Turbo Intercooler Hose Pipe Tube 8200201617

Product Overview

Turbo Intercooler Hose Pipe Tube 8200201617 is a direct-reference replacement for the charge air circuit of Renault vehicles. It is listed here against OEM 8200688708 and 8200201617, so the part can be matched to a vehicle without guesswork. In service the part carries pressurised charge air between the turbocharger, the intercooler and the inlet manifold. When it fails it usually shows heat-hardened elbows and blown cuffs at clamp joints, 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

• Built for the duty of the charge air circuit — The part carries pressurised charge air between the turbocharger, the intercooler and the inlet manifold, so the compound and the wall construction are matched to that circuit rather than to a generic hose spec.
• Export packing as standard — The range ships to Europe, the Middle East and South America, so cartons are packed for long sea legs rather than for a local van run.
• One reference set on every document — OEM 8200688708 and 8200201617 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.

Application Scenarios

Warranty-expired fleet maintenance

A fleet past dealer coverage moves to independent supply and needs the same reference coverage at a working price. Here the turbo and intercooler hose is ordered against 8200688708 and travels with the rest of the Renault branch.

Counter stock for a busy platform

Renault volume in the region justifies holding the line on the shelf instead of ordering it in per job. This reference, 8200688708, is bought for exactly that situation on Renault vehicles.

Breakdown repair

The vehicle is off the road and the part has to be right the first time, which makes the reference match the whole decision. For 8200688708 the practical step is confirming the cuff diameters, the bend angle and the clamp or quick-connect style at each end before the order is placed.

Who It Is For

• Exporters and consolidators — shipping mixed cooling-system pallets into Europe, the Middle East and South America. They judge 8200688708 on one thing: whether it matches the part that came off.
• Aftermarket distributors — stocking cooling-system lines for Renault across a regional network and needing a reference-accurate catalogue behind the shelf. For them 8200688708 is a line on a shelf, not a project.
• Workshop and fast-fit chains — replacing turbo and intercooler hoses on Renault daily and judging a supplier on whether the part fits first time. What they need from 8200688708 is that it fits the Renault on the ramp today.

Problems It Solves

Long lead times on slow movers

A slow line ordered alone waits for a container. Consolidated with fast movers it travels on the same shipment. On 8200688708 that is settled before the quotation goes out.

Unclear compound

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. On 8200688708 that is settled before the quotation goes out.

Reference mismatch

Visually identical parts carry different connector geometry between model years. Quoting OEM 8200688708 and 8200201617 fixes the identity before money moves. On 8200688708 that is settled before the quotation goes out.

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.

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 8200688708 and 8200201617 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 8200688708 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.
