Blew the bottom pipe off the intercooler today, i took it off and the lugs are worn, a common fault apparently the replacement from skoda is £120 does anyone know if any motorsport companys do a replacement part or is the good old self taper solution. Any ideas appreciated. Thanks

Just bought one of these from the stealers today. An absolute rip off but I had to drive without it coming on boost as it'd pop off straight away. I found a company online which did a none oem one for ~£70, I didn't think it was worth the risk of it not fitting correctly and needed it quickly anyway. Good luck and hope you get it sorted!

Part number for it is 6Q0145832C

Forge sell a hose set.

This might be worth a look mate and pretty sure it is what Kenny is referring to

Is the forge on a direct replacement for the one above because the part number provided is the correct one but £115 its a rip off rather go down the forge route if its a straight swap. Cheers folks

There's also a full set from forge, pricey though.

Think a seller on eBay sells the metal connectors for around £17?

Found them. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/150802992992?var=450160387572&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

That's the hose that goes to turbo not the one that comes off the intercooler

I found this one

Sorted it today got the elbow from TPS for £95 cheaper than everyone else who wanted £115 so not to bad, repaired the alternator load wire at the same time. Thanks for the help "much apreciated".

wonder if they have the turbo pipe!?!

should do as they supply all parts, give them a bell.

Jeez 4 self tappers costing 95p would have done the trick

Not everyone wants or has the skill to drill and screw boost pipes though.

Same as not everyone wants to light a bag of money on fire for no reason

Wouldn't a hose clip round the join work?

No hoseclip wouldn't work

Best way is intercooler off and 4 self tappers at 90 degree intervals around the collar

Drill pilot holes

Screw in self tappers

Remove all self tappers and give the intercooler a good clean out of swarf

Refit self tappers

Boom £95 saved and proven to hold all boost pressure, i did this to my pd150 turbo and pulled 198bhp on an accurate rolling road that my pd130 pulled 173bhp

Fair play to you sir.

you can't do that to the metal joins though can you!

What joins are you on about?

You can self tapper each side off the intercooler (i have done it)

I have also self tappered into the solid metal 90 large bend on the turbo side again with no issues

The metal used is aluminium so very easy to pilot drill and use self tappers
