Turbocharger Air Intake Hose: Service and Repair

Charge Air Pipe/Hose, Connecting






• Before testing or performing a repair, check all charge air pipes and hoses and all vacuum lines for leaks and secure seating.

• The hose connections as well as the charge guide pipes and hoses must be free of oil and grease before installing.

• Secure hose connections with standard production clamps. Refer to Parts Catalog.

• In order to be able to securely mount the charge air hoses on their connectors, spray the screws on the previously used clamps with a rust remover.

The clamps - A - on the charge air hoses must be tightened to the aforementioned specification. Refer to => [ Installing the Charge Air Hoses and Screw Type Clamps ]. An insufficient or excessive tightening torque can cause the charge air hose to come off the charge air pipe while driving.
