Our garage suggested that the engine could do with new silicone hoses for the intercooler\turbo system. The existing ones had got “collapsible” over the preceding years, leading to slight power loss. Fitting the new ones (turbo to intercooler pipe, intercooler pipe to intercooler and intercooler to inlet manifold) and the accompanying clips was easy – before and after pictures above. They look good too!
Parts used:
- TF732 – Defender Td5 silicone hose kit
- PYC102340 – hose clip 60 mm spring band x 4
- PYC102350 – hose clip 50-70 mm x 1
- PYC102360 – hose clip 55-70 mm x 1
