Apexi Rubbing

[cmarshall]

Hi has anyone elese got the problem of there Apexi induction kit rubbing against the Battery cables? Mine does and is wearing away the filter. I know you can relocate it but shouldnt have done it in the first place, being a manufacturers fault.

[earpl]

relocate it and it will rubb on the aircon charging block :P

move the cable back + cable tie it out of the way

[cmarshall]

Ive done that but the damage is done. Has everyone else got a damaged Apexi then?

[clarky]

Nope cos I have a Battery tray and its bracketed to that so doesn move and rub ...

Had a problem somewhat similar to this, I've only realised while I was cleaning the engine bay the other day, that my induction kit has worn a hole in one of the cells of the Battery. eek!!

Mine rubbed just on the way back from Envy when it was fitted... damage done, but never bothered me really... i tied the cables outta the way. It's relocated now with a sponge and a few sticky pads stopping it from knocking, rubbing and banging on everything around it!!

yep it has done it on mine as well. only relised when i had to disconnect the Battery. and matt why is it user error. just like urs burnt a hole in ur bonnet insulation and didnt bother to oil it :P

[biffstergray]

Just checked mine and no rubbing :) .

But did notice the throttle cable had been slightly rubbing the Battery terminal!.

you want some of those cheapy kickplates from rip speed and stick it round your Battery, that way it will destroy that before your Battery and give you time to get some more of those ripoffspeed bits. i put one on and its still going, its been about 3 months.

mines relocated and because the Battery is sideways the funnel knocks against the battery harness creating a line along the funnel, it hasnt gone through but its still a bugger.

the engine mounts, if i upgaded them then it wouldnt knock at all. its because the engine moves in the bay as your driving so it knocks. with the relocation anyway.

im not quite sure what chris is going on about cos as soon as i put mine on i relocated it. sounds bizarre though.

wtf???? if you positioned it properly it wouldn't rub......... as easy as that.

mine is positioned properly as per the manual and brackets it cant go any other way but the damn thing still rubs its a poor design so i use cable ties

[earpl]

its not poor design, it fits on the intake perfectly. brain should just be engaged whilst fitting, like matt said........... user error.

It fits on the intake perfectly but the filter itself is to close to the Battery that vibration causes it to rub no user error here everything is where it should be. Are you saying that your filter has never rubbed and is in perfect condition

[knightrider]

better engine mounts would help as i had lots of problems with my exhaust due to the amount of movement the engine has
