hi guys quick question for you, what pipe are you lot running off from the turbo that goes under the car to the first bend towards the intercooler? Mines still the standard plastic Crap and it keeps popping off. Bloody thing I know! If anyone could help cheers!

Sort out your font choice there bud, it's barely readable lol.
The 306 doesn't have an intercooler from the factory, so that won't be a standard pipe. If it keeps coming off try a new hi-grip jubilee; i'm guessing you've tried tightening the old one..?

im using the c5 pipe, there are only two pipes you can really use, the 110 hdi one or the c5 2.2 hdi one. They are both plastic though?

Yeah I've got a intercooler clamp on it, the one you do up with a 10mm and a jubilee on it as well

Ok so whichever one keeps failing is the one you need to replace.

Make sure your silicone bend is the right diameter as if it isnt it wont get a great grip I would say.
