• Fitment issues from using a non-molded replacement hose

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the hose position before installation: this part is for the pipe to intercooler hot-side location on 2005-2006 Volkswagen Jetta applications. Compare the inside diameter and centerline length to the original hose, and inspect adjoining clamps, pipes, and intercooler necks for wear before reassembly. Confirm the routing matches the molded shape of the original part number 26472.
