Intercooler turbo boost pipe (lower right) retaining clips fail again. 2002 B5.5 130 bhp Passat sport

The connection on the turbo boost hose to the intercooler has failed again. The x2 holding lugs to the intercooler connection clip does not hold the hose in position. This is the third hose failure which happens around every 50,000mls. Is there an upgraded clip or other modification available?

Have you tried some adhesive on the inside of the hose, has worked for me in the past
