I've had all my turbo/intercooler/radiator pipes and hoses off for a while. A couple of days ago I refitted everything. Some things seemed a bit tighter than I recall so I'd be obliged if a 1.8Turbo owner could veryfy this photo. The headertank isn't fitted yet.

Though it's all back into the right locations. this layout looks wrong to me. Shouldn't the pipe on the right with the dimple sit lower down?
Should it be underneath the large 'S' hose from the air filter?
Now baffled.


EDIT: A photo of your setup will help a lot.

Thanks Karl, I appreciate it.
Mine just seems different from what I remember.
Daft really, you look at the engine so often, yet when you strip it down, you can't remember how it was..

Hi TC,

Sorry for not getting back sooner. I'm away from home at the moment but found this photo in my archive from a while back.. not sure if it's of any help.. :shrug:

I'll get a couple of proper photos maybe tomorrow or Friday eve, but I think this dimple is to accommodate the header tank in that area, so your set-up looks ok to my eye..


Cheers,
Karl.

Many thanks. It does appear to be fine. Everything's now running normally.
