Description:
Intercooler Vent Plate, VW A4 Chassis 1.8T
Tools Needed:
9/64" drill bit; Phillips screwdriver; utility/hobby knife; T20 torx driver
for liner removal (optional)
Notes:
Autotech's Vent Plate is designed to open up a straight pathway for air that flows through
the factory intercooler. In stock form, the fender liner is so close to the backside of the
intercooler, that optimum airflow is reduced, forcing the air to find its way out beneath the
liner. By freeing up the airflow off the back of the intercooler, better heat exchange takes
place, increasing the intercooler's effectiveness at cooling the intake air. Our louvered plate
remains effective at preventing debris damage to the intercooler core, while allowing excel-
lent airflow.
Procedure:
1) Place the front of the car on jackstands, block the rear wheels, and set the parking brake
to ensure the car is safe to work under. You'll want to remove the right front wheel to
allow easier access to the front fender liner.
2) Cut out the rectangular template provided on page 3.
3) Position the template on the liner about an inch up from the bottom and an inch and a
half out from the inner edge. Observe the webbing on the intercooler-side of the fender
liner. You may want to adjust the position of the template to find the "sweet spot" relative
to the webs, so as to avoid interference with the mounting screws.
