Suggest you cover the sticky foam pads on the flaps with sticky aluminium (insulation tape) with a good overlap. It gets hot in the heater box and they are likely to come unstuck.
When I took my heater box which I repaired with sticky pads because I didn't overlap the tape much the foam pad was peeling back.

Brilliant I didn’t think of that
My mates doing his aswell and he said is it worth bypassing the foam and go straight in with the foil?

So after my Epic Journey home from picking her up
She drove perfect responded when it needed to aswell
BUT.....
Non existing heating, I had to keep stopping every s often at a service station to warm myself up inside lol.

So on further investigation I discovered the dreaded heater flap fault and the fact the the cables were tie wrapped on and doing the square route of fook all.

So split the box and got creative with colours lol

Members' Cars / My Atlas Grey mk2 GTI 8v
Hi team,

Just joined so I thought I'd start my build thread.

So a little about the car

Bought it as it stands right now
its got more miles than the Apollo 13 space shuttle but I don't care as its mine.
the bloke who I bought it off lost all the paperwork

It used to be a purple colour back in the day (I'd love to find previous owner when it was)

So the gentleman I bought it off wanted to return it to stock but then lost interest but he resprayed it new front panel, new rear panel and then I bought it.

Spec
Coilovers 2 months old (brand unknown)
4 branch manifold
Wolfrace Alloys
Standard GTI brakes
GTI Engineering steering wheel
Had new Engine in 2001 from a scrap of paper I found under back seats.

Pics to follow
