Brad's Seat leon TDI project, end of an era!!

Its very slight weep and apparently even common on the standard ones. If you could let me know exactly which ones I can pop to b&q and get some.

There should only be one sort of packet for them mate, you should be able to tell which one by eye, i think the packets were around £1.60 if thats any help

 

[jonjay]

Ok I will have a look and if i cant see them will give you a ring/text.

I got given two connectors, one for either end of the pipe, if you get the sfs pipe with two connectors it will connect straight to your original pancake no problem, I only used one connector as the 1.8t pancake pipe doesn't have a silly connector so it fits perfectly over hope that helps mate

WHat diameter of hose to you need to fit over the intercooler end of the 1.8T pancake pipe?

Well after being on holiday for a week ive been thinking about the problems maz had with swelling of the boost pipes and i was thinking maybe my ths169 boost pipe may have swelled under boost and been rubbing. How right i was, it wasnt major, just tiny marks but it goes to show you that the pipes swell alot as i made sure my pipe was away, atleast a good inch or so from anything with a pointy edge. So today i got some metal pipe and done the same thing as Jonjay has got and what chrisgtl is also doing. Heres a few pics Also got another job for D.K

Only problem is the belt, the standard plastic pipe is so close to it, but i managed to avoid it with alot of room to spare

So the SFS all silicone pipe causes problems???

What size diameter and lengths have you used for the alloy pipes and silicone bends? Think I might have a go making one up instead of the SFS pipe.

 

[brad1]

The diameter of the sfs turbo red pipe is 50mm, and the pancake end it slides over is 50mm so you get a good fit, then the other end is 60mm

The full sfs THS169 actually swelled so much under boost, so much that is rubbed on the belt and scored a little hole in it, then found it when i was driving home from work one night, booted it and loud hissing, so next day i cut the straights out and used 60mm pipe. To make this pipe yourself, you will need a metre of 60mm ally pipe, two 90degrees silicone bends and one 45degrees bend, hope that helps mate. Top pipe is made up of 60mm pipe work

Thanks for that.

So do I need 60mm OD or ID! I need it to fit over an EGR delete pipe too - which is 57mm OD or ID??? so i need 60mm OD or ID hose??? Now I'm confusing myself!

I think SFS sell the connectors separately, as I will need two of these to fit to the intercooler. I think these are 60mm too???

On my 110, i didnt have none of these cr@ppy connectors mate, but i beleive its a 60mm connector to the intercooler. Also its 60mm ID which ive got

So 60mm ID for the silicone hoses and 60mm OD for alloy pipes.

I used to have a 110tdi and was great not having these stupid connectors I now have to put up with!
