Split hose

quattrokid · 21-01-09, 09:45 PM

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

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

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

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

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

so is this the end of my woes?

john johnson · 21-01-09, 10:01 PM

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.

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

how many hoses are on a WR anyway?

john johnson · 21-01-09, 10:12 PM

PM'd you on the other side fella

quattrokid · 21-01-09, 10:27 PM

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

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
