So I've been having some issues with my intake hose and intercooler hose popping off lately.

I fixed the intake using a modified dog collar.

But the other day the upper intercooler hose popped off behind the headlight. i took it all apart and saw the coupling for the hour.had a nub partially sheared and the intercooler hose flip attachment was cracked.. i connected it back up and a day later popped.off again. Obviously it will no longer hold.


Im going to try a modified collar on this joint as well since locating new pieces is difficult and very expensive.

Is this a common occurance or could i be having an underlying issue Im not aware of.
About 2 months ago i was in a small accident thatsomeone hit my drivers side fender and bumper at 35mph. could this have caused the issues?

There are just too many to list....
Seen plenty of issues where it goes into the engine, never one down at the intercooler. It is likely your accident caused some problems.
