(ps: have searched. but not really found anything ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gtiracer 0 Posted July 18, 2007 Normal practice is people squeeze it in between the the back of the headlight and the battery. When i find a pic ill post it up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jackherer 543 Posted July 19, 2007 here you go, heres mine Thats a 405 Mi16 hose, if you have a BX 16v engine that hose is a bit longer so you have to relocate the washer bottle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
205toby 0 Posted July 19, 2007 Well I had this same problem and didn't want to do it like that. So I relocated my battery to the boot and made it fit that way. As soon as I have enough posts to upload pictures I'll show you how I did it. Cheers, Toby Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jim205GTI 3 Posted July 19, 2007 i had a bx hose, so i cut it down and used some sealnt on it inside and out. Also had to trim down the top hat adaptor but all works fine squeezed in behind the headlight Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ryan 99 Posted July 19, 2007 Just to be awkward I copied the 309 GTI16 setup... The AFM needs to do turned on it's side to get the battery in though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gtiracer 0 Posted July 22, 2007 Thats a 405 Mi16 hose, if you have a BX 16v engine that hose is a bit longer so you have to relocate the washer bottle. It is from a BX gti buddy, have a look thru akroblade954's old post's thats who i bought the car from, even have the donor cars log book slip in my file for the car so it almost definately did, maybe somethings been messed about with i dunno?

The engine may well be from a Bx, but your hose coming from the throttle body to the AFM is definitely a 405 one rather than a bx one Alex, that's what Kieran meant. The Bx one is longer and doesn't really have any give/flex in it like the 405 ones. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Bx one is longer and doesn't really have any give/flex in it like the 405 ones. Exactly. The loom and throttle cable attachment are clearly from a BX so I agree it is most likely a BX lump but you've definitely ended up with a 405 hose at some point, by the sound of it while the engine was still in the Citroen, I'm not sure how well it would have fitted the standard air filter but maybe they used an induction kit.

rjw205 8 3 Cars Posted July 26, 2007 Phil, It all looked as though it could go in front of the battery on the weekend. Alternatively, unbolt the afm, filter and inlet and thrown it away, and get some proper stuff nailed on instead! As a slight aside, is there a way of modifying (butchering) the smaller 205 one to work with the 405 loom's plug? Rich Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Holley 11 Posted July 26, 2007 Heres mine with the bx intake I went and got a 405 one and its just fits All a distant memory now though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
