    MY13 limp...

    8 week old MY13 110.

    Started making a loud hissing sound last night, followed by Engine management light then Limp Mode. Sounds like an inter cooler hose has gone. Damned if I can see where though.. I was rather surprised to see some really cheesy looking inter-cooler hoses wrapped in what looks like a spiral of wire. The failure was preceded by some truly awful vibrations through the steering wheel whilst under heavy acceleration, at freeway speed, and when the wheel was turned just slightly right. I though Diff was faulty but now I think Inter-cooler hose was rubbing on the steering shaft. Last night I was wondering how to explain that vibration to the dealers. Luckily it did not take very long to fail!.

    Any way - off it went on the back of a tow truck.

    That's bad luck bb, but in a way it's good to have it happen well within warranty period and not when you're on a trip.

    I'm sure we would all find it informative to learn the details of what went wrong.

    Mine did the same thing with 137km on the clock, turbo hose came off the outlet side (I thunk) I was on the way south to visit my sick father, put me 5 hrs behind by the time they flat topped it back to Southport and refitted it. They did tell me it wasnt uncommon as they have had a few do the same thing after incorrect fitment on holy ground (Solihull). You would think though that as it has raised it's ugly head a few times (and that was 14 months ago) that they would include a quick check on the dealer delivery check. The car has been great ever since though. Hopefully that's all it is for you, good luck.

    What you are mentioning is the very basis of a current recall.
    If the vehicle in question had its PDI after the recall was released this should of been carried out. But as far as I'm aware it wasn't released until recently

    Recall had been done, but appears a different hose split this time.
