Ibiza FR TDI Intercooler Failure

[CrisisWolf]

SO off with the catch tray and check?

I didn't fit it myself so how are they fitted? Push on and clip or something else?

standard or aftermarket??? standard = black pipes / aftermarket = chrome pipes


i expect it will be those spring clips that ones have been taken off normally need to get replaced.

it would probably make it easier if you took the bumper off that way you could check them all

Aftermarket Forge pipes with Seat Sport FMIC.

I'll take the catch tray off and see what I can see, failing that I'll be googling a guide on how to take the front bumper off! I can't remember what types of clips are on there, and if they aren't there anymore if they are normal parts I could buy from a DIY shop or similar.

i cant remember if they have the green o ring seals on some of the pipes or not i will prob be a boost leak as fittin a fmic should cut out alot of smoke

shame you live far away i would of done it for you

I will take a look and hopefully it will be an obvious quick fix. Car itself feels fine although it has a slight flat spot around 2050-2100 now and then.

Its got to be said I think the FMIC sits neater behind the facelift bumper (looking at your sig)
