Mk4Gaz Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Hi all, I've done a bit of searching, but can't find a definitive answer. I'm currently replacing the inlet manifold, and I'm considering deleting the coolant feeds to the throttle body and iacv. I was planning on running a new coolant hose from the front of the head (just under the inlet cam) to the return line around the back of the engine, against the firewall. I'm not worried about the throttle body, but could deleting the feeds from the iacv cause any issues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David P Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 No problem with either here in U.K, delete away. Unless you're planning a road trip to Siberia in January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mk4Gaz Posted January 9, 2014 Author Share Posted January 9, 2014 Lol, nice one, thanks for the info mate. That'll make it easier getting back together! Did you leave the pipes open on the tb and iacv, or block them off to prevent dirt ingress? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David P Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Muck in there wouldn't cause any harm, I blanked the hoses at source and cut mine off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev.O Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 I removed mine a few years ago and I've never had an issue. Personally I cut the metal off: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashbuster Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 hi mate i cut my throttle body and iacv pipes off. i just want to make sure im right here and i havent missed anything but no other water pipes will be on that side apart from the ones for the oil cooler from the thick metal pipe and into the block. and then the new pipe that i fit from the front of the head by the cam pulleys and that goes to the rear of the engine onto the little pipe that comes off from the thick pipe. nothing else is cooled in that area is it ? and no other water inlets/outlets?
