Hi. Newbee here. Having vapor lock issues with my 07 GTI. Problem only occurs when ambient temperature is above 90 degrees at altitude (typically 7000 plus feet) after car has been running for two plus hours. Has happened in Denver on 100 degree plus days with long run times as well (5280 ft).
Issue has perhaps been slightly improved by mods, but still shows its face on the hottest of days. This has been an ongoing issue for the past few summers, but I haven't delt with it as I live in the mountains of Colorado and it's typically only an issue when I go to Denver (where it can get crazy hot - like it was this past weekend).
Mods Summary: APR Stage II, Neuspeed intake, Audi piston diverter valve, 3" downpipe with hi-flo cat, Neuspeed torque mount, Neuspeed sport springs wiht Koni FSD's, Rial Wheels, Falken FK452's.
I've changed out fuel filter - minimal improvement.
Anyone have similar issues in hot climates? Anyone try BSH PVC fix for vapor lock issues? Success? Alternative ideas?
Thanks.
