    S3 intercooler install Brisbane

    Does anyone know of anywhere in Brisbane that installs the S3 intercooler and won't cost an arm and a leg?

    Thanks in advance.

    Mike webber prestige did my eurojet cooler install, was around $300-$350 from memory. Can't imagine the s3 being too much different.
    Give them a call.

    Don't you just cut a bit of the old piping off and attach the S3 intercooler with new bolts? Even $200 would be a pretty good wage for that...

    Bit more to it than just that. The whole front end has to come off to get old cooler out then install the new one. Your looking at 3hrs work!

    3-4 hour job - I think VW's book time is ~ 6 hours (they degas the AC - we dont)

    Had a chat to Mike yesterday and he said it would take around the 3/3.5 mark so going to go ahead and order it of ECS tonight.

    Brendan I remember you saying you needed some extra bolts and clamps for the install, you don't happen to have them written down do you?

    Mate, when I get home tonight I'll post them up for you. Good to hear your getting one

    The bolts you want are m6x1 20mm long and you need 9 of. And two 2.5" hose clamps.
