It baffles me why they ever used the stupid clip system! Thought I fixed a problem at the bottom of the intercooler and then find that the top connection is causing a boost leak!
So today's job was to whip off the bumper, take the driver's side headlight out and then remove the offending pipes, clean then up then re fit them. Luckily the seals on the pipes were ok. But due to the stupid clips the connecting pipe had managed to work it's self loose. I forgot to get a picture of how it all was before I started but I got a couple to show where the problem was and the part that was causing it.
There is a bit of pipe that sits between the 2 connections. That is where the clips had come loose causing a boost leak.
The connecting pipe and seals all cleaned up.
All back together nice and tight. Just hope the clips hold together a bit better this time.
