Need help with intercooler pipe please.

[dave king]

Hi

I need a bit of help on how the front mount intercooler pipe is
connected behind the engine.

I know its the one that runs behind the engine then goes down
to the turbo.

Does this have to be cut to allow the new pipework to connect
to the turbo.

thank you in advance.

LCR or LC180?

 

[dave king]

Hi

Its the lc 180..

thanks

Its not that hard, the upper boost pipe (with n75 and DV connection) goes down again behind the engine and is connected to a rubber hose (which tend to leak!). Rubber hose goes to pancake pipe > rubber hose > SMIC

Hi

What I need to know is I need to remove that pipe work and fit
my new pipe to the turbo.

Do I have to cut it or is ther a joint before the turbo..

thank you.

Why do you need to remove it? You can access the pipe from below the car and from the inner arch (drivers side).

Hi

I think I have asked this wrongly..

I am fitting a front mount inter cooler.

The pipe work that came with it gave me a pipe that
runs from the passenger side up past the battery and air box
and then goes down to the turbo where the pipe you described is.

Thanks again

That's it...


its the pipe on the diagram with dv top and dv bottom.


thanks

Dv top is a wrong label, its the connection for the n75 valve.

 

[dave king]

the pipe with the dv outlets is the one that goes to the turbo..


If it is,how is it connected to the turbo pipe.

thanks

You need to discard all original piping and work from the turbo outlet. So the one wit hthe 90 degree bend and 2 connections comes first.

any adapter..

No problem, happy days! I bought a new reducer for the first connection, fits better.

So did you have to buy that "missing pipe" separately?

Leon 1M does not have canbus afaik. What do you need to clear? Fault codes can be cleared with vcds/vagcom or with an universal obd reader.
