the loom is moving.
