Hole in intercooler

(1/2) > >>

Multicrazy:
Hello everyone.

My intercooler in my 2008 GTI broke and made a hole on the side. Do I have to replace it? Was wondering if it would cause a vacuum leak and if it will affect the car’s performance in any way.

Thanks so much

mjmallia:
Any hole in the turbo system would cause power issues, so yes it does need to be replaced.

Multicrazy:
Thank you so much

Had mine fitted yesterday though had to adapt hoses to fit which they dont say in the manual.
