Okay so I’ve been trying to achieve redineess for the catalytic converter. Put about 200 miles on the car and now the CEL pops for intake runner. I just replaced that, WTF.
Is there anything else that can trigger that code? I need a new battery hit have been keeping it on a tender until I get this emissions shit squared away.
Also idk what this is but it came with my new intake manifold. Is it important?

Ready to race!
I can't speak to its importance and am literally dealing with the installation of a new intake manifold right now (just awaiting the arrival of some ancillary parts). From the ECS Tuning product page: "Along with the updated intake manifold, VW added a third air supply line to the manifold flap valve unit. This required a new "fresh air" line to be installed with your new manifold, and this air should be filtered to avoid damage from foreign particles. The hose included in this kit connects to the top side of the valve and prevents dirt and debris from contaminating the valve. It bolts to the cylinder head between coils #2 and #3 with the included bolt." I admittedly do not know what makes the hose "required", especially since my car has been running very well for 14 years without it. For what it's worth, this site provides insight as to how the hose is routed.

what do you guys think about running these SS clutch lines?

I got a new clutch put in, and when I don't drive it for more than 24 hours-ish, the pedal sinks to the floor, if I drive it everyday, it's fine...
(TOB/Slave was replaced as well, clutch master cylinder was also replaced)
Anyone know IF there is air in the clutch lines, it'll go away by itself? or do I have to bleed it and get the air out?

no, not from what I can see, I have yet to check the brake fluid reservoir, I will check tonight after I'm done work.
no leaks from the pedal itself, I checked already.
I will bleed it out if the pedal sinks again after sitting for more than 24 hours.

ya I'm going to bleed the clutch soon, and ask for help.
OK, nice! any issues with the SS clutch line? how long have you had it for? ya I'll fix the clutch pedal issue FIRST before upgrading lines.
I'm going to get this: https://www.parkautomotorsports.ca/products/usp-stainless-steel-clutch-line-5-or-6-speed-for-audi-vw

Idk which one I have since it was from the previous owner. Works perfectly fine.

no air came out, only fluid, I will see what happens to the clutch pedal when left parked for more than 24 hours. Buying SS clutch lines.

it was replaced with the clutch, the master cylinder was also replaced prior to the TOB/slave-cylinder(same-thing) and the clutch.
All that's left is the clutch line... buying SS clutch lines.
