Hi all,
Just had the Leon (Standard FR+ TDi 150 ARL) serviced by a local technician rather than the local dealer who has done a cracking job at a very reasonable price, whilst doing so he pointed out some of the areas where the car needs some work:
Pancake pipe (1J0145762BF) is damaged at the intercooler end and the retaining bracket is sheared. The other two intercooler pipes (1J0145834AA and 1J0145834AE) have worn bayonet lugs and seals.
Fitting a new standard pancake pipe (already ordered) and was thinking about replacing the pipes with a Forge kit. However the pipes are in good shape and I've found these forgemotorsport.co.uk/Alloy_Bayonet_Style_Hose_Coupler--product--600.html that would solve my problem. Had a search on the FAQ and the Mk1 forum but couldn't find anything that relates to this area.
Has anyone tried these, are they any good?
Does anyone know which is the correct size is? I think it's type B 64mm/54mm?
Thanks in advance for any advice...
