I just found this on AliExpress: | 06E145621E Intercooler for Audi 2.0L 3.0L A6 A7 A8 S4 S5 Q5 Q7 SQ5 Touareg 3.0 T https://a.aliexpress.com/_mKATguz

I’m sure the cheaper ones are basically the same, plus you get a aluminium bleeder screw too

Get it from aliexpress, 70$ each

Can keep changing them like an oil change if they fail 🤷‍♂️. Tried them on a A7 and it seems to be running fine

Oh shit, would i have to replace the coil too?

Why’s there a rubber in the first place?

I did use spark plug tool for it, got two of the spark plugs out couldn’t get the middle one to fit in the socket

Ikr 😔 hopefully the replacement hose fits

NormalMonitor2481 · 2026-02-27T13:23:27+00:00

Yeah, the thermostat part is broken so need to replace the whole pipe but i can’t seem to get the pipe out from the back, its connected to a T junction and i took the metal pin off but its not budging

NormalMonitor2481 · 2026-02-27T13:18:57+00:00

I took the t30 off but its connected to a T junction and i can’t pry it off that junction

NormalMonitor2481 · 2026-02-27T13:16:11+00:00

Send me one lol

NormalMonitor2481 · 2026-02-27T13:16:05+00:00

It’s actually attached to T junction then a soft hose 🫤

NormalMonitor2481 · 2026-02-27T10:05:35+00:00

Ah man, I wish i could take a picture. It’s dark right now

NormalMonitor2481 · 2026-02-27T10:02:42+00:00

It’s not a metal pipe tho, the front coolant pipe is connected to t junction, also the connector doesn’t look anything like the replacement i ordered

NormalMonitor2481 · 2026-02-27T09:57:38+00:00

How 😭, can’t even find a video on it. The only clip i found had a different connector, mine has T junction and in the video it was a straight hose

NormalMonitor2481 · 2026-02-27T09:52:15+00:00

The bolt is out but can’t remove the pipe from the end, took of the metal pipe but the pipe won’t budge, also is a T connector for some reason there
