Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

03 C2 with Tip, I'm pretty sure the Heat Exchanger is leaking (#18 on diagram). Is all I need is the two o-rings, #19 and #20? Seems like mine looked more complicated than just two bolts. Am I missing something? How hard will this be? Link to Parts Breakdown
Four bolts and four o rings, two of each size for the o rings.

the two bolts look easy to get to, what kind of magic do I need to get to the other two? And also do I need to drain the oil before I go pulling that thing?
Remove the intake to get to the other 2 bolts. No need to drain the oil.

I was afraid of that! So that would be the passenger side intake? Anything special about taking that side off? Tools?
Nope it was pretty easy (well easier) on my 3.4l because the aos is not in the way.
When I removed my intake, this was my best friend... Small ratchet with wobble extension. You may have e-torx or allen bolts.
