Hi all
As i have a split in the intercooler pipe (coming up from the intercooler by the washer bottle) I am looking to gain access to the pipe to replace.
How on earth do I achieve this? Was thinking of removing the washer bottle to gain access. In which case, how do I remove that?

If there is a better way to access the pipe, I'd be hugely grateful if someone can steer me in the right direction.

Thanks all

Danny

I haven't had to change the intercooler pipe, but for best access to the front and offside of the engine, raise the car, remove the engine undertray, the front offside wheel and the front offside wheel arch liner. It's held by several stews which are fairly obvious after removing the wheel. The washer pump can be disconnected from the bottom of the bottle after removing those panels and the bottle fixing points will also be apparent.

In the end I decided to remove the bumper and access the intercooler that way. Am glad I did as it wasn't as complicated as I thought.
Accessed the pipe and easily replaced 👍👍
