Loss of power 4th & 5th gear around 1800rpm - Limp mode??

Hi Adam

No problem mate
Does make the car much smoother and a lot more responsive without that bunch old redundant spaghetti

How is your inlet manifold gasket ?
and the hose from the turbo to pancake pipe (mine split on the pancake end) clip overtightened!

dunno how you hear a hiss mate
My engine is so noisy i don't think i would hear a bomb going off 10 feet away

That's what i was suspecting last night could it be a rough manifold gasket? Im sure it was really good when i refitted the turbo, i even used some gasket seal.

Pancake pipe?? Ya lost me there bud.

Yeh my engine is pretty noisy, its most likely me, as i have never spent so much time under the bonnet as much as i have in the last 6 months, lol

Hi Rick,

Check the pipe between the n75 and actuator. If its original it may well have cracked

 

[ruffrida]

Cheers Beachbuggy, but all pipes have been replaced, have done as Cobra suggested above, so only have the 3 pipes now, which are all brand new red ones

Hi Adam

it won't be from that one mate as that is before the turbo (TIP) so no boost in there.

Confused now !

 

[Cobra88]

that pipe is where the turbo draws air in before compressing it then sending to intercooler.

i would guess your noise is coming from the other hose on that end of the turbo.
it heads out over the right driveshaft and can sometimes rub through on the right driveshaft so i would check there next mate.

[ruffrida]

The bottom hose that goes to the intercooler?

Will have a look at that later, cheers

 

[Benjiman46]

Could it be the TIP collapsing under the load, the long period it was sat for could have perished the rubber?...

 

[Cobra88]

yes mate

most likely place is near the turbo where the soft hose goes above the driveshaft

Rick
Ben: the tip is hard Polypropelene on the 110

Nice 1 guys

Can this be replaced on its own or do you have to buy the whole pipe?

 

[Cobra88]

on it's own

mine has gaffa tape to reinforce it
