Do I need to replace te pipe as fed up put lifting the clip, putting the pipe back on and do it all over again after a drive. Have the money just dont know what the hell to buy!

-
get a new boost hose, or some better clamps?
or do them up tighter?
-
the clip is standard, had a loop in the middle the lift it up, slide the pipe back in place as it only comes out 1/2 way so put it back in and clip auto goes back into place. the pipe has not spilt or anything just not holding into place
-
sounds like the lugs on the pipe are worn so you better off replacing it
-
some better/stronger clamps needed :laugh:
**as well as replacing the pipe as rhys says more than likely the locating lugs are worn**
-
some better/stronger clamps needed :laugh:
you can't unforntunately as the TDI's use the push clip system - there's not a jubilee clip in sight :sad:

VW :afro:
Make sure as Matt says you quote the RHD part number for the ASZ engine as per the picture I posted
-
winner will call up now and see if they got any in. Am guesing it should be replaced pretty soon as performance is lost/power?

if your fitting the oem part then i would replace it with a genuine vag part tbh may be a tad more expensive but you pays for what you get another alternative is to give trade parts specialists a call genuine vag parts but trade prices :wink: will probs be £5 cheaper than vw and can get the part quicker :afro:

yep - basically venting all the boost to atmosphere instead of producing power

VW or Trade Part Specialists only
does look good tho :wink: :cool:
Its ok but the fitment isn't 100% as I noticed it rubs on the alternator :sad: So i've had to cable tie it :lipsrsealed:
-
48.90 from vw and 61pence for clips as it comes with o-rings. So will ring around anyway as they cant get the part till friday
-
is it easy to replace it? just lookin at it now and cannot figure out how to get the pipe off at the bottom ie pointing towards the lights etc the other part has already come off so thats simple

it uses the same clip as near the top but its much easier to remove the front bumper

sorry the end decided to go down and couldnt reply. After using brain power I have managed to fit the new pipe back on and its all working fine - much more pull as well!
