PD160 Intake question

**jueshen** · 19-02-2009, 01:02 AM

Hi All,

for those of you who have the pd160 intake on a pgti have you have any coolant leaks? the intake does touch the coolant pipes in 2 places, 1 is protected by rubber and the other one is not

apparently friction and heat causes 1 of the pipes to burst

For the those that are unaware the PD 160 is the SEAT intake. Mate I have yet to install one myself so I cannot officially commet but I was unaware that there is any problem with them. However I have just installed a Forge TIP and that definately sits flush up against a coolant pipe. Is this by any chance what you actually mean?

I'm glad someone answered that one. I didn't feel like being the tool that asked "Duh what's a PD 160"?

I'm interested to hear the findings on this one.

I know exactly what you mean - I was worried about this too, but I think it would take years/thousands of ks for the SEAT intake to wear the coolant pipe thin enough to leak. Anyway, to be safe I wrapped the pipe in a bit of the spiral plastic sleeve used to bind computer leads. You can buy this at hardware places (eg Bunnings in Aus).
