Good to hear it was something easily fixed.Originally Posted by gavinwibrow
This is one of the reasons I like the Samco XDB hoses.
They have a section at each end that has one ply less than the rest of the hose. This stops the clamp slipping out of position and also gives better clamping as there is less material under the clip to compress. Even so I had one inadequately tightened clamp blow off soon after I fitted them

I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food
A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking

While your all thinking about turbos I've noticed my Td5 (99 auto with recently replaced motor & turbo both 140000ish) seems to rub well with decent boost in cool conditions (morning/night) but once it's warm/hot it just doesn't seem to have anywhere near the pull & hunts through th gears. Not black smoke or anything (although it does have a leak in the flexi piece on the downpipe) but after the dramas I've had with it I'm a little cautious.
Any ideas???
Hello
you should hook up with a electronic diagnostics (nanocom) maybe you MAF is not so good, unplug it to see if there is any difference running.

Thanks Ian, I'll give that a go. Are MAF problems common/expensive?

In my experience engines will generally perform better in cold/wet conditions rather than hot/dry. That said I would expect a similar performance up untill the mid 30's unless I had a heavy trailer behind me.
A dead MAF is not uncommon but if correctly diagnosed is a 5 minute job to replace. There are plenty of threads here on diagnostics using either a nanocom or multimeter.
Cheers
Steve
