Hi guys. Does anyone know where i can get hold of a lower intercooler pipe as the one i currently have fitted now is cracked and needs replacing. Dealer quote = £90 + vat. Thanks in advance!

someone needs to get copies of this hose manufactured, they would make a killing!

have you tried ebay mate?

Yeah i've had a look on there, cant find nothing

Where did it crack and how could you tell, is it the one you can see at the corner of the bellypan?

It's this part here http://briskoda.net/forums/index.php?app=core&module=attach&section=attach&attach_rel_module=post&attach_id=23542

Hope u can help me thanks

samco do a uprated one for about £100 ish

I have one which popped off a couple of times. I bit the bullet and bought a new one as I had Castle Combe the next weekend and I didn't want to chance it. One of the metal lugs looks a little worn, wether or not its viable to fix it on with a couple of jubilee clips I don't know. I was going to but it on Ebay for a £25 starting bid. The rubber is fine. PM if interested.

the pipe is covered in oil and is being held on with cable ties lol but will that be affecting my fuel economy because i aint getting many miles on a full tank

If it is leaking then yes it will have an impact on performance and economy as you won't be getting full boost as it's leaking out!

If the seal is ok then it is possible to "bodge" it on securely. Either with jubilee clips or maybe by screwing in.

I had the one on the top of the intercooler go recently. That was also because of those crappy metal lugs on the sides.

If the bottom one goes it's getting bodged!

BTW. The top pipe (which is bigger but the same rubber and type of clips) only cost me £28 from the delears! How come this is £90!?

dont know y its £90 performance on car is good just supping to much fuel i put v power fuel in worth £50 in return got 360 miles thats btween local driving an motorway at 70mph will it be due to the leaking pipe???? any help much appriciated thanks
