Mk5 golf gt 170 intake different manifold?
« on: December 10, 2022, 01:44:16 pm »
Hello all, very new here but have done light work on my previous gt 170 (was a sport I can’t find any differences tbh) stuff like dogbone mount casual care for engine like filters, I have purchased a 170 gt 06 plate and was wondering one very important detail when I opened the bonnet, my intake manifold is not made out of plastic?! Any contribution to knowing why this is, is appreciated, cheers
