Thread: Puma Defender Turbo Hose Recall Notice...Who's Received one?

G'day mick,
Yep they had one hose in stock and put it on yours as you had the further east to go..was your lucky day!

Damn, I was lucky. I feel sorry for you though

Imagine if we were be able to bill them (service provider) for our time, and in your case loss of work when we get dicked around, I bet there wouldn't be simple stuff ups then.......

There would be nothing stopping you.
You might not get paid though

I get quite a few random invoices come across my desk. Usually a 'what's this for' and 'why isn't my purchase order number on it', and the matter is dropped.

Got mine done today. Seems OK - But most amazingly they did not dent the crap out of it like the last dealer did - so I call that a win. I'm not sure if they got the air box in correctly - I can wobble it a bit - but I can't remember if that is how they are?

Hi I had my hose fail and it was done by austral land rover , on my 130 single cab with 40000 km , the dealer pulled my air intake out off the back of the air box and didn't seal the joins back up again ( sickaflex ) 2 months later still trying to get them to seal it back up again . It been back 2 times and they tell me that the mechanic has done it . But they haven't. Thanks gouldier.

I got mine done last week and there is a different noise coming for the turbo....more sooking noise than there was before.

Anyone else notice this?

My turbo hose got replaced last week by Concord Land rover.....
I took my 90 in for a service (which they didn't do properly, but that's another story), when I picked the 90 up they told me that they did the recall notice for the turbo hose.....

The latest turbo hose had previously been installed (with all the latest brackets by Alto @ St Leonard's, who did it properly).

Driving home from the Concord Land Rover dealership (about a ten minute drive) the 90 started to make very loud hissing noises under throttle, I pulled over and had a look at the hoses.....
The hoses were hardly on at all, hose clips were loose....

While looking underneath, I could see oil coming from the oil filter housing as well.
Anyways, to cut a long story short, I walked the rest of the way home, borrowed a mates car trailer and towed the 90 home with one of my other 90's.
I spent a few hours fixing what concord land rover stuffed up on the Landy, including fixing the turbo hose properly.

Mike.

Im assuming each dealership has an idiot apprentice in charge of turbo hose clamps. Mine blew shortly after they did the recall and my 90 got its first ride on a flatbed...
