Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This kit is precision-engineered for the VW Golf MK7 platform, including the GTi and the Audi S3. Verify your engine code and specific vehicle sub-model before beginning the install to ensure hose path alignment.
Setup Instructions:
- Ensure the engine is completely cool before starting.
- Drain the cooling system into an appropriate container.
- Remove factory hoses one section at a time to keep track of routing.
- Apply a light coating of coolant-safe lubricant to hose ends for easier installation on ports.
- Secure each connection with appropriate high-quality hose clamps.
- Refill the cooling system and perform a pressure test to ensure no leaks exist.
Care: Periodically inspect the hoses for any signs of abrasion from rubbing against engine components. Clean with mild soap and water to maintain the blue finish; avoid harsh petroleum-based solvents.
