Stonkin Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Hi, When i drove home tonight after leaving it parked up for a week, i noticed that when joining a motorway the car wasnt making the usual bov noise or the 'de de de' noise when letting off, but i hadnt given it full throttle. When i did, but only briefly as i thought some thing felt up, it felt a little sluggish and still made no noises when letting off. I tried again with 3/4 power and when the boost controller reached about 0.7 it sounded like the turbo made a 'fog horn' type noise. Cant really describe it any other way. I took it easier for the last 5 miles home keeping it off boost. Any ideas what could be wrong? Would it be turbo related or perhaps just a boost leak somewhere?

j_jza80 Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 I'd start by looking for a split or demounted hose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sprag5 Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 i had something similar and noticed one of the pipes of the BOV was split! there was no funny noise but sometimes when i put my foot down nothing happened Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stonkin Posted March 10, 2009 Author Share Posted March 10, 2009 Found the problem. I take it it just needs a new rubber hose? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Multics Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Looks like an inexpensive fix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonkin Posted March 10, 2009 Author Share Posted March 10, 2009 Yeah seems that way Can someone explain to me whats going wrong with this broken. I know its obviously not making a good seal, im not stupid but what's actually happening and therefore making the noise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooquicktostop Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Glad to hear it seems to be a simple fix, was feeling your concern for a while ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonkin Posted March 10, 2009 Author Share Posted March 10, 2009 Can anyone point me in the direction of what size i will need to order and perhaps where best to get it from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 If you tell me the size i may have one in the shed, got loads of bits in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonkin Posted March 10, 2009 Author Share Posted March 10, 2009 Ok cheers Jamie, am just about to go out but will let you know in next couple of days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonkin Posted March 16, 2009 Author Share Posted March 16, 2009 Im just about to order some replacement hose (sadly Jamie's didnt fit) can anyone please advise what temperature rating i will need? Was going to order from this site http://www.viperperformance.co.uk/materials.php?cat=2977 but they have a few different types. Pics are on previous page to show which pipe im after, but its the reducer pipe that connects the intercooler pipework to bottom of turbo.
