Thread: another blown turbo hose?

Will have a look tonight.

So far so good made it back. not sure if I am still hearing a very feint wheezing noise but car drives good.

on another note, my rear mudlap is tearing off.

only instead of the rubber tearing off - the whole bolt thats attatched to the body came off... and to make it even better - it tore the sheet metal off the body lol

This is what your hose should look like after the recall work. The hose bracket is fitted to the alternator
Check your air filter box does not get damaged during the work. Mine got slightly damaged

Yes, I heard it was the bracket holding the air box to the inner guard that could be damaged, as the airbox was difficult to remove from it?

To replace the hose and install the bracket the air filter box comes out. To do this properly the AC line should be removed with the refrigerant reclaimed.

As if this is going to happen!
So the plastic filter box gets squeezed from under the ac pipe fitting and can get damaged. Some have reported cracking of the box. Mine had the plastic lip on top bartled where it got forced past the ac fitting. It has not caused the box to fail but its poor workmanship

The info I had was that the air box was fitted to the bracket via rubber grummets, and that as the fit into the grummets was very tight, damage could occur during removal from them?
