I'm almost sure it shouldn't look like the attached pic.

Somebody please tell me it shouldn't !!

Err no

No, haven't done it on purpose. Only reason I can think of it being like that, is when I had it in at the dealer about a month ago.

This maybe the cause of a problem I'm currently having.

Can't really see where it's supposed to fit. I've pushed to the right (towards the centre of the car), but it seems out of place.

Ah ha! Now I get ya!

Think I'll do that in daylight hours.

for the uneducated what is the intercooler? Is that the red bit if tube behind the ducting? If so mine had part of a dead bird in the 10-12 mm tube. Where does the tube go to? Sorry to be basic

This site explains it better than I ever could. The intercooler is the charge cooler in the diagram

thanks, even I understand the diagram. I assume the small red tude behind the grille on the VRs is the air inlet to the turbo then? seems a vulnerable place to put it, it must get full of water, dust, muck, insects and bits of roadkill. can it be cleaned out?

no thats up under the bonnet

that's a relief but any idea what the bit of red tubing is with the tapered inlet. It sits behind the drivers side lower grille. The grille that surrounds the spotlight. Could be a small inlet or maybe a drain???? Mine had the remains of a sparrow bunged in it !!! Any component coloured red seems to take on the staus of something important. Would like to know....

Can't say I've ever noticed a red tube behind the grille.

There is a screw hole for the towing eye in that area.

Managed to refit the ducting. It was in completely the wrong place!!

im going to remove it tonight and look

just looked and there is no red anythings

I think it looks quite cool without the grille!
