Hose Kit needed

[chrissy1502002]

Ok so the cupra is at Portsmouth Audi, and i just cant beleive the problem. It has a split boost hose coming out of the intercooler.

now the car has got a forge SMIC using the original standard hoses, and Audi dont have any hoses resembling it, and also samco are saying it will take over 2 weeks for their kit to get to me.

So if any one has any suggestions, please help as i dont really want the car to be sat in Audi for 2 weeks for something as simple as this

Many thanks

Chris

I hope you have tryed forge before you posted this?

Sorry, Forge are saying that they dont do any hose fits for their SMIC. The only other supplier that i have found is Samco but their saying just over 2 weeks wait!

Seat can get a standard part in over night so maybe not a total loss

weird, i thought forge would of done somthing

Only other thing i could suggest if you wanted to 'uprate' the part would be to find out exactly what you want and see whats on offer on the bay, although the quality may not be as good as you would get from forge/samco.

mate it will prbably be a bend of some sort that you can replace with a 'universal' silicone hose from forge. For example a 45 degree reducing bend in 63mm to 51. You need to get your hands on the split hose and measure it to see what you need. Maybe you need 2 90 degree bends with an alloy pipe inbetween.
could be many things but post a pic of it or measure it yourself and you'll be sorted for a couple of quid.

I reckon forge could match it, they were proberly just unsure exactly what hose you where talking about.

why not buy a standard on from a scrap yard or ebay and fit that while you wait for your uprated one?

thats what I thinkl. In all fairness universal hoses from forge can pretty much match anything; like said earlier maybe you'll need 2 hoses and join them with a piece of alloy or something, but its just a matter of comparing and measuring oem and buy whats needed.
