Hello!
I've got a '91 Pajero. Recently I've replaced a fuel filter and while removing the intercooler to do the job I noticed that there is a seal that inserts into intake manifold air hose. This inset seal looks like a rubber cylinder and is intended to seal the connection between the turbocharger and the hose that leads from the intercooler. When I disconnected the hose, I observed that this seal was torn and broken, but, unfortunately, I had to use it anyway when put everything back as I don't have a replacement.
Has anybody replaced this seal? Is there a similar product for local cars that would fit 4D56 air hose?
Thank you!

I am curious as to why you needed to remove the intercooler to change the fuel filter? I am sure Amazing Auto (Mardy) or CC Auto may be your best place to find the seal.

If you have dual batteries and fat fingers like I do it is easier with the intercooler removed. However I do not know what this seal is that he is looking for? From the description it sounds like he has a repaired hose, that is coming apart. If that is the case I would fix it immediately by replacing the hose from the turbo to the intercooler. If this hose is coming apart it is going to hopefully plug up the intercooler before it passes the rubber particles into the engine!!!!! I would not drive it till it is fixed.

The hose is not falling apart, that is what I'm sure about. Both of the hoses that go from intercooler had these insets. Looks like the seal I'm talking about cracked a quite some time ago. If you'd like to know what I'm talking about I can take a picture of it.

Anybody knows if the pajero/deli stores in town sell these intercooler-to-intake manifold air hoses?
