i was again today working on taking off the inlet manifold. but the cooland hoses that connect to it have no place on the new one. what do i do with all the things that dont connect to the dellortoes like those coolant hoses?

DO NOT BLANK THEM OFF They must be connected together the same as they are on a 1.6 GTI. You may be able to use the small "U" shaped hose from an early GTI for a neat engine bay look.

Either that or drive around with the heater on continuously so that the water will flow correctly around the head.

also note there is a restrictor in the coolant line when using the small U shaped pipe. At a guess the hole would be about 10 mm.
