160 Air Intake Recommended!!!!!

[Auric Goldfinger]

Just fitted a Cupra 160 Air Intake. Been for a test drive on country roads and a quick blast up the A1 and YES it does make a BIG differance to the car. Accelaration is a lot smoother and there is more trottle responce,less smoke from the rear I also think MPH has gone up Big thanks to Chavyboy, fitting instructions were spot on :clapclap: Excellent service from seat dealer in Poppleton near York Ordered Friday 11am picked up today (Monday) 11am. I somtimes think that "little" mods don't work all that well, You think they do because everyone else fits them so they must work...Belive Me THIS ONE DOES For less than

I couldnt agree more. A lot of people seem to say its not worth having without remap.....rubbish!

3rd Gear is ace, using all the revs so much more than i used to. It even sounds nice

I've not been "tweaked" since getting the cupra intake fitted, but it drives very well - The thing is I was remapped before on the standard intake, so cannot tell any discernable gains from just fitting the cupra one alone. However, come my next "tweek", it should help a lot.

[beeftech]

Just fitted mine about 1/2 hour ago, So when I drive it in the morning I'll let you know

[Auric Goldfinger]

sorry what are the part numbers for the PD 160 air intake

[SteVRs]

What are the insurance implications? Anyone had a quote with it on (without remap)? Also, is it classed as a performance modification on the insurance?

Jonny5ive, let us know what the score is with it on - timed runs would be great (to eliminate the placebo effect these things have) but not essential

[Goodas]

I have the intake and filter, otherwise completely standard.

Did two timed runs, first one way and then back again.

first run 7.8 seconds (very slightly down hill)

second run 8.1 seconds (opposite)

Car has done 16k so its nicely run in.

[WW_VRS]

I have sent an email to my broker regarding this, explaining the non-performance enhancing aspects of it (ie no power increase).

Annoyingly things like the strut brace may end up being classified as a suspension change which would slam it straight into bigger premium hike categories.

I will try to post back as soon as I have results regarding my insurance.

Ordered mine today from Amethyst SEAT in Cheltenham

[Jonny5ive]

HEY.........................How come yours are 42 pence cheaper

Maybe cos the Dealership is shared with Kia :eek: therfore "cheapening" the whole product

[spottydog]

It's obviously a popular mod because I ordered mine today from Knights in Newcastle and he knew straight away as soon as I gave him the first part number.

[beeftech]

So Did Seat Dealers where I ordered mine

It does make a difference, picks up a bit quicker, but thats all I can tell at the mo!

Toyo's......Mmmm Bag 'O' 5hite........

Only last about 3000 miles!!!!

Got Yoko 539's and they are superb! Gonna try Pirelli P-Zero's next!

Better grip tends to be less durable and vv - that's a neverending one

I'm kinda hoping I will get a response back from my insurance broker regarding the Cupra intake, as well as the strut brace.

Somehow I have a feeling Zurich isn't particularly mod-friendly, in which case it will be interesting to see how I can get it done. Hoping to play the 'fitted by Skoda dealer' approach out a little, usually that helps things a lot. I know it will cost me a bomb in labour but at least I am allowed it without having to switch insurers mid-policy which would cost me a fortune.
