Hesitation under load - Page 4

Annoyingly the first thing I looked for when I opened up the bonnet was the hose I'd adjusted. Was fine. Then I started looking at all the other induction hoses but the one I couldn't see (because I'd literally just reattached the cover) was the one that popped off!! Course if I'd had the aforementioned tools I could have taken the cover off easily enough. But then again there was no way I was sticking my head under a wheel where I was broken down!!

Very much this! She even had the foresight to bring a rope she 'found' in her car. Pissy little thing it was but folded over 4x did an A grade job!

Tightened up the clip on the offending hose as much as I could and took it out for a short drive today. Was mindful not to load the revs up too much until things settle down a bit! Apologies for the poor vid quality - better will be along soon!

Ejit, this is the better one I should have posted!

As special as the car makes me feel (when it's bloody working) I passed 2x Bentley convertibles, a Ferrari 308 and was following the latest XKR convertible which in turn was following a factory fresh AMG C63. That's a lot of penile extensions to see on a short trip from my house!

Gotta say the XKR made a DIRTY sound as it blipped past me (I wasn't on top form for fear of turbo hose popping off again - must clean it thoroughly and double clip it!)

So my tightening up of the jubilee clip did not prevent it from blowing off the hose repeatedly so today I got under the car and removed the offending clip to replace with another and immediately realised what was amiss.

The clip I'd put on was far too large and so when I was tightening it up I was actually screwing it beyond its limit as you can see from the pic:

So a new stainless one of the RIGHT size was fitted and properly tightened up which should hopefully stop that "pop, whoosh, feck feck feck" sound!
