Hi, does anyone know which way round these bellows should be fitted. The Bentley Service Manual shows a picture with the long thin end pointing downwards. However a photo I found on the internet, that I attach, shows the long thin end pointing upwards. I have fitted it in the thin end pointing upwards orientation and it still leaks. Thanks
Sideways is definitely wrong ...but this is a picture of mine pointing upwards like yours, so both of ours could be wrong!
So it looks as if yours is fitted like mine, with the long narrow end uppermost. I kind of hope this is wrong! Must matter, as the two ends are different
I dont think you'd get the thin end over the funnel shape of the oil filler... fat end down Sent from my SM-T580 using Tapatalk
The Bentley pic deffo looks wrong. The Bentley manual is generally excellent but like any work containing a lot of technical info the odd mistake does creep in, theres a page on Ratwell detailing a number of them though it doesn't mention this one.
Definitely thin end up. A tiny pin hole can cause a big leak. I bought a brand new one from vwh and it had a split in it. I fasten them on with small cable ties
Mine's deffo 'fat end down', and needs replacing as it's split. One more thing to add to the list of things to do! Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
It’s not too bad. I remove the right hand lower tin between case and heat exchanger. Get some very thin cable ties. Long nose pliers to pull them tight.
