Not sure when it comes to hoses may be a hard one to win !

It's weird it's gone in the same place may have to see if it's rubbing on something as i can't think why it would go again so soon !

Fairly certain its 12 months on parts if you fit it yourself and 2 years if the dealer fits it for you  :smiley:

Best of luck getting a free replacement :afro:

Pipe replaced and all fine now but no refund as they wanted to hook my ecu up to a computer and do tests didn't fancy risking them proving it was remapped as this invalidates any warranty on standard parts. Oh well was only £50 for a new pipe.

Would they charge you for doing these tests?  :undecided:

Still a bit rubbish they didn't give it to you FOC  :sad:

high how much are the clips that hold the pipes on, as mine looks like it is leaking goiing into the intercooler and out of the intercooler.

That same part was fooked on mine due to worn lugs, I was charged £20 for the connector and it was a nice tight fit once it was replaced. Mine was the connector behind the drivers headlight side of the intercooler.
