When I was changing the wheels on my car today for the winters I noticed there was a bit of oily gunge starting to seep through the join of the undertray and splitter. The only thing I can think of is either some air con oil or that the inter cooler pipe is leaking slightly. This being the case I suppose its also leaking a bit of boost...
I didn't have time to take the undertray off or investigate further but does anyone know if there is a seal ring or is it just a clamp thats likely to need cleaning and tightening. Leak observed just forward of the drivers side wheel arch.
edit:
Anyone got a part no for the seal ring?
-
There is an o ring, mine has perished twice and has felt much better after it was replaced :happy2:
-
Has been drivers side both times on mine however others ar prone to going, Robdf2 has had other ones fail. Only a cheap fix :happy2:
-
^ Thanks for that.
Any chance of a cheeky part no :innocent:

I have the same problem on the passenger side of the intercooler weeping oil.

8A (x2) is specified for the Pass side hose.

Don't be fooled by number 3. It is a Clamp.

yep i have , seems my car is always doing weird things lol.
make sure you do get the coreect oring because either end of that pipe are different sizes , i have no idea why they didnt make the o rings a standard size :stupid:

Ive got my old pipes if you wanna buy them off me. I swapped mine for the S3.
-
Question: would the forge turbo hoses fit to the APR intercooler?

No, the outlet pipes on the APR IC are larger than the S3 (and standard IC) ones. It comes with it's own bespoke IC hoses.

Bugger. So I wonder if i would be stuffed the the turbo discharge & intercooler pipe too?

The hoses taper to fit into the standard turbo discharge & throttle body pipe on a standard car so it should work with the "uprated" pipes as well.

Sorry to be a PITA but you confused me there :ashamed:
-
Although the outlet pipes on the APR IC is larger than standard and needs the bespoke hoses, at the other end of each of the 2 hoses the couplers mates up to the standard turbo discharge & throttle body pipes.
The "uprated" turbo discharge & throttle body pipes should have the same coupler size as standard so they should work with the APR IC hoses.
Hope that makes it clearer.

Okidoke, that is clearer to me Thanks :happy2:
Want a Braille battery for your discharge hose? :wink: If not I will have to sell it and pay you as Ive wanted it for a while just put off by the need for machining, dont want it being inferior to original design
