Loose Turbo Pipe

Postby John235 » Sun Mar 09, 2014 9:58 am

When I bought my 08 plate TDCI 110, I noticed a bracket that attaches one of the turbo pipes to the top of the engine had snapped off. I replaced this bracket complete with two rubber mounts. Today, I found that both rubbers have torn out, and the pipe is again loose.
Should I replace the mounts again, or can I modify using a normal bolt and rubber bush? The pipe in question is on the near side, runs from intercooler over the top of the engine & "disappears" down the back.
Any ideas?

My ones did the same , I think its a bad bit of design /manufacturing in the plastic piping, ie not exactly the twist that the pipe needs to sit properly .

I only replaced one of the bushes and let the other hang free.

Did you just notice it was loose when the bonnet was open or was it making rattling/ making a noise?
