Hi all,

Noticed a slight loss of power on my A3 tdi 130 53 plate.

checked under the bonnet and noticed the intercooler pipe clip is broken and when i put it back in it keeps popping back out when driving. Does anyone know where i can purchase a pipe or know a part number? I have been told this is a common problem but cant find a part?

Thanks a lot

 There should be a number on the pipe itself,get a new pipe because the lugs wear off,a new clip and new seals,then before you fit clean where the pipe is going to fit into with some brake or clutch cleaner type solution,the pipes are purchase from Trade parts specialists or the dealers

vag part numbers will be something like 6k0 957 663h gru

that is not a part number that is what i have made but i should be arranged something like that  

 Yep as leach said they wear out over time mate. They will go back together temporarily, but when you start to boot it, it will come apart again.

Thanks a lot guys
