Split Intercooler Pipe
« on: 21 September 2020, 08:08:24 PM »
Hi All

I took the car out earlier, it is currently smelling a bit fumey on startup, today there was a visible puff of exhaust/gas from under the bonnet. My initial thoughts were that the flexicoupling on the exhaust is going, The sounds I am hearing when the car is moving seem similar and seem to be getting worse although not as noisy as the last time it happened. However, I had a quick look under the bonnet after getting home in limp mode and I spotted a plit intercooler hose.

Could any of you folks recommend a good hose to get that I can get delivered quickly, preferably with the jubilee clips with the hose. I can see loads on ebay/amazon but I don't know whether they could be trusted.

Is there anything I should be wary of if I change it myself, or will this be relatively straightforward?

58 Saab 9-3 Aero 1.9 TTiD

DO88 are good pipes.  www.partsforsaabs.com keep them.  Looks like the DO88 ones come in two parts.
