RacingLine TFSI intake kit for K03/K04
teo_parvu:
Even trimmed it looks like the intake is touching the cover, that could generate some noises. I believe you've checked that. it looks good, factory like. :congrats:

Ah yes, I have trimmed it already but that picture is the 100% stock cover, showing how close the clearance is, before I modified it. It's just a warning you will need to do it :happy2:
teo_parvu:
oh, that explains it. :laugh: :thinking:

there is no excuse for crap like this on a £400 intake.

That's the long and short of it as far as I'm concerned. Thanks for posting your experiences, sorry it has been such a sh*te one!
I've always liked the look of the 42DD intake, OTOH it is even more expensive than the VWR!

Racingline have got in touch and acknowledged this kit needs improvement. They didn't get defensive about the harsh comments either, which in my book shows maturity in dealing with negative feedback. Problems do occur but it's how they are dealt with that counts :happy2:
I've been invited to their HQ on the 23rd to work through the problems together. Can't say fairer than that!
Yes the 42DD kit has some nice features, namely this piece. An exact replica of the OEM MAF housing to guarantee 100% accurate fuel trims :happy2: The MAF is the primary load sensor, so the cross sectional area of the housing has to be calibrated to factory spec, otherwise the entire rpm range is affected.
Making something like that requires a lot of R&D, pre-production testing, tooling and development costs. Having said that, China are well setup for this kind of low volume prototyping with a quick turn around, at a far cheaper cost than domestic prototyping companies.
