Boost Pipe Part Numbers

[Jayton]

To help resolve my boost loss, I loaded up a certain program and located the boost pipes for my engine code (AUY) and labelled the part numbers to the boost pipes, along with cost - prices may vary and most likely now cost 2.5% more ;)

 

It's only a quick job and only the pipes & intercooler have been labelled, when I get more time I'll do the rest, but they're only bolts, washers, hose clips (use jubilee instead if you want) etc.

 

I was quite shocked at the price of these pipes... :)

and it's typical that I have the AUY engine with more expensive parts :)

 

Hope this helps someone else!

 

 

 

EDIT: file now attached, doh!

if battery has been leaking due to being knackered it drips acid onto boost pipe plastic and eats a hole into it worth a look

[Jayton]

Thanks, I'll check the hoses on the battery side of the engine bay.

 

It's quite odd, because it doesn't always happen and more so when the engine is cold.

Got to stay in on Sunday for a delivery (Curry's deliver on a Sunday?!) so will have a look then :)

Battery acid will not make holes in plastic - so unless it's a metaqllic pipe that won't be the cause.

Any tips on how to check for leaks at home without a boost leak smoke kit?

oh yes it does the pipe from intercooler up to inlet manifold which is black was white off acid and a hole burnt into it i believe its polycarbonate ive got it somewhere ill foto it and upload to prove it

The battery I got with the car was quite old! Wasn't secured either, just sitting 'loose' :wacko: It was also pretty dead, so got replaced at the end of October.

 

Pretty sure it wasn't leaking, but always worth a check! :)
