Petrol car next ? Can't you use the bolt clamp things or are you all ready using them , every one has hoses popping off tho
I think its most likely. There is just so much more support in the market for Petrol cars.
Wow - that really did upset you. Did this lead to you making a Fiesta ST look quick or something equally as catastrophic ?
With everything you've done to your car mate, you must be able to do something to get these bloody pipes to stay in place. It'd be a shame to see it go due to this, but totally understandable if there really was a Fiesta involved today!
I hope you think differently once you've calmed down fella.
Its just getting harder and harder to constantly be battling with same issues having spent so much money to try and achieve something that should have been done and dusted over a couple of years now? Like I said before I ultimately want performance and reliability. I feel there isn't enough support in the market to get the car there at the moment. What do I do, pump more money into intercooler, readjusting pipework, new clips, joiners etc...? Its not like I could go to forge and persuade them to develop a whole new system for free...they wouldn't even do it cause its a diesel car.
Has it popped off the connector which connects into the turbo outlet?? If so, dont give up, that connection and the egr one are the two weakest point now. egr one isnt a
problem cause its easy to access. But what you need is a silicone joiner to connect the pipe and the silicone jonier to go over the turbo outlet and clamp down hard
I cant really see but I think the piping connecting to the silicone has come come away as I am getting vibration.
Only way I see to resolve
problem is to take car back to Hayword and Scott.
Get them to:
1) Chop of the plastic connections to the intercooler and weld on metal piping. This is to stop weeping pipes, seals, popping connectors.
2) Weld onto the SFS turbo outlet connector a metal pipe so silicone can really clamp on. Get them to adapt piping further on the piping around that area to improve things. Still living the weak SFS clip there which will haunt me forever more unless I change turbo.
All I am seeing is £££££ going out my pocket when it should be going on a cam or a bigger turbo.
Chin up maz, we've all had them days.
The car has come way too far for you to go selling it. Imagine the next owner with his gritty yellow sponge ruining your hard work lol. Plus trying to be sensible with cars just back fires, mine just cost me £300.
Yea but the benefits of changing are looking more appealing. Yea I know that unless another enthusiast buys the car is probably will get ruined but I could also strip off the parts. How much do you think my car is work, 39k 05 plate?
