Turbo Intercooler Hose Pipe Tube 8200981498

Product Overview

Turbo Intercooler Hose Pipe Tube 8200981498 covers the charge air circuit on Renault applications. The reference set on file is OEM 8200981498, which is the figure to quote when you send an enquiry. In service the part carries pressurised charge air between the turbocharger, the intercooler and the inlet manifold. When it fails it usually shows delamination where charge air temperature peaks and heat-hardened elbows, and the driver sees boost loss under load, limp mode and a measurable drop in charge pressure. It sits inside a cooling-system programme of more than 4000 types, so the same order can carry the neighbouring hoses, flanges and thermostat housings for the platform.

Key Benefits

• Aftermarket buyers, not one-off retail — Pricing and packing are set up for distributors and workshop chains buying by the carton, not for single-piece retail.
• One reference set on every document — OEM 8200981498 appears on the quotation, the packing list and the carton label, so a warehouse can check a delivery without opening the box.
• Consolidate the platform in one order — Hoses, flanges and thermostat housings for the same platform ship on one pallet, which shortens the paperwork and the freight bill.
• Tooling route for obsolete references — Where the reference is out of production, we develop the mould from the sample you supply rather than turning the enquiry away.

Application Scenarios

Mixed container for a distributor

A quarterly container is filled across families — intake, charge air, coolant and thermostat lines — to a single packing list. On this reference that means quoting 8200981498 with the quantity and letting the packing follow.

Scheduled cooling-system overhaul

The vehicle is in for a coolant leak and the workshop replaces the whole branch at once rather than chasing the next failure in a month. On this reference that means quoting 8200981498 with the quantity and letting the packing follow.

Warranty-expired fleet maintenance

A fleet past dealer coverage moves to independent supply and needs the same reference coverage at a working price. This reference, 8200981498, is bought for exactly that situation on Renault vehicles.

Who It Is For

• Fleet and bus operators — running Renault vehicles past warranty and buying cooling-system parts by the box to keep downtime short. What they need from 8200981498 is that it fits the Renault on the ramp today.
• Radiator and cooling specialists — rebuilding cooling systems and sourcing the hoses, flanges and housings for a platform in one go. For them 8200981498 is a line on a shelf, not a project.
• Exporters and consolidators — shipping mixed cooling-system pallets into Europe, the Middle East and South America. For them 8200981498 is a line on a shelf, not a project.

Problems It Solves

Split ordering

Sourcing one hose from one supplier and the matching flange from another doubles the freight and the paperwork for the same repair. With 8200981498 the check is the cuff diameters, the bend angle and the clamp or quick-connect style at each end, and it happens before despatch.

Parts that are no longer produced

When the original reference is dropped, the repair still exists. Sample-based production and mould development keep the line alive. With 8200981498 the check is the cuff diameters, the bend angle and the clamp or quick-connect style at each end, and it happens before despatch.

Returns from wrong fitment

Every returned part costs the freight twice. Checking the cuff diameters, the bend angle and the clamp or quick-connect style at each end before despatch is cheaper than a credit note. For Renault buyers it is the difference between a stocked line and a credit note on 8200981498.

Technical Features

The part serves the charge air circuit and carries pressurised charge air between the turbocharger, the intercooler and the inlet manifold. It is moulded in EPDM rubber, chosen because EPDM keeps its elasticity through repeated heat cycles and resists ozone, water and weathering, which makes it the workhorse wall compound for moulded engine-bay lines.

Specified where the part has to stay flexible over thousands of heat cycles rather than hold a fixed shape. EPDM hardens once it has been heat-cycled past its service window, so a replacement that has sat in a hot warehouse for years is not a bargain.

Specifications

Values marked TBC are not stated on the source catalogue. They are confirmed in writing on the quotation rather than estimated here.

Comparison With the Alternatives

Use Guide

1. Confirm the reference

   Match OEM 8200981498 against the number on the part you removed. Do not match on outline alone.

2. Check the interfaces

   Compare the cuff diameters, the bend angle and the clamp or quick-connect style at each end before the vehicle is stripped further.

3. Inspect on arrival

   Look for transit damage on sealing faces and connectors. EPDM hardens once it has been heat-cycled past its service window, so a replacement that has sat in a hot warehouse for years is not a bargain.

4. Fit with the original clamp style

   Reuse the clamp type the Renault platform was designed around, and fit any seal or O-ring supplied with 8200981498 rather than carrying the old one over.

5. Pressure check before handover

   Refill, bleed the circuit and check for blown cuffs at clamp joints at working temperature before the vehicle leaves.
