Intake Hose Clamps

[RainyDay]

Hi guys. I'm installing an aftermarket intake on my 2022 Ibiza so I can get a slightly more aggressive sound. But I want to be able to reinstall the stock airbox and piping before service appointments.

I've been told the stock hose clamps are the kind that cannot be placed back on if removed and that they will snap off.

I was wondering if this is indeed the case? If yes are the OEM hose clamps available for purchase? And how would I go about installing them? As in what tool would I need?

Another solution is to use worm type clamps when I reinstall the stock intake but then they will see it's not an OEM part and I'm wondering if that could lead to warranty issues.

Thanks in advance

The clamps are for multiple use. No problem!

Thank you . Before I jump under the bonnet, any tips for how to take them off? Are they the kind that will snap off and require a tool to place back on, or are they just a circular spring? If the latter, they won't lose tension upon being squeezed open will they? Apologies if the questions seem silly as I haven't much experience with this

I have two hose clamp pliers, one straight an one angled. It will keep the clamp open (expanded). The clamp will grip again 100 times!

You could use any one of those two in this case, see pick.

Do you have a polygrip? If "yes"try it.

I'm guessing the pliers in your photo are lockable? I do have a ply grip but I'm worried it might be difficult getting it in there as it's ever so slightly tucked away. Might just go pick up hose clamp pliers to make my life easier. Thanks for your help man, really appreciate it

They are lockable.
