@bluo i think i might have done something similar to mine when fitting - currently have coolant leaking all over the place.

what was the part called that you ordered from the main dealer?

thanks

Not sure what the part was called, I just removed it and took it to the dealer and got another two days later.

Bump - anyone know how to prevent this? Just had it fixed but the mechanic said it will happen again as it's putting pressure on it

Thanks

Remove the intake and buy a decent one!

I've seen some UK made ali hose connectors on some of the Facebook groups cheaper than the one Dave J linked to.

The clearance for the coolant elbow is entirely dependant on how the air guide is fitted to the slam panel.  It needs a bit of experimenting (and raising the canister height as discussed) to find the right compromise.  You shouldn't have to do that on a well designed product, but [sh]it is what it is unfortunately.
