| intercooler pipe not tightend |
|
Hi, I just saw that one of my intercooler pipes doesn't have a clip. Its the one at the bottom of the rad on the left when looking from the front. Does anyone know what issues this being loose will cause? Thanks

Loss of power / boost pressure, noise, may cause excessive black smoke from exhausts under acceleration, and a certain amount of oil leakage, unless you are extremely lucky and have no oil appearing in the turbo system. I found that unless the clip there is done up pretty tightly, oil seeps out.  Without a clip on it, I'm amazed the hose hasn't blown off TBH
