Thread: Tdi turbo hoses replaced - lack of power still exists. Help?

anything between the airfilter and turbo,if the budget can handle it replace with silicon,perhaps a hose kit to suit your model,clean out the intercooler there is some posts on here as to what to use,personally i use petrol but for heavens sake make sure all the fumes are gone before reinstalling,I leave mine in the sun for a couple of hours to help with evaporation.

So what would I ask for ? an "intercooler hose kit", a "turbo hose kit" a .... ?

Hi Vlad,

Something like this I imagine:

200Tdi Defender: Land Rover Defender 200Tdi Hose Kit



I have delt with Allisport in the past an they are excellent. However, I'd imagine there are Oz suppliers that can help also.

Cheers,

You could go something like this:

PM991 | Silicone Turbo Hoses for Defender 300TDI

Or go to Tony Powell Hose Supplies at Geebung. They have a range of black reinforced rubber hose and bends which is just as good as silicone but without the bling factor, and at a fraction of the price.

Does Tony Powell supply these hoses ready to go to suit the 300Tdi or is he just a general hose person who cuts lengths to suit ?

Edit: Found the website - which hoses type do you mean?

Anyone know the "specs" for ordering the appropriate hoses?

My old mans were just starting to let go when I caught his.

The most noticable one is the elbow from the outlet of the turbo to the steel pipe that runs to the inlet of the intercooler.

Easiest way to check is to squeeze the hose, if it feels softer than it should it may be delaminating. Pull it off and have a look inside the hose, you should see bulges where they shouldn't be, inside the hose

This is the kit I bought

LAND ROVER DEFENDER 300 TDi TURBO SILICONE HOSE KIT | eBay

Do you have a 200 Tdi or 300 Tdi?

I would recommend getting a decent set of hose clamps while your at it

Also it would pay to check to see if it is actually the hoses that are the problem, the lack of power problem may well be something else?

Tony Powell is a general hose supply. He'll whip out his hose and cut it to length right in front of you. I wouldn't even know where to start looking on the web site. Just go in and ask them about turbo/intercooler hoses and they'll give you the options. They have a good range of hose clamps too.

The easy option, like others have suggested, is of course just to buy a pre made set off the net. You'll need an address to have them sent to though - are you still homeless ?

As said by Jock, the most likely one to go is the 90* elbow at the outlet of the turbo going to the metal pipe.

Many years ago my elbow hose split (LR wanted a fair few bucks to replace), I pulled the hose off, measured it for internal diameter and approx length of elbow arms, called a turbo place out of yellow pages, bloke couriered the hose to me, had to trim with a sharp knife as the arm lengths were a little longer than needed, changed in carpark in 10 min. Jobs done.
