Intercooler: Description and Operation

Charge Air System


The charge air pipe clamps must be tightened to 5.5 Nm. An insufficient or excessive tightening torque can cause the charge air hose to come off the charge air pipe while driving.

• Hose connections and charge air system hoses must be free of oil and grease before installing. The sealing ring and sealing surfaces must only be lightly oiled with the connector couplings. Refer to => [ Charge Air Hose and Pipe, Disconnecting and Connecting ] Charge Air Hose and Pipe, Disconnecting and Connecting.

• Install only approved clamps for securing hose connections.

• The charge air system must be properly sealed.

• Use spring-type clip pliers to install spring clips.
