S3 cooler question

(1/4) > >>

Namsgti:
Hi everyone,
Just got a alloy s3 intercooler, does not come with any hoses
My question is will my hoses fit it or will I need to get s3 ones?
Also is there anything else I need to fit it ?


Thanks in advance

fab5freddy:
You don't have to get the S3 hoses, you can modify your original ones.

You will have to cut the coupler off at the turbo discharge side where it joins the cooler and use a suitable jubilee clip  :happy2:

Obviously if you want to return to standard at some point, you might be better off picking up a spare discharge hose

IIRC i think you also need slightly longer bolts for fixing the cooler, hopefully someone will confirm

Namsgti:
Thanks fab5

Hopefully someone will tell us what part number these bolts are

Close, need different style of bolts. Need M6 X 16mm (x10)
The oem GTI uses bolts for the plastic tanks which have a course thread and not to be used on the alloy intercooler.

To modify the GTI hoses user his guide:
