Which hoses for S3 intercooler?
« on: March 20, 2017, 03:22:50 pm »
Managed to get a second hand S3 intercooler for my edition 30 but can't find which hoses I need to fit it.

I've seen some part numbers on another thread in the forum but they come up with hoses for diesel engines.

Any help would be appreciated.

Better idea?
That helps a lot thanks.

So just cut the connectors off both pipes and just the passenger side needs trimming. Awesome!

Yep it's the guide I followed and works fine. Once cut the metal fitting just bend underfoot no need for a vice  :happy2:

What do you mean by underfoot?

Are the hoses secure enough without jubilee clips?

Once cut just stamp on them to squash them if you don't have a vice.

No, you will need clips.

Or get a pair of 6R hoses if in doubt.
