VW Golf VII Audi A3 Skoda Seat 1.2 / 1.4 TSI Intercooler Pipe Adapter 04E145875A

Product overview

A new plastic intercooler pipe adapter, also described as a turbocharger pipe bracket, for 1.2 and 1.4 litre TSI/TFSI engines in the Volkswagen Group range. It is referenced to OE-reference numbers 04E145875A and 04E145875F. These small connectors are prone to cracking from heat and boost pressure, which can cause boost leaks, a hissing sound under load, reduced power and fault codes.

Vehicle compatibility

The listed fitment data contains 170 rows. Examples include the VW Golf VII and Golf VII Variant 1.2 and 1.4 TSI (2012–2021), Golf Sportsvan, Polo V 1.2 TSI, Tiguan 1.4 TSI, Passat B8 1.4 TSI, Scirocco III, CC and Caddy IV; the Audi A3, A3 Limousine and Q3 1.4 TFSI and the A5 Sportback 1.4 TFSI; the Skoda Fabia III, Octavia III and Superb III; and the Seat Leon, Leon ST and Ibiza IV. Gas-fuelled TGI and MultiFuel versions also appear. Although the listing marks this as universal, it is a model-specific part. Confirm by OE-reference number or VIN before ordering.

Technical specifications

Installation requirements

Access is usually from beneath the engine after removing the undertray. Release the hose clamps or clips, remove the cracked adapter and press the new one into place with fresh seals if required. A capable home mechanic can do this, but a workshop can also smoke-test the intake for leaks afterwards. Clear any boost-related fault codes once fitted.

Fitment checks before ordering

Pipe connectors vary between engine codes. Please check the number moulded into your existing adapter or send us your VIN to confirm fitment before buying.
