P***ed off yet again

[villain24]

Just went to my local dealer to have the boost pipe sorted(this is the third time) chap came to me with a £93 bill, paid went out opened the bonnet and it was still hanging off. Went mad got them to put it back on and was given a refund. Tried telling me that my turbo's knackered as when they took the pipe off in the lower section, lots of oil came out. They then said that a new turbo fitted was £1700:w4nk: I could probably get a hybrid fitted cheaper than that on exchange. So there gonna order me two new pipe sections and hopefully it will stop popping off. Turbo has packed up my a**!!

Complete utter ******s. Id ask to speak to the manager bloody cowboys.

Thats what i thought Poverty! the turbo is fine, it's just that stupid design of a pipe which is held on by coat hanger wire what a crap design, don't think they have this issue on the 2.0 tdi's???

Admitly i havent seen the mk4 engine bay, but wht cant you just secure the pipe with a jubilee?

complete idiots seat realy are thick mine went in for a rattle last week and i got told it was wires rapped around the gear lever went out and amazingly the engine was still doing it .now they are saying its a secondary fan rattling which makes more sense but they said they didnt no if it was normall to rattle.

You need two clips, not two pipes! The clips are the weak point in the kit!

The pipes only need replacing when they've been rubbing on something, I had to replace my top one on my old 130 as it decided to throw it off into the alternator pulley!

 

[rashcupra]

when the clip is removed it is then never as tight again. probably why its always blowing it off!

What he said... and get some uprated ones.

 

[muddyboots]

The small metal lugs on the pipe ends (that the clips retain) are quite weak and can wear down - especially if the pipe's been off once or twice. Once this happens, it's new pipe time, and the pipes are quite pricey.

You can't put jubilee clips on these pipes, as the pipes have metal ends which slide inside rigid plastic housings such as intercooler etc.

Oh and it's normal to get oil in the boost pipes downstream of the turbo, doesn't mean you need a new turbo.

i had this problem twice when running my first stage 1 map, after i had been to allards they replaced the lot as lloyed said its a crap design and when funning just over 30psi of boost would blow the hoses to bits lol... problem sorted.

 

[villain24]

Cheers for the comments chaps. Can't remember who said it but your completly right all i need is new clips, besides i've allready got new pipe sections. Oh well theyve ordered them now. The noise i was getting when going over certain bumps appears to have gone. Kid at the dealers said that the part connected to the smic was loose. Thing is the sound seemed to be coming from higher up.

the intercooler pipes as MuddyBoots said are pricey!
the cheapest is £80 plus VAT, ranginging up to £130 plus VAT!!!!!!
thats for a bent bit of braided hose with a sh1t designed coupling at each end!
