Dragonball Posted March 14, 2003 Share Posted March 14, 2003 At 120 leps on the M3 - outside lane! Interesting experience - like fuel cut - big time! However after replacing clamp on the pipe (down under battery tray - pain in arse!) tightened all the others all round and found some really serious play in all of the 10mm fixings! Car really seems to be performing better and certainly the idling seems far more stable! Just to flag up that it might be something worth checking!

Alex Posted March 14, 2003 Share Posted March 14, 2003 I had to double juby clip mine in the end to stop the hoses blowing off.....thanks to Terry S for the juby clip at 10OTB...still owe him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Posted March 15, 2003 Share Posted March 15, 2003 Had simular probs with mine after the FMIC was fitted. As Paul said always seemed to happen at the worst possible time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Dunk Shaw Posted March 15, 2003 Share Posted March 15, 2003 Jubilee clips just aren't up to the job on the bigger diameter stuff, got myself some proper st/st hose clamps coming for mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B3any Posted March 15, 2003 Share Posted March 15, 2003 I did that the other day Wooting up the A50 i was overboosting so was seeing about 1.35 Bar, and i heard a pop , though shit, had no boost at all, looked under the bonnet the intercooler pipe had blown off at the bottom!!! Put it back on and tightened her up, the top Clip was loose as well.. Definetly something to check especially when raising boost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
