Charge Air Cooler Overview

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Volkswagen GTI and 2008 Volkswagen GTI. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

CAUTION:

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.
