Paul Whiffin Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Had a right result today with one of the cars I have for sale, after doing all the usual diagnosis I thought the turbos were shafted, had some hybrids sitting here ready to install. Started taking it apart and one of the turbo pipes had collapsed internally. Had one of these last week as well, not as bad this though. The car had no boost on the 2nd turbo at all. Saved me a nice chunk of money! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kranz Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Has it collapsed where a jubilee clip is over the hose or just where oil has weakened it??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Whiffin Posted November 20, 2008 Author Share Posted November 20, 2008 Nothing to do with the jubilee clip nope, its collapsed in the middle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miko_supra Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 interesting find. Thanks for posting it up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Good find Paul, and interesting too, wonder what caused that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Whiffin Posted November 20, 2008 Author Share Posted November 20, 2008 Probably oil and old age I would have thought. We've had before on a turbo drain rubber pipe doing something similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlT67 Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Which one of the pipes is it, at a guess is it the one between the turbo intake pipes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Crikey, not seen one like that before! That looks like a lot of oil in there, was there a terminal problem with the turbo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveR Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Did the pipe still look normal from the outside? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dandan Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 I've changed mine once and on another vvti too. Did it at about 70k as a preventitive thing. Nothing like that bad but there was some evidence of the inner ply starting to come in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
