    2.7 Intercooler hose

    I recently replaced my split intercooler hose (drivers's side) on my 2011 D4 2.7. I can't stop it leaking oil from the bottom outlet. I've tightened the clamp bolt as much as I dare, I've repositioned it a couple of times, but oil keeps dribbling out after a couple of days.

    Any suggestions or tips?

    Is a new hose clamp an option?

    It comes with a new clamp. There's a lip on the intercooler pipe, and I'm just wondering if you have to clamp it in the prefect location/perfect distance from the lip to make it work.

    Think I've done it. Tighten clamp just past lip, don't push it all the way on.

    Two hose clips may sort it,one behind the other.
    Fit the worm drive of one at 180 degrees from the other if possible.
