Intercooler hose seal part no required.
« on: October 23, 2011, 11:07:02 pm »
When I was changing the wheels on my car today for the winters I noticed there was a bit of oily gunge starting to seep through the join of the undertray and splitter.  The only thing I can think of is either some air con oil or that the inter cooler pipe is leaking slightly.  This being the case I suppose its also leaking a bit of boost...  

I didn't have time to take the undertray off or investigate further but does anyone know if there is a seal ring or is it just a clamp thats likely to need cleaning and tightening.  Leak observed just forward of the drivers side wheel arch.

edit:

Anyone got a part no for the seal ring?

8A (x2) is specified for the Pass side hose.



Don't be fooled by number 3.  It is a Clamp.

No, the outlet pipes on the APR IC are larger than the S3 (and standard IC) ones. It comes with it's own bespoke IC hoses.

The hoses taper to fit into the standard turbo discharge & throttle body pipe on a standard car so it should work with the "uprated" pipes as well.
