Intercooler pipe routing
The engine bay of my 200tdi is a bit of a catalogue of bodge jobs that I am working my way though as I get the chance.

Whilst looking to refit the snorkel I checked for watertightness of the pipes and it was not good. One major problem was that the pipe from inlet to air filter could not really make it past the intercooler pipe and as such has been squashed and ultimately perished. I think the intercooler pipe may be either wrong or fitted incorrectly.

Does anyone have a pic of how it should be? The lower turbo to intercooler metal pipe.

Mine:

That is correct looking intercooler pipe and positioning looks right too. Does air filter box rotate? Is that not a td (19j) air filter housing? Cheers

There is not enough room to connect the inlet pipe to the air filter without it squashing up against the intercooler pipe. Feels like I need another 20mm of space.

Air filter housing is this:

I think that is the correct one but the mounting cage does seem to have been moved and not sure of the angle.

Can you attach pipe with mounting clips undone? Ie does it rotate? Yes that is correct filter housing. Are intercooler pipes in correct orientation? Cheers

You seem to be missing the elbow on the airbox intake. This would move the flexi hose joint further back and away from the lower intercooler pipe.

Turns out the previous owner had just done a rubbish job of installing the pipe. Loosened all the jubilee clips and rotated it and it fits a treat now, plenty of room for the inlet pipe.
Will still need the elbow which I will order.
Thanks for the help Thumbs Up
