Same thing happened to me..I put new orings and clips and cleaned the hoses w carb cleaner to get rid of any grease and they have been solid

Ibanezgod

uhg... i put some oil on the O Ring this time... thought it would help seal it. That's probably what did it. I made the clip much tighter, but should have put a zip tie around it to make it even more tight. Wish there was a way to fix it without having to take the bumper off. I've taken my rear off 3-4 times already... I'm getting tired of doing this lol

Either of you know the part number for the O Ring? Best i just replace them.

Based on what I see it's 99610680106.

$4.15 each at Sonnen.

Ibanezgod

thanks, so i will do this again... hopefully for the last time in a while. Btw I called my local dealer Ray Catena and they wanted $11/ea. Was able to talk them down to $6.50 each. Not bad.

99610680106 (orings..new ones are green) paid $6 ea at ecs tuning
99710680205 (u clamps) paid $3 ea

Ibanezgod

so annoyed I put oil on the O Ring... think this is the first time I ever heard of lubricating an O Ring being a bad thing

i also am a complete tool, i found out my O2 sensors are covered by fidelity warranty, and i did them myself. Glad i did it, but still... could have saved a headache.

They are covered if you have error codes

I did not have any codes or would have had them do mine too.

Ibanezgod

i had error codes.

live and learn. I do it a lot

Ibanezgod

haha it's water under the bridge. I don't have a stock exhaust and a tune so they may not have covered it anyways.

Ibanezgod

Figured id share hopefully my last boost hose fix. I believe the new O ring really helped. And removing the boost hose from the Y pipe rather than trying to press the intercooler intake onto the rubber Y pipe hose while it was still attached to the car.

You can see the O Ring that slipped off, that damn whoooshing sound was back with the CEL. Total loss of power.

You can also see the new O-ring (green) that is smaller and less worn out than the old black one. I'm sure the black is the original.

I missed a beautiful day to go for a drive, but finally got this all finished and the car is back to 100%, no CEL and tons of power.

All better with a little helper too

good news...your like me..must have pulled the rear bumper off ten times in the last month. Had to do it again because i forgot to connect the license plate harness

Ibanezgod

i'm at least all-pro at it now. I think my gf knows how to take it off no questions asked too. I have a built in laser jammer to my license plate bracket and had to build a wire connector harness to plug and unplug each time too. So it's a two person job. Really hoping this is the last time... until I upgrade the intercoolers.

saabin

Heh, I'm now to the point I can do it myself, although I just have the license plate late to deal with..

You have jammer connections in front and back?

Ibanezgod

yes i do. I'm just hoping my connectors in the rear are working. When I first took off the bumper the jammer installer hard wired it through the rear light and through the bumper via a hole behind the license plate. Stupid design and had to cut the wire and put one of these doohickeys on to make it detachable when removing the bumper since the custom plate obviously can't go through the bumper
