I'm having difficulty getting hold of the lower intercooler hose. It's become porous and throwing oil around, not from the o ring area!. According to Jules I'm only the 2nd person to ask for this item in 5 years! Looks like I will have to settle for the rubber one. I don't want to go for the used item either. Anyone have any ideas??? I wouldn't have thought this would be so difficult??

Question Bottom intercooler pipe revisted

I have been looking at an old post. I have an idea. Ash are within 8 miles of me and could supply the following. This is what is required from an earlier post on the subject.
two 90 bends with 100mm legs 4 ply 5mm thick wall, and a 5" 51mm O/D piece of stainless tube. See picture on next link!

Still working fine on my car.

Lost the pictures I put up as I no longer subscribe. Mods - can they be recovered for posterity?

Strange. I can see them now.

Please review the text in the link. I needed 1 x 60 degree and 1 x 90 degree, not 2 x 90 degree. The picture makes the bends needed clear.

Now purchased the items direct from ASH at a total cost of £41.35. It was 14 miles from where I live. This price is less than 1/2 the price of the £86 plus postage from Rimmers and that 's a rubber one. > all i need to do now is fit it!

Hi Rob. Have you managed to fit the new hose yet? Been a lousy day with rain here. Nothing done again to the silver one.

I have never seen one of those bottoms hoses go porous, in fact I have used several of these hoses for other projects as they were so good even after 12 years or more all the ones I have looked at were still solid structure.

Mine has gone porous and throwing oil around the top bend. I've got the new intercooler pipe in silicone now, to match the top hose!
