Turbo to intercooler hose leak

My grandsons 2005 TDI Passat has a hole in the hose going from the turbo to the piping going across the front of the car to the intercooler. The car goes into limp mode. Is it safe to drive it like this until I can get a hose and replace it? Also does anyone know if this is the correct hose?https://www.ebay.com/itm/VW-Passat-...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649
Thanks in advance

Nobody have any idea if he drives it in limp mode if it will hurt the car? He just puts on about 100 miles a day. Also will that hose off of ebay work for now he just works at sonic and can not afford a 2 to 3 hundred dollar hose from dealer.

Hey dude...a charge pipe hose leak equals over spooling of the turbo. Not good. I dont know how bad the leak is but the worse it is the more gutless the motor is.

The one from the turbo to the metal cross over pipe should be 3B0 145 828K. Genuine VW runs $250-$300. Some have used 3B0 145 828G with slightly less power and some noise. It doesn't have the baffle. ECStuning sells an aftermarket version of the G hose. Depending on how bad the hole is and where, a split piece of radiator hose and a few screw hose clamps might get you by until you can get a new one. I wouldn't run it in limp mode a lot.

I have a similar problem and will probably look at fixing it with some high grade foil duct tape. Stuff will stick to anything, even wet. Only trouble being it is obviously spraying a fine mist of oil and is a PITA to find while the car is not running.

Has anyone swapped over the BHW in a passat successfully to a more solid pipe system, try 2.5 inch?

Seems to me for 300 bucks one could upgrade with used oem dsm or other similar factory turbo system(intercooler) a long with eBay parts (intercoolers, elbows, t clamps, tubing and make an upgraded system. Obviously adapting the intake on the manifold as well as turbo will be the biggest hurtle. Fitting a used fmic like an evo or eve ln a cheap ebay fmic would not cost much. Plenty of Honda guys are off loading their blown up turbo kits/parts on Craigslist all the time.

Im just not sure if it will hurt the tune or require a tweak to the tune.

When i put one or my extra bhw motors in a boat im obviously ditching the factory charge pipe and smic system anyway.

I believe there have been a few conversions to fmic. One might have been Darkside. Obviously on the boat you can incorporate something different into your overall design. In our cars there isn't much room. The one I recall did not have fog lights. As far as the turbo, remember it's an ecu controlled variable vane. There are some other options.

Check out my thread. It's not a hard thing to remove and tape.

Ok, so I'm seeing the main problem here.
It looks like the 3B0 145 828 G is being advertised and sold as the 3B0 145 828 K! The K has this baffle part on it that sticks out and looks altogether different than the non-baffled end of the G. I'll post pics in a following message.

Pics. The G is the one with the "1 year warranty." The K is the correct part with the bigger end.

If any of you with blown hoses want to sell me one I need it. The metal retaining clips at the turbo end wore through on mine.

I used the G type. No detectable difference in power or noise. Very detectable difference in cost. Be sure and relocate the ground cable that rubbed a hole in the air hose in the first place.

Several years ago I could order the G from VW dealer at $100 cost savings. Mine did allow a little more turbo noise than the K version.

Unfortunately the dealer said they could not get the G anymore

Well back from vacation and installed turbo to intercooler hose and also have the hose from the air box to the turbo bad. looks like the last person to work on this did not install the bolts in the flange that helps hold the hose to the turbo, neck broke off at turbo hose. I have searched and searched and can not seem to find hose 8D0 129 615K anybody know a replacement number?

It looks like hose 3B0-129-615-M has replaced the 3D0 129 615K hose!

3B0 129 615M replaces 8D0 129 615 K and is the air box to turbo hose. BTW when the rear crossover pipe to intake flap hose blew on mine I got an aftermarket from Germany and It's been on for around 3yrs and 40K miles with no issues. I did use a genuine VW o-ring with it. It was through eBay. The eBay store is you.s.onlineshop. YMMV.
