Title: Mk5 gt tdi intercooler/ pipe
Post by: nath on December 26, 2013, 04:19:50 pm

Just had the bottom passenger side intercooler pipe blow off and snap the plastic  , any one have a step by step guide to replacing the pipe ( do I need to replace the hole intercooler ?)  is it a diy job and how much ? It's a  face lift model gt tdi 140,  56 plate . Also how does this happen? Thankyou all  :happy2:

As long as the intercooler isn't damaged, which is should be, replacing the pipe shouldn't be that difficult.

Do you have any photos of the damage?
