Re: Blows intercooler pipe from throttle body Posted by notnoel [Email] (#23) [Profile/Gallery] (more from notnoel) on Sun, 14 Jan 2007 10:28:29 In Reply to: Re: Blows intercooler pipe from throttle body, Landjet [Profile/Gallery] , Sun, 14 Jan 2007 05:58:35 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I had the same problem - turning down the boost is NOT the answer. In my case, the problem originated because some previous person working on the car did not get the hose on straight and damaged the little rubber lip that you will see inside of the hose. You'll note that it lines up with a groove on the throttle body. If this lip is damaged,you mmay little choice but to order a new one ($48 from the stealership - highway robbery!). With all of the oil mist that normally flys around in there, I doubt cleaning is going to be effective. When you put it back on, make sure that it is entirely straight and flush with the throttle body, or it will just pop off again; particularly if you buy a new one.
