taking it off was hard, putting it back on was a nightmare, i broke the pipe opening that goes onto the turbo

are they cheap enuff from main stealers ?, the pipe underneath the intercooler im on about.

how do u put em on, i couldnt get the pipe onto the turbo AND the inlet chamber together,hence i broke it !!!!

skilled job or wot !!!!!!!

 

Patience young one, the art of intercooler re-fitting is a task for the cool headed spanner monkey.
Try smearing a bit of vaseline or engine oil on the hose ends and intercooler flange next time

As for cost, dunno - I've never broke it

 

get a samco pipe..... a lot more flexable and so much easier to refit onto the turbo

 

hmm, im not looking forward to the refit when i get the new pipe !!

the samco pipe, does that replace the pipe that is bolted on underneath the intercooler to the turbo or from intercooler to inlet manifold ?

where do i get these and how much if it does replace the underneath pipe ?

i currently have what looks like a large Rad pipe connecting the intercooler to inlet manifold and that isnt too flexi either !!!

cheers all......

 

This pipe,but mine doesnt have the flexi bit inbetween

 

i did manage to change clutch fluid tho, 1 bonus i suppose !!!

funny how the epdal goes to the floor when u open the bleed nipple and it doesnt return, i had to hoof it with me toe to get it back LOL, all doen now tho !!

cant drive it tho, ruddy intercooler !!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

fixe dnow, got apiece of rubber silicone piping for turbos etc, attached this, nice and easy to remove/replaced intercooler !!!!!!!!
