Introduction
An air hose may be leaking, a replacement of this can be carried out simply.
Replacing an air hose on a 1.6 TDI
-
-
Open the hood
-
Remove the engine cover
-
the hose that interests us is located just outside the air box (which you will know how to locate if you have already changed the air filter!!)
-
-
-
First, I advise you to disconnect the differential pressure sensor. You will be more comfortable then.
-
Then, a first tapping. The small flexible hose can be easily removed with a flat screwdriver (2nd photo).
-
The second tapping is removed by pinching the connection. No difficulty, it comes off by itself.
-
-
-
The trickiest part of this operation: unscrewing the hose clamp on the turbo side. This can be done with a 7mm socket mounted on a universal joint.
-
The other side of the hose is a classic circlip which you can remove with a pair of multi-grip pliers.
-
Once the two ends are separated, wiggle the hose a little to free it from the turbo inlet and the air box outlet. It comes off easily too.

-
The classic comparison of parts: same diameter of hoses, same length, same connection... And same reference!
-
-
-
Simply do it in reverse order:
-
engage the hose on both sides,
-
tighten the collar with the 7mm socket on one side and the circlip on the other
-
Reconnect the taps
-
Reconnect the pressure sensor
-
A simple operation that is within everyone's reach, as long as you are a little patient and careful!
