I have noticed considerable blow-by from around my charged air hoses, especially where they are clamped to other (straight) pipes as well as where the last bent one attaches to the turbo, so tomorrow I'm going to start a hose replacement. I have been able to find only the one that is a 90 degree one at this time (haven't searched long and hard so I know they are out there) that attaches from the charged air cooler (or oil cooler? which is attached in piggy back style to the radiator?). I found it at www.fcpgroton.com (in the 850 section, though my car is a S70). I want to take the old one off and do a thorough cleaning of the opening of the outlet as well as the pipe the hose attaches to. Can someone recommend a good degreaser that won't be damaging to rubber that I can buy ?
