[QUOTE="tiki171081, post: 538335, member: 22123"] I have purchased the exact same DAUS system (recommended by VW heritage and a magazine I won't name for publicity reasons),but I have yet to install it. The installation procedure doesn't dictate the fitting to be upright. So it seems to me a slight incline should be OK. Is there any other way to install it though? I mean besides drilling holes in the wheel well? And did the kit contain the bracket? Or did you get one somewhere else? The only thing I hope is that the tubing won't melt when the engine is not on fire. It gets pretty hot in there. Sure, they state to keep the tubing at least 15cm away from hot surfaces, but I have yet to find out what these hot surfaces could be. For example, the fan housing gets pretty close to the top of the engine bay. Does this get hot? What's the best area to thread the tubing? If anyone else could post pics of such systems in their engine bay, I'd be greatfull! [/QUOTE]
