Split hose
 

TT4WD ( Colin) called me tonight to inform me that he has found a split hose going from the turbo to the metering head on my WR:tup::tup::tup: the one with an elbow join in it. Colin mentioned that it looked as if it has been bodged at some point in the distant past.It isnt visable when the air filter and metering head is in position. I am also having new manifold gaskets fitted while this kit is out for investigation.

SO........ question is, will this severly affect the idling speed and also the car's inability to restart when its at operating temperature please?

Other than this hose split what other effects will this cause?

thanks Colin its much appreciated ole pal you :rock::tup::cool::smilewinkgrin::lol::lol:

progress at last, something definate to indicate Archie's lack of interest when starting up from warm and idling.

its an air leak old boy

A split hose certainly won't be doing you any favours Rich. ;)

:yikes:

:lol: i figured that wee bit out myself John but thanks for telling me:tup:

so is this the end of my woes?:idea:

Rich! change it and find out, it wont boost for a start very well. Any split is bad news Rich, i have blown hoses off and the car grinds to a halt and had micro splits and leaks and all affect the running

hi Pete, thanks for your inputs chaps, hope its as simple as this.:nod:

I'll phone P.Reeves tomorrow and ask if the hoses are still available.... this isnt going to cost a kidney will it:devil:

how many hoses are on a WR anyway?

PM'd you on the other side fella

got it thanks:tup:

Used to be £50 off Pete ,got one on mine works fine now, no boost if it's knackered.

spoke to Pete Reeves this morning........... was quoted 170 quid for both hoses:yikes::yikes::yikes:

Then called Colin back........ so he is going to get some of his suppliers to look into making some instead.

..... for a bit of silicon hose....!!!!!!!

any wonder Audi doesnt supply parts at these prices. Oh Audi would charge about 200 quid but its now NLA.. no surprise there then!!

these parts should cost a few quid at the most:grr:
