Product Description
The factory hose routing on MQB vehicles (like the Golf GTI and Audi A3) is a bit of an eyesore. It runs right over the top of the intake scoop, looking messy and—worse yet—physically interfering with many aftermarket intake systems. COBB Tuning designed this Reroute Kit to solve both problems in one shot. By taking the "scenic route" underneath the intake, this kit cleans up the visual line of your engine bay, making it look much more deliberate and less like a bowl of spaghetti.
But this isn't just a cosmetic hose. The engineers at COBB Tuning solved a major headache by molding a check valve directly into the silicone. On the stock setup, this valve is critical for stopping coolant backflow from the turbo. Competitor kits often force you to cut your old hose and reuse the potentially brittle factory valve. With the COBB kit, it is truly plug-and-play. You get the durability of 3-ply silicone, the convenience of an integrated valve, and the clearance you need to install that big intake you’ve been eyeing. Don't let a twenty-dollar hose dictate your build; clean it up with COBB.
