Need tech advice (intercooler pump)
I have to replace my intercooler pump. I bought the updated model ending in 10.
Since I can't get at the ears on the hose clamps (they're straight up) I will have to cut the hoses. The question is : Do I have to replace those hoses with braided ones or will standard unbraided ones fill the bill. I can't believe the pressure is that high but thought I'd ask.
Second question: Will the old "02" connecter plug into the new "10" Bosch model.
Lastly: I dropped the whole splash pan but not the passenger side plastic panel. Does that make it any easier to get the clamps off?
