[s-cars] Phenolic spacers & turbo h2o feed line

[Sean Douglas]

Brian:

I just replaced that exact hose under the IM, it's a PITA to get to with the
IM in place, but doable. I replaced the t-stat cover and the associated
coolant hose as well.

To get more access, remove the upper boost hose and disonnect the MFTS plug.
It helps to have a flexible 7 mm nut driver to get to the clamps.

The hose in question does have a part number, its N 020 262 1, cut to 160 mm
long. SJM sells it along with 2 new clamps for $14. I would not use generic
hose, this is not something you want to do twice.

There is also a small hose that runs to the t-stat housing that is worth
doing while you are there.

Cheers,

Sean
