Title: Air Intake Pipe Installation
Post by: K03MK5 on January 11, 2023, 08:45:37 pm

Is it easy fitting the original air intake pipe?  Any helpful info would be great. 

Thanks.

Which pipe?  Snorkel to airbox or turbo inlet pipe?

If it's been off before, then it's likely a jubilee clip instead of the proper OEM constant tension clamp, in which case it's easy.

If you’ve got a clamp buy yourself one of these and save yourself from 1/2 hr of stress with a pair of pliers  :grin:
