Hi there,
My car is a 2001 1.4 TDi 75bhp - remapped (to 100bhp ish, apparently!)
I've just had it confirmed in the workshop I use that my intercooler needs replacing!
I see there are some cheap options, (around the £63 mark) on ebay - are there any particular ones to avoid, or are they all similar?
I've not checked direct with Audi yet, but I'm assuming they'll be a bit pricier - and still, from what I've read, prone to the same failures.
I've seen there's an alloy intercooler that's had a few group buys on here, but can't justify that, even if there was one available!
Are there any other bits I should have replaced at the same time? Hoses, etc?
I saw someone here used silicon hoses - is a set available from somewhere?
Also, there are a few other bits I need to get - is there some kind of online parts catalogue for Audi?
I've always used realoem for BMW, which makes it really easy to look at a diagram and get the part numbers!
If not, I shall go to the Audi dealer and describe my way through some bits!!!
Cheers,
Rob.
