Not AGAIN!! Another Split Hose!!

Hmmm .... ANOTHER one has gone!!

 

At Boxhill today I was telling people that my second turbo was feeling a bit funny. On the way home it was even worse - 2nd turbo wasn't working at all!! Popped the bonnet, and very quickly noticed that one of my FMIC hoses had split (see pics below).

 

Hose 1

Hose 2

 

Firstly ... could this have done any damage in the 20 mins or so that I was driving with the split hose? Could have sucked something in the hole I guess?? Also, the inside of the split hose was very oily!

 

Secondly ... Does anyone have a short length of 2.5 inch internal diameter boost hose that I could get my mitts on urgently to fix this?? :p :p

 

Cheers, J :cool:

 

p.s. I blame this 100% on Oxy after I was taking the piss out of his 'burning' car at Boxhill - :p :p

Ahhh ... well I will certainly have that off you too :cool:. My bumper is coming off soon to be repaired, so I'll get all the hoses changed while I can get to them - If one of the ones behind the bumper splits, then I really will be screwed!!

 

Cheers, J :p :thumbs:
