Good to see another SW member, you will need to double check you have the correct bottom hose as per this FAQhttp://www.306gti6.com/forum/showthread.php?id=50379 |

Yes, as long as you have the later style bottom hose with the metal spring clip it will fit straight on.If you don't have it, the pipe itself is only around £20 from Pug and easy to change. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |
