The hoses supplied with this work on the MK5 GTI or do I still need to cut my originals?

Cheers

That BE version is an early revised part from the older alloy end tanks..........as the BP like what I have,  replaced it for whatever reason and is the current part num I believe.........not sure what they changed to improve it.

Otherwise is should work.........you will still have your originals and can mod them to fit without issue.

Also look for the rad packs, as they sometimes come cheaper or the same price.  I bought mine for £100 off a Sirocco R 2.0 TSI  and have a newer fan pack, rad and connecting parts as spares ..........easily sellable as the fans can get £100 on their own..........also coming like that protects the intercooler come delivery as it is sandwiched.

Thanks for all your help so far on all reply’s.

I’ve bought the intercooler above from eBay (Genuine Audi TTS (2011) intercooler 1K0145803BE) I’ve been told from my mechanic that the discharge pipe is also leaking and dripping onto the under-tray…If the discharge pipe is at fault… What discharge pipe will work with the GTI KO3 turbo and TTS intercooler I’ve purchased? I’ve already changed the seals on the OEM discharge pipe… but I think the factory hoses to the discharge pipe to the intercooler have worn (metal ridges) hence the leakage…

Is there a pipe that goes from the intercooler I’ve bought to the discharge pipe that uses jubilee clips on both sides instead? or can I use the pipes that came with the TT intercooler to the factory MK5 GTI discharge pipe? (8J0-145-832-A) Thanks

Yeah that specific area gets worn out the most. There's no fix, other than going with an aftermarket discharge pipe. I bought one of those cheap ebay discharge pipe kits, cut off the part where you put the quick connect port, welded an aluminium tube to extend it and tightened my intercooler rubber hose with a collar onto it.

if I cut the metal end off my factory intercooler pipe (both ends) do you think it would fit over the modified pipe? Or would I need different pipes.






I asked the fabricator he said this.
