The first time apart and back together, it took 8-10 hours. Second time, all but for lifting the S/C was less than 4. Once I got it figures out, it was much easier.


Hope this helps.
2nd time!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'd shoot myself LOL. What happened?

The small, hooked end of the under S/C hose connects to the throttle body. A second small u-shaped hose connects the throttle body to the EGR. And yet another hose comes back to the front, connecting the EGR to a nipple at the top, front of the engine.

Not all that long ago this last hose sprung a leak near the aforementioned nipple. That made for two leaks on this single circuit of the cooling system within 6 months of each other. That said, I would recommend replacing all three hoses when chasing leaks in this area.

Hope this helps.

You have to wonder what time of the morning these Engineers start drinking pints. What a terrible design! ThanksBob for those Pics and I agree with the other member, second time I'd shoot myself and the car.

Hey RC

Thanks for posting the pics for the hose under the super charger, did you have a need for any special tools like a torqs bit or a swivel for close quarters? While I'm at it and to make only one trip to the dealer what other consumables did you need to finish the job?

I'm thinking about changing the oil in the charger @ the same time and any belts or whatever I find along the way. I will take advantage and change the other knock senser. I already have one sitting on the intake now. LOL
