VW Turbocharger Intercooler Hose - Burgaflex 3C0145828K

Product Information

An intercooler hose is a crucial component of a vehicle’s forced induction system, typically found in turbocharged or supercharged engines. It connects the intercooler to the intake manifold or the turbocharger, allowing compressed air from the turbocharger to pass through the intercooler, where it is cooled before entering the engine. This cooling process helps improve engine performance and efficiency by increasing the density of the intake air.

• Loss of Boost Pressure: A damaged or leaking intercooler hose can lead to a significant loss of boost pressure, resulting in decreased engine performance and acceleration
• Visible Cracks or Damage: Inspecting the hose may reveal visible cracks, tears, or signs of wear. Damaged hoses can lead to air leaks and reduced efficiency.

About Burgaflex

The company Burgaflex was established October 1st 1984 by Mr van Gastel and Mr. van Tilburg, who were working at the former American company Stratoflex Inc. in Roosendaal. This company manufactured hydraulic/ automotive/aerospace hoses and fittings for numerous applications. Burgaflex Holland today, is still in the exact same spot as where the company was originally founded, in Etten-Leur - Holland. Through the years Burgaflex developed their own production facilities for hydraulic and airconditioning fittings and tubing. More and more requirements from manufacturers of original equipment in the field of airconditioning hoses and hose assemblies lead to a further development of the product range of Burgaflex. The hose program expanded with oil, heater and airbrake hoses. In 2010 the general management took over the Burgaflex companies to lead the company into a further worldwide growth. Today, Burgaflex is a specialist in the manufacture of flexible hose equipment for both hydraulic and air conditioning systems, serving the commercial and automotive industries. Burgaflex is original equipment manufacturer (OEM) for several car manufacturers, including Bentley, Mercedes, Spyker, Tesla, and Volvo Trucks.
