How to repair the intercooler feed pipe of the Opel Insignia

Model: Vauxhall Insigna Insigna A, MK 1 - Years 2008-2017
Part: Checks and maintenance

In this video, we can see how to repair the intercooler pipe of the Opel Insignia, with pipe code 134173441 for the 1.6 CDTI 120 or 136 HP engine. Generally, the pipe is damaged in the throttle valve clamping system, and this kit consists of a pipe, two collars, and a metal pipe. The original pipe must be cut with a cutter, making a precise cut to avoid pieces of plastic going into the intercooler pipe. We will insert the reinforced pipe with the help of lubricant, and with the help of a rubber mallet, while the purpose of the metal pipe is to reinforce the original pipe, which - by tightening it with the collars - would be constricted. These simple tools can also be obtained separately, but for those who want to purchase the complete kit, they can find the references on youtube.
