[Engine] Air intake pipe losen

[SergioFR]

I open this thread due to a simple repair witch i hope that helps you.
On my partner 1.6hdi the air pipe was always losen i put tape and bracelet how ever i did another solution.
So i drill two holes, one on each edge of the 1st section pipe and then i hold with thread plastic rivets it was a better solution as you can see in the pictures.
I thougt in put normal metalic rivets but i was afraid of damaging the pipe.


Step by step:
1-take out the pipe;
2- use drill bit n 4 until n6 iuse the rivets with 6mm;
       

3- install the pipe
       

I hope that it helps you bevause i already get a lot of from this forum

[jj9]

That's much better, we can see clearly what you have done.

The air pipes on these vehicles are rather poor and they fall apart, I sure other forum members will use your idea.

Thank you.

Looks like a good fix. Where did you get the rivets from?

[SergioFR]

So rivets are suit for trim doors and you can see on the link it´s like nº9, is a screew rivet you push to get in and to get out you have to unscrew it.

I by in local store it´s for mini/bmw, the diameter is 6mm. If you use 8mm also it will work....

The pink hammer is from the "girl who walks at home", my wife is very useful.
