Just wanted to say mate this video was a huge help to me and thanks for showing how that top clip worked. It make it so easy to see what I needed to do.
anyone looking for how to remove the trim around the fog light off, this is how you do it: put masking ( painter's ) tape around the trim on the car's bumper. then grab a trim removing tool or a palette knife and insert it on the left side of the trim ( apply little pressure to disengage the clips and at the same time apply slight prying pressure towards yourself to only take the left side of the trim ( only ) out of the retaining clips and about a centimetre out of its position so you have enough space between the left side of the trim and bumper so to put your fingers under the trim and grab hold of it. at this point all you need to do is to slide the trim to left in a sudden but careful move and the whole thing will come out ( but be careful not to do too much of a force in your sudden sliding move because while the trim is sliding out, you will end up scratching your car's bumper even through the masking tape. I recommend at least two layers of masking tape on the bumper on the left side of the trim and in a larger area.
I have a model year 2012. What bewildered me was the connecting ring that was completely different at the bottom. It does not come up with a jubilee clamp but a spring hose clamp. I really had a hard time figuring out how to dissemble and mount the lower part of the pipe. After one day of scrutiny, it was actually kind of easy. Dismounting the lower part of the pipe is relatively easy. All you have to do is to twist the complete pipe downwards. You could use some force to pull out the pipe but you could also extend the spring clamp outwards to disconnect the pipe. Replacing the pipe into a new one was a little trickier. My pipe was delivered with the elbow completely separated from the clamp. Mounting the clamp into the correct position was a real pain. I had to refer to my old pipe and the boxing to position the clamp into the right position. All in all, the clamp should be able to rotate upwards and downwards. If you twist the pipe downwards, while the ring stays at its position, you will notice that the ring gets extended outwards. If you twist the pipe upwards while the ring stays at its position, the ring will tighten the pipe. Before mounting the lower part of the pipe, make sure that the upper part is first mounted. There is a reason for this. While the upper part is already mounted, it would guide the lower part a proper directional force. Believe me, you will need to know the proper direction of pushing the lower part of the pipe in. Otherwise, you would be wasting your energy in mounting the pipe properly. For the lower part of the pipe, you need extend the ring at its maximum. You need to twist the pipe all the way down, while the clamp remains its position. Without the ring to be extended to its maximum, the spaces for mounting the pipe with the intercooler wouldn't match very well. The clamp has 3(if I remember correctly) hooks. Theses hooks are very important to make the pipe be well connected to the intercooler. Believe me, it was a pain to make sure these hooks were connected for both the pipe and the intercooler. You do need to push hard to make these hooks connected to the intercooler. I did have a cling sound once all of the hooks were on the trail of the intercooler. Once this is done you can now move on to twist the ring upwards to completely lock the clamp. Hope my comments would be of any help to those who have a model later than 2011.
Oh wow. I'm actually impressed with the trim removal to get access to that boost hose. To get to mine on my land rover I need to remove the entire bumper
Hi, I have replace 2 of those in my galaxy. Only last about 6-8k miles and its stretching like old condom, making engine to behave like there is a hole in the intake, and then it blow up in least expected moment. I bought silicon one for about 45 quid and its so much better 👍
Hi. My 2litre diesel came up with a service light. When. Pluged in it showed 'Engine control - 1C6 / Diesel EDC 17C18/19P2282 - Air mass meter. Error Message : Malfunction.P2459 - Particulate filter regeneration. Error Message : Regeneration frequency implausible.Found above faults logged' anyway they changed air mass sensor and 40miles later same message. The message comes up when I drive up hill then I lose power as though it's a pull/drag. Any ideas please
@@patafterhours6172 I worked it out took pipe apart, used fairy liquid on seals and started at the bottom connect bend to intercooler, then connected top of pipe with the funny clip then joined them both together tighten down with jubilee clip easiest way of doing it, rather than faffing trying to manoeuvre the whole pipe
@@patafterhours6172 thanks pat. I have a 2014 insignia ecoflex cdti. It losses power when accelerating up a hill and makes it difficult to over take. Ive not taken off my intercooler pipe and hard to see if any cracks. I have orderd a new one I hope this fixes the power loss
No, that was my idea but there is a metal frame/ bar in the way. Also the bolt to loosing the clip is on the top of the pipe. I got the cover off quickly.
@@hamgammonable well I did it without taking fog lamp trim off, jacked it from underneath. Hardest part was breaking off metal clip but was finally able to cut it off .

Happy to hear that mate.
@@patafterhours6172 Where can I get the Jubilee clip that you have used for the plastic u Bend Pipe i can not find it anywhere?

Had mine fitted a few months ago,there is a cut out under car,behind bottom tray so you can get your hand in
thanks for the video, it helped me to replace the hose on my opel and now she runs like a charm again also thanks for tips in comments
Glad you found it helpful mate.

Then keep your fingers crossed mate, so far so good if it will blow up then I will try something else :)

I bought new hose from Thermotec for 20€,its holding just fine
Thanks mate, mine is doing the job until now :) I did about 2k miles so far :)
Thankyou for the video, very helpful. Up the saints
You must miss me so you came here at least to listen to my doggy accent 😂
How do you get the bottom bend clamp in place on intercooler, you said it’s a pain 😀 it’s a nightmare any tips
I remember using grips to hold it tight 🤣 wasn't easy but can be done. Last week I was doing wheel hub bearing that was more of the fun 😂
@@patafterhours6172 I worked it out took pipe apart, used fairy liquid on seals and started at the bottom connect bend to intercooler, then connected top of pipe with the funny clip then joined them both together tighten down with jubilee clip easiest way of doing it, rather than faffing trying to manoeuvre the whole pipe
Seems like you guys had fun 😂
Wish me luck doing mine 🙏
Kolego jak ci sie ta rure na dole udalo zalozyc/?Jak gleboko ona wchodzi w intercooler?U mnie wypada .Nie mozna jej skutecznie osadzic.
Pamiętam że używałem pump pliers żeby je dociągnąć
Can a crack in this pipe cause an overboost code?
Yupp, just did to mine. P0069 error code
Hi, how did you transpose the elbow over with the existing clip?
I just cut the old one off and put new jubilee clip bought out of eBay
@@patafterhours6172 I also cut the old one off but ran the Stanley knife across my thumb in the process
What was the name of that song on the radio
It was a CD, ruclips.net/video/BULYCZtLvS8/видео.html
Danke für das video
Why did you change intercooler pipe what was the issue
It has a crack, usually it causing loss of power and limp mode.
@@patafterhours6172 thanks pat. I have a 2014 insignia ecoflex cdti. It losses power when accelerating up a hill and makes it difficult to over take.
Ive not taken off my intercooler pipe and hard to see if any cracks. I have orderd a new one I hope this fixes the power loss
Southampton? Give us a hand to put that bottom clip on please bro 😂😂😂
Hahaha, sorry mate I just checked the comments 🤣 it's a bitch to put it back innit!?
Just come across this and saw you’re in Southampton.
How much you want to swap mine over?
Instead of taking off fog lamp trim it's it possible to just Jack up the car instead to do the job ?
No, that was my idea but there is a metal frame/ bar in the way. Also the bolt to loosing the clip is on the top of the pipe. I got the cover off quickly.
